El Presidente Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Lisa, reports are that most of the missing have now been found. We don't have a lot of Tasmanian members and are trying to contact the ones we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 That sounds positive. To see this as a headline, with photo, was pretty alarming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hope all Tas members are safe and well. This week is going to be a scorcher across the country, with a very high risk of bushfire breakouts. If any members are in high risk areas, don't wait till the last minute. Get out while you can and stay safe. Material things can always be replaced, lives cannot.
