As one who was too close for comfort, re the Las Conchas fire this summer, I want to mention that we have members in the Austin, TX area. I hope they and their families and properties are safe. That goes for anyone in or near any of the fire areas in TX, OK and any of the other calamitiy areas in the country.
I will. I had hoped some of the predictions would be correct and that the storm would have brought needed rain to Texas. Instead it just brought wind and fire.
