You, sir, are ignorant. Maybe also an idiot.

Yes, Texas has been burning for months. Horrible fires last spring west of Fort Worth.

But this week has been the worst. High north winds generated by Tropical Storm Lee in Louisiana, coupled with relative humidity in single digits and a huge state that is crispy with drought led to horrific NEW fires all over the state YESTERDAY.

Just one spark and you had an out-of-control fire.

Educate yourself.

You are just stunningly wrong.

You are just stunningly wrong.

Your long post and links are stunningly irrelevant to anything I have said about the fires. And everything I have said about the fires is correct, and I used a quote from Perry as the basis for my statement that they have run for months. I thought they'd been going most of the summer, but I learned from Governor Perry's words in the link in #43 that they've been a problem since December of last year.

Try not to put so much effort in irrelevant posts.
