I got an email from my BIL earlier and one of our cousins lost their home in the Cedar Creek area. The outside buildings were OK, but some embers must have landed on the roof an it caught fire.

That is most of what what happening in Bastrop the pine trees were catching fire and dropping on the rooftoops and burning the homes...

it was moving so fast there was no getting ahead of it.

and the heat from the homes burning just kept it going.

worst of worst situations

I’m so sorry. It’s going to be a long road for those who have been hit with this.

This is the first news I’ve read this morning about the fires.

It’s heartbreaking.
