Pray that they have rain to help the spread of the fire. Hope there are no injury.
So sorry to see you guys go through this...we lived through the Las Conchas wildfire here in Los Alamos but at least now we are receiving some rain to relieve the drought somewhat...
Map Please. Texas is huge and those of us not in-state would like to know what areas are effected. Thanks!
So, who is god mad at this time?
Ironic how the livestock in the foreground of that picture is the cause of the natural disaster (one of many due to climate change) in the background.
Perry better get his arse back home and "wow" another 25,000 sized "crowd" at another prayer rally. The last one did get Dallas a few drops of rain. Seriously though, I love Texas (have a son in Austin) and feel so sorry for it's people and livestock. Same goes for Oklahoma. Fires like these are horrors of the worst kind.
