Central Texas has had a record breaking summer when it comes to being hot and dry.

And after a long, dry, hot summer, on windy, hot days like today, this happens:

Here’s the neighboring Bastrop County fire.

Fires have happened in several locations near our neighborhood. The largest is the Bastrop fire, but the entire area where my previous school is has been evacuated. Hundreds of families are displaced while they try and fight a fire there. Just now on the news, it’s been reported that 25 homes have been destroyed. The thought ties knots in my stomach. All those families and friends our in our thoughts tonight.

So, next time you stop and pray, remember Texas. We really all the positive thoughts, prayers, or karma you can send our way…
