Governor races back to Texas after hundreds of homes lost in fire-ravaged state
'Officials have ruled out arson as the cause of the fires, with blame instead being attributed to tropical depression Lee, which was graded as a more serious tropical storm when it came ashore in southern Louisiana early on Sunday.'
They just got the winds without the rain.
Translated (LOL!) I think that means that Lee caused a lot of strong winds without any rain. Several fires were started by electrical lines blown down by wind...and of course, the wind was making the fires worse.
I saw a fire in College Station city limits Sunday that was caused by electrical lines being knocked down.
