126.

Things that have left me reeling.

The number of burns victims admitted to hospitals. At one stage they ran out of morphine. They ran out of morphine. On top of that, gossip has it today that the theatre air-conditioning broke down on the Saturday due to the heat. And so did the lifts. *sigh*

The numbers of deaths and how spread out they are.

"Victoria Police have confirmed that 33 people died in Kinglake, nine were killed in Kinglake West and seven died in Strathewan.

Six people were killed in St Andrews, 10 in Marysville, eight in Narbethong and three in Taggerty.

Seven were killed in Steeles Creek, two in Mudegegonga, one in Yarra Glen and four in Koornalla.

In Hazeldene two people were killed and three perished in nearby Flowerdale.

In Gippsland, nine people were killed in Callignee and one person died in Upper Callignee.

Four perished in Hazelwood and one died in Jeeralang.

Four died in Wandong, one in Arthurs Creek, one in Eaglehawk and four in Humevale.

Six people died in unspecified locations.


St Andrews, Kinglake, Arthur's Creek, Kinglake West, Strathewan, Flowerdale, Marysville, Steeles Creek, Taggerty, Narbethong, Yarra Glen and Humevale are all from the Kinglake Fire Complex.

Wandong is from the Kilmore fire complex I think.

Eaglehawk and Long Gully are from the Bendigo complex.

Callignee, Hazelwood, Jeeralang and Koornalla are from the Hazelwood fires.

Mudgegonga is from the Beechworth fires, which may have started as the Kinglake fires.

They're predicting up to 200 people dead.

I don't know whether they haven't reported any deaths from the Bunyip complex because it went for longer and people had more time to get out, or because they haven't had time to get in there yet. I'm hoping the former.

There were 31 active fires across the state as of 5.30am on Monday, the DSE and the Country Fire Authority (CFA) said.

I was outside at midday, and it's warming up again.
