Re: The Dry Side of Lee: Not So Nice in Texas

As of Thursday, the bigger fire in Bastrop County has destroyed 1,386 homes. Still 30% contained but the big fire retardant carrying DC10 is supposed to be
helping in a few hours.

There's a big fire in NE Texas and the one NE of Houston which is spread across 3 counties. Plus more - it's difficult to keep up because everyone is so busy.

All the metro areas tend to report on local fires and the Forest Service mentions the largest ones.
