texas fires

thanks everyone for the concerned texts/emails, but lucky for me i haven't been involved in the fires. they are, however, a little too close for comfort. here are a few resources if you want to see what is going on down here in the lone star state.

this is a real time map, if you click on the flames it allows you to see how large each fire is and the % contained.

this map shows the smoke range of each fire.

if you want to donate your time or physical/financial donations this is a composite of websites where you can do so.

this video illustrates how quickly the fires can spread.

also here is a google image search for pictures.
