Home Fires Burning

Thankfully, no one I know has been affected directly by the Panhandle fires so far. Last night was apparently kind-of dicey though. Officials announced a voluntary evacuation of Lipscomb County (where my parents and brother live). Mom had Andy on the roof with a water hose. But winds died down overnight and crews were able to contain the fire. Dad says there isn't nearly as much smoke in the air today as there was yesterday.
For some incredible photos from the fires, click here. Or give some love to the good folks at the Amarillo Globe-News.
