You, Too, Can Fight Forest Fires

Well, I don't really know about that, but you can keep up with the range fires we're having here in Texas through the Texas Forest Service. When you get to the site, look under Spotlight and you can read current updates in text, or you can look at maps on Google Earth. I have a wish that they'll have a fire station (on a tv channel, nice play on words) and burn radar that shows fires the way we watch storms. Good luck figuring out that Google Earth thing. My computer runs too slow.

The photo was taken around 6:20 p.m. today. The wind changed direction from sw to nw. This smoke is from the Kent County fire. That little bit of white on top looks just like a thunderhead. TxDOT guys are on the Kent and Fisher co. line keeping traffic safe.
