We have lost a lot of homes in one fell swoop.

We’re Burning In Texas…So We Close Our Eyes A…, posted with vodpod

Arson is suspected. Destruction and mayhem on purpose. I will never understand why someone would want to purposely do this. We haven’t seen rain in almost a month. Texas is firewood waiting to happen and it happened. Prayers for all.

I hear Barack wants to throw another $300 billion into the firewood in order to create more jobs.    I won’t hold my breath because it will be the same as tossing the money into one of our wildfires.

Just a quick reminder of how deadly these fires are.

(Ralph Barrera AMERICAN-STATESMAN) The Bastrop County Animal Shelter was busy rescuing stray animals from the various fires around the county taking them into their shelter for treatment and hopefully to be reunited with their proper owners. Animal Control Officer Patti Hilliard baths this young black cat who was rescued while clinging to a burning tree earlier today. She was astounded that the cat was in good health and spirits as it purred after the cleaning.

We have never seen anything like this in my lifetime.
