On February 8th, 2009 – 18:48 ltmon says:
I’m fine, as are all relatives. My in-laws live in Gipplsand, and have had a terrible time of it the last two bushfire seasons but missed out this time which we’re thankful for.
Given where n0mad and Kraizen live (Frankston and Broadmeadows), I think you’ll find they’re just fine.

Great to hear you’re fine, and most likely the others are too.
Really sad news about how this is turning out. The news is worse by the hour. Been keeping up to date here

Got sick of watching the TV news and seeing journalists pretending to care.

My uncle was living up north and lost his house, and a cousin had inherited a house in King Lake, and she lost her house. I don’t know much yet. Cept that they are both alive (my uncle was on the news).
I’m worried about N0mad though. He isnt in frankston (there were fires in Langwarrin 5 minutes away from Frankston btw), hes about half an hour out of frankston in a bush area. Hope your okay mate!
Argh.
Anyway, best wishes to those affected.
Thanks for all the support guys.

Thanks for checking in Kraizen, We’re happy to hear that you and your relatives are safe. Stay in touch dude..
n0mad I’m waiting to hear from you mate, please check in with us when you can so that we know you are safe.
Our hearts and minds are with you all.
Let us not forget too those up in the Top End coping with flood waters and crocs swimming up and down the streets.
Rest in Peace those lost during a time that will be long worst remembered in this nations history.

Kevin Rudd talking on the news right now.. He looks/sounds like he’s had as much sleep as I have ( aka, NONE) .
Still havn’t heard from n0mad, so I am now engaging panic m0de.

On February 9th, 2009 – 07:52 Fuzz says:
This isn’t concrete, but I just checked the sites logs and it has n0mad having last logged into the site 14 hours ago – which should be a good sign.
Don’t suppose anyone has his mobile?

Thanx’s for ya concerns guys been supporting my br0ther as his girlfriend who lives in Bunyip and it ain’t looking good over there..
Narre Warren fire was close to home but still far enough away as to not cause a problem
Living in Farm land you always look outside hourly but so far TOUCH WOOD we haven’t had any serious fires down here yet.
Bunyip is another story;

Play this for a couple of hours and dance to it. So addictive.
One guy i worked with listened to it for over eight hours straight, needless to say he’s not around anymore cause I killed him and hid the body.
Muahahaha

Dunno why but, I had the feeling that the Vic Fires would be on the main news on the nasa.gov homepage.

Also, Queen Elizabeth II has pledged to make a private donation to the Victorian Bushfire Fund. Thank you kindly Your Majesty.
