Texas is burning.

Not sure how much you out-of-state guys are getting about this on the news, but the wildfires in Texas right now are insane. The biggest one is in Bastrop, just southeast of Austin. It's burned about 34,000 acres and 785 homes.

One about 4 miles from my house was apparently started by 4 teenagers. Burned 10 homes.

Check out this video to see how fast they were moving Sunday, when winds were really gusting:

I didn't realize y'all were already discussing this in the heat record thread. Sorry. Thought it was weird it hadn't been mentioned.
