The fire maps tend to show an increase in just about all areas for some reason. Went outside because the news said we had an orange moon from the smoke, but it wasn’t. The cool finally got here though!
Wind has laid, still blowing some, but I’m well south of most of the bad fires.
Here in Kerrville as well. Got news that a friend lost is house in Bastrop. Said he feels like a refugee but he's being processed ... got his papers, photos, guns, cars and hard drive. ~ God Bless Texans! ~
I’m so glad some cool weather has reached your area and others south of us! Isn’t it just a God send to experience relief from the 100+ temps we’ve had all spring and summer?! Also heard this morning that the winds were dying down some. Good to hear. I hope these conditions and added resources can begin to help the people whose lives have just been affected by this nightmare.
I heard from my friend this morning who lost her house in Bastrop. She said her community has really pulled together and everyone greets everyone with a hug. She said on top of the heartbreak of losing her home, it was so hard to see her friends and neighbors lose theirs too. But at least she and her husband can stay with their son, but he’s near Bastop too, so may be at risk too with 0 containment of this fire. On her Facebook page, she thanked all for their support and prayers and said they are working.
So I just continue to pray.
It is good to hear, though, that maybe weather conditions have improved and can ease some of the burden on the firefighters.
