Gavin Volure’s Peanut ButterWelp here in the TX Hill Country we’ve got 30-50 mph winds, 20% humidity, buttloads of dust hazing up the air, and what they’re calling “historic wildfire conditions.” A 100-acre fire is burning about 15 miles from here and they’re evacuating everyone in the path. It’s but one out of many in my area. Watch Duty app is dinging me every 5 minutes. Intensely dislike everything about this. #TXWildfires
The wind is supposed to die down a bit by 9pm, so that’s something I guess. Got my go-bag by the door just in case.
UPDATE Extreme Fire Danger over. Dreadful Acres lives to be dreadful another day!
quixote@iBlame How awful.
Though good that you have a go-bag. I keep resolving to put one together, and then I fizzle out in the first round. "Take your important documents." Omg. "Important." What's important? List of vaccinations. Huh? it's in the garage somewhere.... And then I give up and go and eat pie.
Hisses with Geese 🌱@iBlame oh, crap. Hoping you and the collective family at Dreadful Acres stay safe.
A Vernal PoolShit, I hope you guys stay safe.
AnnZ@iBlame so scary, those hot windy days are nerve wracking. I hope the wind drops!
@alfazed7 We’re all good for now. But the long hot summer looms, and it’s supposed to be a doozy. So in addition to the fascist coup, I’ve got months of potential infernos to fuel my anxiety! What a time to be alive!
@iBlame glad to hear you're out of danger!
Here in the Bay Area we had a comparatively light fire season last year, who knows what spring/summer/fall will bring. In addition to everything else...
