I already made a post, but I decided to make a part two. 20,00 acres burned, evacuees arrived at the fairgrounds were I live, there homes were just a mile away from the fire. Here are some pictures that my grandpa took at town and his work, alot of smoke

Oh goodness, what happened? How did this fire start?

More importantly, was anyone hurt? I hope not

 

I don't even know where "here" is but I'm still a little worried.

Unknown. Nobody knows how the fire was started. All I know is two people were hurt, but so many dead animals it makes me wanna cry.

:/ wow that sounds really bad!

 

It's hard to really appreciate things like that over hear the in UK where it never happens!

 

I hope no damage was done to much, shame about the forest but I wouldn't worry to much , most forests need a good fire to help them regenerate properly and a lot of animals have coping mechanisms so although it may look bad for them it's not as bad as you think !

I think it was a year or two ago when there was a 7 month drought in Texas and the rest of the south, but I remember there being a ton of fires like this. None too close to home luckily, but the smoke was basically being blown out of Texas through the Gulf of Mexico, so we saw a lot of smoke where I live. It was quite saddening to see that reminder in the sky that people were losing their lives, homes, and livelihoods. When it finally rained again, it felt like we were seeing rain for the first time...
