Diary Entry 4

Dear Diary

It is around midday and we haven’t been giving the all clear to come out yet. The temperature is outrageously hot and I can barely breathe. My brother on the other hand is worse. He has asthma and is taking puffs every 4 minutes to help his breathing. We have eaten a bit of food but I don’t think any of us have the appetite to eat anything. All four of us are sitting in silence hoping to hear something on the tiny radio we have. Mum sits there asking herself how this happened and going on about how she doesn’t understand. When I know exactly how it happened. You learn about it all in school natural disaster and hazards but you never think one will actually occur where you are. It makes sense though, we have experienced the worst drought on record this last month, the temperatures have been extremely high and the wind this last few days must have just given it that last kick to start a fire.
