Your Katrina-Tx Fire-Media is probably very well on target.
But truthfully, unless Perry has a super duper magic rain dance in his repitoir, he can’t fix it.
Dewhurst has the power to activate the state response if necessary. The Feds ain’t in the mix, imho.
But you are right...perception is reality. (much like Katrina)

UPDATE 8:30 PM: The fire in Bastrop County has been confirmed to have burned 14,000 acres and has grown to become an estimated 16 miles long, said Mark Stanford, fire chief of the Texas Forest Service.
“It’s catastrophic,” Stanford said of the Bastrop County fire. “It’s a major natural disaster.”
Forest service spokeswoman Lexi Maxwell said that fire began around 2 p.m. in the Circle D subdivision off State Highway 71. It merged with another fire north of there which pushed south and crossed over State Highways 21 and 71, Maxwell said. Aerial units estimated at least 300 homes had been damaged or destroyed by the fire.
Maxwell said another, unrelated fire has been reported in the The Colony subdivision in Bastrop County, which has forced evacuations.
Anyone know of any fire problems near Round Rock? My son lives there.
