The Bastrop Fire

I believe it has been well over a week since the wildfire started in Bastrop.  The latest reports are saying it has burned 34,000 acres, 550 homes, and killed 2 people.  It is just terrible, and they are saying it is only about 30% contained at the moment.  With the lack of rain, and the excessive heat this summer, fires are happening all over Texas, and are very scary.  I cannot believe how quickly the fire is burning on this video:

My hubby is heading to Bastrop early next week with the Response and Relief Network to help feed the the emergency workers and to pass out donations to the fire victims.  His work as a Mercy Chef will come in handy in this effort.  My heart goes out to those who have lost their homes and loved ones.
