Fires affect more than landscape. The water supply is of concern.

@On It  Thank you for keeping all of us posted.  The photos really capture the intensity and destructive nature of the fires- I am so sorry that you and your village are going through this.  You are showing so much courage and strength during this difficult and scary time.  You are in my thoughts and prayers and I hope that you and your family are safe.

I received word that the mayor is estimating it will be a week or more before evacuees can return to the village.

@On It   HOW FRIGHTENING.   Please stay as calm as you can.  I wish you safe travels,  if you have to leave.  Hoping all turns out well.  Sending you hugs.

My gosh, this looks horrible.  Fire is something to fear.

We evacuated Monday afternoon. The entire village had a mandatory evacuation after we had departed. Our vehicle was packed and ready to go. We had little traffic. The ones who waited had to do an urgent evacuation. They were in very heavy traffic until they reached Roswell. There was only one highway open for evacuations; the fire had closed the other two routes. We are in Texas.

Such devastation in your beautiful village and beyond.  So glad you are OK, @On It .

@LTT1  You're so kind, LTT1.  I don't get wild fires in my city, but I know they happen in other parts of the USA and I hope and pray that On It and everyone effected by the fires are safe and ok.
