Victoria faces a repeat of ''Black Saturday'' horror conditions

Victoria, Australia is staring another possible ''Black Saturday'' in the eye, with emergency services and the State Government warning of immenent danger to everywhere in the state.

The state, which has only just begun the long road to recovery after February 7th's Black Saturday event in which over 200 people have so far died, is now facing horror conditions of up to 140km/hr wind gusts and lightening strikes across the state.

The huge Kilmore-Murrindindi complex is expected to break out again, and make a mad dash towards Eildon and possibly even Mt. Buller, whilst a fire near Daylesford is also expected to break control lines.

Firefighters have been rested in an effort to make sure as many as possible can be out fighting the flames, however even the 4000-strong team won't stop much when the flames begin to pickup in the wind. Helicopters are also expected to be grounded due to the extreme winds, leaving fires to ultimately burn freely.

Many schools have been closed in the bushfire regions, and emergency services authorites are urging everyone to listen to 774 ABC radio, and have a portable battery operated device in case the power goes out.

Since Black Saturday, the death toll has risen to over 200 and is still expected to rise.
