Fires have been raging in Australia for the last six weeks. NASA took these pictures which show the smoke from the fires enveloping the region from space. Say a prayer for the families and friends of the 65 people who have been killed in the fires so far, and pray there are no more casualties. Say a prayer for the exhausted fire fighters still battling the blaze. I'm sorry to say that even though I spend a couple of hours daily on the computer--this is the first I've even heard of the fires. Is the American media egocentric or what?
**Update**
Since I posted this early this morning, the death toll has risen to 84 people.
***Update 2***
Now 108 people have lost their lives in the Australian fires.
***Update 3***
The death toll has risen to 131. The fire sites have now been declared crime scene because it appears the fire was intentionally set.
