There are several fairly near, Yorkie....
There was a 15,000 acre one south of Midland on Saturday that
is now under control. Lots of folks were evacuated and are now
back at what homes are left.
There is a 70,000 acre one at Ft. Davis that is just devastating. Many structures burned.
There is a rather large one near Alpine...not contained yet.
There is a new one near Iraan that is sending smoke...because
of the high wind...all the way up here. Our town looks
hazy because of it and I can smell the smoke.
There have been numerous ones around the edges of town but
they have been taken care of, thank goodness!
It’s very scary. :(
I’ve been reading about the fires in Texas, too, Luv. Its just terrible. I never have realized that Texas is as dry as you’ve described it. One part of the country is so wet that they have horrible floods that wash away homes and people and in Texas and California, they have so many fires and California has those awful mudslides.
I guess during these times, all we have to do is remember Japan and those poor gentle people.....who have nothing!
OMG, that is AWFUL, Luv! I knew there were some - but had no idea it was this bad! A wildfire is SO frightening - especially when there are high winds. Stay safe!
