Tom:
While it is difficult to imagine such tragedy, I have been through a few
Hurricanes and seen the devastation and loss of life..  Our thoughts and
prayers are with all of Australia tonight!  We pray for relief from the
fires for your country!

Hi again guys,

 

Yes-I am actually well away from it this time (unlike in 2003) however many
of my Pattern friends are in the state of Victoria and may well be affected.

 

The death toll keeps rising, it is up to 185 when I last heard early this
morning. They are expecting well into the 200's-this is just terrible!!
Entire families and towns have been incinerated-it is truly apocalyptic.

 

Everyone is just at a loss at this tragedy. The weather conditions during
and leading up to the fires have never been experienced before-its really
crazy. We here are enduring a nine year drought, up North are cyclones
causing massive flooding, and down South the country is being incinerated!
Everyone has had record heatwave temperatures (115+) and we actually had
claim to being the hottest place on the planet last week.

 

Anyway-I know its not pattern related, but I wanted to share  with you the
tragedy unfolding down here. I have no word yet of how many pattern guys are
in the areas affected.

 

Thank you for the well wishes-I'm sure those that need them will appreciate
them.

 

Tom

Tom,

 

For certain our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by the floods
and fires.  I'm so sorry for so many who must go through these tragedies.

 

How about you, are you in a safe place?

Hi Guys-

 

Not sure if you guys have seen the news about what's happening down here.
Its a real tragedy. One end of the country is drowning in Floods-the other
is burning to the ground. Entire towns and communities have been lost due to
the fires. Over 107 fatalities and over 700 houses are burnt to the ground.
Back in 2003, my own city lost 500 houses, but whilst still a tragedy, only
2 deaths-unlike the 107 sofar.

 

Spare a thought for these people and communities who now have nothing.

 

Tom Koenig
