David- Hopefully they get the fire under control tonight (and hotspots). The low humidity, lack of rain for months, and wind are recipe for disaster. Magnolia has taken a beating with roads, schools, and businesses evacuated/closed. I think we're gonna see the effects for years to come. Very sad.
My father in-law has a ranch in Sugarland... they are parched... selling off livestock... keeping "inventory" to a minimum. Really sad...
Don't forget about the 800 homes burned in a single fire in Bastrop County. That fire displaced approx 5,000 people.
We drove through Bastop on I-71 right after they reopened it. Both sides of the freeway looked like a war zone with just black sticks where trees used to be, and several structures burned down. Pretty crazy sight. It's gonna be a while before they're back to normal.Quote:
