Victoria fires...

I'm not sure if any of you are aware outside of Australia, but currently there are 20 out of control bushfires of epic proportions raging in Victoria. Over 50 people have lost their lives, and that's a conservative estimate. It already has a Wikipedia article - which reports 65 dead and 640 homes burnt to the ground.

As well as the victims of this tragedy, can you please keep my friend and spiritual brother-in-arms riven_scythe in your thoughts at this time; he's currently got all his belongings packed with his family and is waiting to see if they'll need to evacuate their house, as the fires are predicted to hit their area soon.
