Anyone have news regarding La Riata Ranch out 304 from Bastrop?

[luvie]

Got this from El Gato on Facebook.....

“Can you help me get this out? It’s legit. EMERGENCY!! There is an URGENT NEED for horse transport for evacuation in Bastrop County, TX. Barns that were used to house evacuees are now in the fire’s path. Rt 304 still open both ways. Anyone in the area who can help, please call Beth at 512-467-4893 or Rachel at 512-581-2940. There at least 43 horses in immediate need at their rescue...sure there will more”

Please ping those who might be able to help with this situation...on top of all the others!
