I am not sure that I have adequate words to write about the devastating bushfires in Australia. According to this
January 6th NPR report there are at least 136 bushfires burning in Australia with about 25 deaths. There are a very large number of animals killed including but not limited to cattle, sheep and other livestock. The NPR report includes a map of where the bushfires are burning. Bill Gabbert of
Wildfire Today writes on
January 6th about some 1,000 plus people being evacuated by navy ships and on
January 4th Bill wrote about two deaths on Kangaroo Island and more air tankers being sent from North America.
CNN, January 6th Australian bushfires report by the numbers :
- 2,700 firefighters working the bushfires, at least three have died.
- estimates that 480 million animals have died
