Oh my....so sorry to see this happen in my home state. I grew up in Tyler, only 80 miles to the north of Crockett. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: Luglio 10, 2010 Comments: 15808

I'm featuring this pic in my blog. I've suffered drought before. '98 drought county wide evacuation, the state burned but we didn't lose our communities to the fires. This is epic like Russia last year, Australia the year before, the stuff nightmares come of. So very sorry for TX. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: Agosto 10, 2005 Comments: 355

Wow, this is a devasting time for so many in all of texas and neighboring states experiencing such a fierce drought...Lord I hope the rains come soon..these fires look so big I really wonder how long it will take to get the upper hand... Coming from a fire prone area of So California, I can so relate to how horrifying these fires are...thanks for sharing Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: Ottobre 6, 2010 Comments: 6741

Wow! A great shot even tho of a terrible tragic situation. So sorry to see this happening. Congratulations on your first AC. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: Giugno 5, 2010 Comments: 36696

Thanks, everyone for your good wishes and kind words. I am honored to have received the AC but I sure wish it was for something other than this fire. The home next to the cattle pen had not gone up when we had to leave, but there was no chance, other than a miracle, for it to make it. That family will have lost everything. I know they were getting their animals out, I have video of that, but I don't think they had time to get much more than the animals and the clothes on their backs.

Tropical storms to the east, but none where they can benefit you. Stay safe, and thanks for the great photojournalism. Kudos on the Blue! Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: Luglio 16, 2009 Comments: 23085

Our hearts in South TX go out to you guys. I cried off and on yesterday thinking about the fires and devasation. The photos are so surreal--and great ones at that. Congrats at the AC, and I know what ya mean wishing it was for something other than fire. God speed. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: Luglio 15, 2005 Comments: 371

Thank you all for your good wishes and prayers. We are all fine so far. My in-laws live about 10 miles from the fires and so far the inferno is not heading that way. The hub and I live in the Houston metro area and are AOK for now, despite the extreme drought. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: Agosto 15, 2002 Comments: 172

Congrats on this photo in World View. I hope you don't mind, but I think I found your video. Soooo sad for everyone and all the animals.

Nope, don't mind at all...except that my accent comes across as horribly thick. I hate listening to myself speak. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: Agosto 15, 2002 Comments: 172

Quoting Moussifer: ...The home next to the cattle pen had not gone up when we had to leave, but there was no chance, other than a miracle, for it to make it.... I agree with your assessment, and I believe it was a miracle that their house survived, although they lost a barn and lots of equipment! I sent the lady who lives there a link to your awesome pictures here on WU. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: Settembre 9, 2011 Comments: 1

30. Moussifer 04:42 PM GMT del 09 Settembre 2011
OMG, EasyGo! Thank you for that bitter sweet news! I am so glad that the home was saved. I know the equipment loss hurts, but losing a home means so much more. Please relay my deepest regard to the family. Thanks. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: Agosto 15, 2002 Comments: 172
