    Come to AZ and talk about wildfires. Thats NOTHING compared to the fires we have seen this year. Not saying that any wildfire is less dangerous than another or anything like that, but we have had some of the worst ever.

    Just this year we have had one fire that burned 538,049 acres....thats ~840 square miles...and a second that burned 222,954 acres...thats ~348 square miles.

    In 2002 we also had one that burned 468,638 acres...~732 square miles.

    We had three here around Paris and Pattonville yesterday. Small ones like 20-30 acres burned by each. However, that is a daily basis around here lately.

    I wouldn't say that its nothing since it took out over 500 homes and claimed 3 lives so far.

    Wow this is crazy funny to think you guys are prolly hoping a hurricane comes and pours some rain on you. Fires are a big sad event.

    One of my best friends lives in Austin and he's been giving me updates. So sorry to hear this is going on down in Texas. My prayers are with all of you who are affected.
