Here's another link to a report on the story.

I was looking for this to make the local news.
I drove past this mess on the way to a fish fry yesterday,
it's about two miles from the house, just past the first river crossing.

Always the intrepid photographer of course a got a couple of pictures.

And one from the store:

The road was shut down until 11:30, I had to go to a bar and wait.

Speculation at the fish fry was wild. Houses and meth labs don't burn for that long.

There was still smoke all over the woods this morning.

Massive tire fire! That must have smelled really bad. Interesting Fish fry you must had Gunner... :)
There were some fires in NC and the great dismal swamp a few years ago and the smoke blew and stunk up where I live in hampton roads for weeks. But I bet yours smelled a lot worse! :)

I’ve been told the smoke is a lot worse when Eaker is grilling your steaks.

Shouldn’t this be in Breaking News and Front Page News?

I tire of these stories.

But, you should have started a blog. You could have called it “TalkRadial.”

Just don’t start multiple treads about it.

How is this breaking news? /s

Your fish fry would be an interesting story.

MMmmm....let’s see:

Catfish and Large Mouth Bass fried in corn meal, onions and cilantro. God knows Texas Large Mouth Bass are the biggest and tastiest.

Of course there would be beer - domestic.

Plenty of liars talking about their biggest fish... that got away of course.

Cigarettes and cigars.

Girls who like men that take care of stuff and don’t apologize.

Talk of the Deer season or hunting boar in Louisiana.

Talking smack about Democrats in general and making fun of Barry, Nancy and Reid.

For the closing act have a few choice words for Bwarney Fwank and his ilk.

All of this would have been preceeded by prayer of remembrance for Sam Houston, Davey Crocket and everyone who died at the Alamo, followed by a F** and a middle finger to Mexico and a demand Mexico send another Santa Ana.

All would acknowledge the great Lone State of Texas and they don’t need anyone, except....

Well they would acknowledge thanks to the Sooner state of Oklahoma.

Texas owes a great deal of gratitude to Oklahoma because if Oklahoma didn’t suck, Texas would fall into the Gulf of Mexico.

Etc, etc, etc.

Now that would be a story.

Last time I went through New Caney was in ‘97 on my new Gold Wing. Probably changed a lot.
