Texas Fires

Just a quick note to let folks know we're okay here, but we're keeping a close watch. All it takes is an unattended BBQ/smoker or a carelessly tossed cigarette butt to potentially start another fire, so please be careful, no matter where you are! Here's a rundown of links that will help you stay up-to-date on the latest:

    I stand with you on that cigarette butt issue - even here in East Tennessee. We just had a neighbor lose an entire trailer loaded with round bales weekend before last. Some nimrod threw a butt out just as they were passing him. Almost as if they were hoping. His insurance will not cover the load or the trailer. Sadly - he was bringing the load to Texas.

    I'm staying up to date. Had to call my in-laws living at The Woodlands, near Spring. They've been so busy taking care of DH's grandmother that they weren't paying attention. They're just south of where it hit Montgomery County.

    Y'all just stay alert and ready to go. I'd rather unpack for no reason - than to run like hell - empty handed.
