"Morbid Headline Catches My Attention"


"Oh ya and people are dropping like flies here. Seniors dieing of heat stroke, bushfires ripping through towns. 49 people died on Saturday, the hottest day in 150 years of Melbourne's recorded history, 46.4 degrees."
This was the initial report I wrote on the day after "Black Saturday", the death toll has now reached upwards of 180 making it the worst bushfire and natural disaster in Australian history. The toll is still increasing as police and the army search the towns for more of the dead, in addition to the headline above, new temporary mortuaries have been set up in a fashion rivaling the London bombings. Over and out.
