There was an article on my Home Page that listed all the fires in this area and I just went back and checked and its not there now.

I think they had about 22 listed on there, but the nearest one to us is pretty well south of us in the next County down, so there's no urgency on our part. But like I said, I'm going to hook up my trailer tomorrow and have it ready just in case. The thing with these fires is how fast they spread. We're about a mile from a paved highway and if a fire started along it, it would only take minutes for it to get to our place.

But there's no urgency at the moment.

The thing is that I would be afraid to sleep if I were in your position. :(

Yeah, I have a laptop that goes in the trailer, but if anything really happened I would sure try to get my desktop computer.

And I'll sleep with one eye open.

We have a Weather Radio and if there are any emergencies like a fire they announce it on that radio.

I found this map of Texas fires, for anyone else (like me) who needs a visual...Fire Activity

What a hella lot of fires!! I truly didn't realize Texas had that much forest lands to burn. My relatives are in Spring & Austin, which look like they're far enuf away from danger I don't need to worry!

That's a good map techno, but it seems to be reporting the larger fires. I can see in our area at least two that are not on it.
