The fire as of the time of this posting is 0% contained. It is about 15 miles east of me. There are a lot of hotspots around but the “main” one is out near Bastrop heading southwest. They are evacuating people. So far this fire has displaced over 6,000 people, scorched 14,000 acres, and destroyed 400 homes.
Stiner Ranch hear austin is totally evacuated. 25 homes have been destroyed. This is just starting. And we are waiting for Perry to call up the National Guard to help.
