We need rain!

Catastrophic fires burn thousands of acres, force evacuations across Central Texas
Fires in Bastrop County, Spicewood, Steiner Ranch, Pflugerville, others driven by wind and dry conditions.

The largest and most destructive fire was in Bastrop County, where a blaze burned 14,000 acres and grew to an estimated 16 miles long by the end of the day, said Mark Stanford, fire chief of the Texas Forest Service.

Firefighters battled a blaze in a part of the Steiner Ranch subdivision northwest of Austin that destroyed at least 25 homes and forced hundreds to evacuate. RM 620 was closed in both directions near the subdivision for hours.

This feels so eery and a little scary to smell the burning and this smoky haze all around. It looks like rain on the horizon, but it's smoke.

Wow, we were right here Sunday morning. I guess the house we saw burning was a part of starting this. The wind was so tremendous. We ate at Southside in Elgin and the lights went out from all the wind.

The pine trees are like kerosene.
