this was sunday....austin is in flames this evening. too many fires to count. this one is across lake austin from my house, mabye 2 miles away. at least 25 homes burned, 4000 (all of 'em) evacuated.
fire in bastrop tx is 16 mi long and 4 mi wide. 400 hundred homes burned so far.
fire crews are stretched too thin. temps over 100. wind gusting all day long. no rain in months...not looking good for lots of folks.
