Instead of running away!!!

Where are the chainsaws????

[koolsummerbreeze]

@tarara666 ....That is 20 miles by 25 miles of 200 foot tall flames in thick forest. The fire is so hot that the trees are exploding. One of my favorite Parks in Texas. Gone :, (

[tarara666]

@koolsummerbreeze Sorry for that comment,

i just cant imagine wat power this have!!!

i hope that the people get save there,

I'm from belgium and here its rainy for the last 2 months,

just the opposite.

Whats the explanation for the hot weather over there?

[KimiMustang]

@tarara666

It's Texas, hot weather isn't uncommon here. Hot weather isn't what causes the fires though.This year we've had the worst drought(in Texas history) ever, so everything is very very dry/dead, which is a perfect breeding ground for fire if somebody were to accidentally flick a cigarette onto the ground or simply cause a small spark that hits the ground.

[koolsummerbreeze]

@tarara666 ...This is the worst one year drought and heat wave in Texas history. Fifty days in a row above 100 degrees with NO rain. Thousands of Volunteer firefighters but they are stretched thin fighting all the different fires. They say blame the weather pattern 'el nina.' The Jet Stream in Northern U.S. causing flooding there and heat wave here in Texas. Thanks for your reply.

@koolsummerbreeze just remember the good thing is that the pine combs need fire to germinate so we will have a new generation of pine trees

ITS A FUCKING WALL AND THE GOVT HAS THEIR FINGERS IN THEIR ASS. THEY ARENT GONNA STOP IT, ITS GONNA BURN AND RUN ITS COURSE, FUCK FEMA AND FUCK THE COCKSUCKERS PULLING THE STRINGS OF CONGRESS.

[fly049]

What time of day was this filmed?

[chriscurl]

@fly049 I think it was all between 7pm and 9pm, somewhere around there.

[jh4dc5s]

They are chemtrailing over dallas to pull more wind in that area. This dont look good.

[HardRainAtNight]

@jh4dc5s Stop with the chemtrail conspiracy you weirdo

[jh4dc5s]

@HardRainAtNight nice try, and nice shill page btw.

[HardRainAtNight]

@jh4dc5s WTF is wrong with you? You better go hide in your parent's spare room because those chemtrails are being sprayed above your hood right now. You will never amount to anything because you spend too much time on fairy tails instead of learning life skills.

[phatcrayonz]

Wow!

[emoneytree]

God bless bastop Texas! My mom lives there!

[mstzydeco]

I am so sad I have some land in Tahitian Village and was going to build a house in 4 years. Meet some real sweet pepole there and it was a beautiful neighborhood. The whole town was beautiful. Prayers are with you all..

[vertigomike]

[inwinblades]

Anyone know if Kahalulu dr near Tahitian was burned? I can't seem to get in contact with the folks I know there, and no one on here seems to know.

[aswmbo]

@inwinblades

All of Tahitian Village subdivision has been under amandatoryy evac notice. All the smart folks have left as the fire has jumped from the north side of Hwy 71 to the south.

(The brand new Walgreens built on Hwy 71 near the Tahitian entrance is gone to ash...)

[inwinblades]

@aswmbo Wow.....terrible...I just hope they got out, and their pets too! So sad. Wish I could blow some of our rain down there. Thanks for the update too.- GrayBeard

[jenmusic21]

@inwinblades my brother lives in tahitian, hes evacuated, and said the fires 1/2 miles from the subdivision......not sure anymore than that

[fridayFreytag]

@inwinblades My parents house is on Kahalulu Dr. From what I heard from a source... It was said that a 1-3 homes were left on that street... there has been alot of rumors so I can't confirm that. Sure hope we can go see it soon!

[inwinblades]

@fridayFreytag Wow.... Thanks for the update...really appreciate it...still haven't heard anythings from the folks I know in Texas period.....it's like their all in Bastrop or something.
