Living through this has been truly hellish and I’m one of the lucky ones. This is the worst disaster I have seen in my 67 years on earth. I just took photos of our house and the contents in case our house burns to the ground. Everything is a tinderbox waiting to go up in flames. We haven’t had any appreciable rain since May 21, 2011 where I live southwest of Tyler. Two years ago we had 55 inches. In 2001 we had 66 inches. This year we have had 10 inches and virtually everyday over 100. Today will probably be horrible with strong winds approaching and NO RAIN IN THE FORECAST FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 10 DAYS. This may not end until December. Texas is literally burning to the ground. Water supplies are exhausted and people are forced to flee or risk their lives to save their property. Over near Corcicanna it just barely missed blowing up a pipeline. That would have been huge. The main rail line was on fire including one of the bridges. What is Zero doing? He treats Texas like a red headed stepchild and expects votes for what? At least Perry is doing the right thing. I don’t know what he can do but it is more than the cipher in the WH is doing. Perry and our two senators asked that Texas be declared a natural disaster area as far back as April. Now it is 100 times worse. This is truly HELL!!!
Praying for Texas. One of my children was born there. God bless all of you.
