Makes it hard to go to sleep, doesn't it Sandy? It's just awful, and so very scary. Be safe everybody!

I haven't had the news on for a day or two...are things getting any better? I worry for you all...not just the fires but breathing in that smoke everyday.

The winds have finally died down some so they are making progress on getting some of the smaller fires under control. The big one, that has burned over 30,000 acres and 800 homes, is only 30% contained and it will take a long time to get it completely stopped.
The bad news (other than the above) is that with less wind, the smoke is hovering everywhere. The air quality is now really really bad in Austin and the surrounding areas. Everything is hazy and you can smell smoke much of the time. At least the temperatures are cooler now. We are in the low 90's with 60's-low 70's at night. It makes everything more bearable.

My car and clothes smell like smoke. Praying for this to pass.

We've been getting rain and drizzle and I keep trying to push it your way but it's not working.
