Much of South Eastern Australia is threatened by bush fires today,Friday 17/1/14.
Our relatives in Renmark in South Australia have had to evacuate their homes.
This follows on from a week of severe temperatures.
In Adelaide we have had about 5 days in a row with the temperature over 42c.
Even hotter in regional country centres.
There are towns under threat as I type.
There is an all night watch on the local ABC radio keeping listeners and residents up to date.
In Adelaide itself a cool change has come in with very spectacular thunderstorms and some rain.
If you are a prayer please pray that there will be minimum serious outcomes from these fires.
There have been 3 properties destroyed in SA so far and 1 death in Victoria.
Many houses across the state are without power.
We have power to our house but the street lights are out after a very close lightning strike.
Here is a link to the ABC.

Update on Saturday morning.

There are still many fires burning out of control in our state.
