Texas wildfires

I'm fine, too. Fires are also about 30 miles from us, but we still have smoke. The winds aren't as high today, so the fires are better contained. Gayle, Dripping Springs is having big fires. That is the closest town to our friends Ranch.

Stay safe Sandy. Everything is so crunchy dry, and pine is so easily burned.

Thank heavens the winds aren't as strong today. They can spread a fire in no time!! I hope the fire fighters stay safe and get the fires under control. I sure wish that you guys would have gotten some of the rain from the tropical depression that passed by. There's still hope for another!!!

No rain for us Diana! Just days of wind that are making the fires spread so quickly.

I have a friend who has been evacuated twice from the Magnolia fires. We have two faculty evacuated from the Bastrop fire, but as far as I know, their homes are still standing.

Betsi I was thinking about your friends ranch when I heard about the dripping springs fire. We need a good rain so badly!

Their 45 min away from me so I'm safe but I have many friends living in that area. I hope they calm down already.

Glad to hear everyone in here is safe also.

I have a brushfire going at the back of the subdivision where my apartment is in the front. I couldn't get home until almost 7, and they think it will be contained tonight. It's so scary. Is this the end?

Makes it hard to go to sleep, doesn't it Sandy? It's just awful, and so very scary. Be safe everybody!
