Thanks, Justa. Looks like our ranch is right in the middle of the extreme red zone, although we pretty much knew it. Haven't slept well for days. The fires burned to the very creek on the back of the place a few days ago, but it's dry. Keepng the keys in the skid steer and tractor at all times to make fire lanes. God Bless our volunteer fire depts.

Praying for you, lil. Thanks for the report. I can imagine that you haven't slept well. I'm in nowhere near that much danger, and it is kind of keeping me awake, even.

People living out in the open in the grasslands are really at severe risk, with no one right around them to help them watch for fires. And the fires can move so fast. It has to be scary. I also pray for the volunteer firefighters in these areas, they are seriously overstressed right now.
