Rain and Fire

The wonderful sound of tyres driving through tiny sheets of rain on the road was the first sound I heard this morning. Thankfully we have rain today. Extreme fire danger in Canterbury has us jittery after the horrendous fires in Victoria this week. Having visited Marysville (one of the destroyed towns) a few years ago on our way home from Eildon, I can start to understand the enourmaty of the devistation. What I can't really get is how you start again after losing absolutely everything including your town. Who is going to help who when there is no one who can? Nice to be able to help at this time with money although it seems futile. Very sad.
