Got a link to these sent to me by my MIL in Houston:

http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/04/texas-wildfires/100050/

That is really something. Especially sad about the homes lost and the firefighter that died. Outside of populated areas, fire and floods are beneficial over the long term, but they don’t mix well with people or livestock.

Very sad for our Texas brothers and sisters.

We experience this sort of thing every year here in Kali.

The pictures are amazing.

Impressive. Sad about the loss of life and property.  Fire is an amazing thing.  Great when it can be controlled.  Very dangerous when uncontrolled.
