The Horror Continues

via Kae, the death toll is now pushing 200

Firefighters are battling 25 bushfires across Victoria, as the death toll rises to 181, making it the country's worst bushfire disaster.

Victorian Premier John Brumby says he expects the death toll from the disaster to exceed 200, with more than 50 people still missing, thought to be dead.

The blazes have burnt through more than 3,000 square kilometres - entire towns were wiped off the map within 24 hours at the weekend.

Please give what you can to our dear friends Downunder.
