We've been out of school for two days now. Evacuees still housed in our HS cafeteria. But the fire is 80% contained as of this morning. Today will be pretty critical to see if they can reign it in or if the afternoon winds spark it up again.
As of last night, 70+ homes had been destroyed in our town's area (still about 20 miles away from my house, but too close to a lot of people I know) and over 7000 acres burned. Keep praying for our area and the rest of the state - that Bastrop fire is about 100x worse than ours. A friend of ours from A&M heard yesterday that their parent's home in Bastrop was a total loss.
