So far I've heard .2-.7 inches of rain. It's been windy sense it quit raining and more wind in the forecast. So I would bet we are in for some more fires in the future. No rain to speak of in the forecast either.

They've been fighting fire on ft hood all week. Yesterday I could see multiple small columns of smoke off the big fire where they were lighting back fires. The where saying 1000 acres and completely contained on the reservation. No worries. Got a little windy last night and now they've lost 10,000 acres 0 percent contained. Off the reservation and fixing to burn up the community of flat.

My crew guy said he is on a fire near Walnut Grove TX. Said Ft Hood didn't want help until just a while ago.

We've been watching it from McGregor-had ash flying all day yesterday in our yard, now a friend in Gatesville is a mile from another evacuation zone.

Looks bad. Keep posting some pictures.
I have friends that served at Ft Hood and I'm forwarding the pictures to them.
Last time I worked TX (2018) I checked in and out at the TX A&M Forest Service office in McGregor.

The wind finally stopped this evening, it was about 30 mph all day. Maybe they can make some headway tonight. Possible rain/storms Tuesday night. Picture here is from a friend who lives in Gatesville. From this afternoon

They were saying something like 223 fires statewide yesterday. Plenty of haze here. I was about 30 miles north of the Walnut Springs fire. Flat Top Ranch was at risk. The humidity came up a little. That might help some.
From back porch yesterday evening. I'm near Clifton looking south twds Gtsvle. & Ft Hood where the plum was originating. (30miles +/- away)
Looked like that behind me too all the way north to Iredell(sp)
Pretty incredible sight
Not NEAR the smokey tnite. But still smokey (Wind change I think)
Prayers for those in the path. (fighting it and otherwise effected)

Ash has rained down on me for 9 days straight now. It is terrible up here. Kenny those airplanes are amazing. We have those little dudes scooping water out of reservoirs and dumping it on flames. Its been bad here but so far I have been spared.
