Texas Fires!

[Old Rooster]

I know we have a lot of members from Texas and wondering how everybody is doing and are you directly affected by the fires?
Praying for all of you.

I would like to hear from the Tx panhandle folks too.
I have only heard bits and pieces and would really like to hear from those that are there

We're in south Randall county so have been fortunate to have been untouched by the fires so far. I've got plenty of friends and family north of me who've evacuated or lost everything though. Some just lost all their pasture, some lost their homes and are still gathering up what's left of their cattle. It's sickening to say the least. It was also very interesting getting smoke and soot filled snow last week!

I've lost 2 tractors, damage to center pivots and damage to other farm equipment. Fortunately no house damage. My 7215r survived.

I do understand the heartbreak, many years ago we lost every square foot and two barns and a vehicle. No one got hurt. I can't begin to imagine a million acres of burn.

All a very sad situation. Out of control fires are very scary and this one is just WAY OUT OF CONTROL!

There was a question on another forum regarding the safety of David Tubb since he is located in or near the fire area.

Some diligent tracking down provided the answer that both he and his family were safe. The shop was intact.

Twice during droughts and fires in Texas, I moved 115 performance horses to safety in another part of the state. After the second time, I moved everything I could get onto trucks to a state with rainfall and little to no chance of fires.

1 report was a power pole broke and was near/at the site of ignition. Can't confirm with 100% truth of report?

I haven't seen his resident's, but the business was safe due to very short grass. The short grass also saved houses around me. Concrete and metal is tough to burn.
