Thread: Wildfires

Hope everyone is staying safe with all the fires going out there.

Less fires in town; move out of the (dry) sticks.

I think John Chotkey had to evacuate his apartment, even though it is not in immediate danger.

There are nasty fires in Leander, about two and a half miles from me. No word on evacuating though. Saw a guy three houses down with a smoker in the driveway. He's either an idiot, or he has balls of steel.

Wolf had to evac, fires were 5 miles from his house. He has said that the fires are headed away from his house at this point now, thankfully.

the winds are so strong from that hurricane. I hope they dont change directions back towards his house.

That guy is a ****ing idiot. There's a burn ban on. For all we know, he caused the Leander fire.

I gave him a nasty look. He eventually put it out and moved it back into his garage. I notified the HOA, and reported it to the police. Although, I'm sure they have their hands full right now.

here is a video from CNN.

Crazy, scares me that it could go into burbs area pretty quickly

Go up to Crystal Falls and give the locals his address. I'm sure they're not too busy to have a "talk" with him...
