About 90 miles Northwest of Katy, Texas as the crow flies is the small charming town of Bastrop, Texas. Unfortunately this small town has been fighting wildfires fo rthe past 48 hours.The severe drought that Texas has suffered this year is partly responsible. Over 476 homes have been lost many residents have been evacuated. Please pray for them. There are many fire departments fighting this huge wildfire some are from nearby locations such as Katy, Texas, The Department of Forest Service as some as far away as Alabama. We are staying ( hubby and I ) at the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort in Bastrop.This is usualy a easy under 2 hour drive from Katy, Texas Lost Pines is right on 71 close to the fires. Luckily the wind is blowing the fires away from us at this time. This is a great destination place from Katy, Texas
These pictures were taken from Highway 71 heading East. 25,000 acres have been burned here in Bastrop over 5,000 people have been evacuated. Please as stated earlier pray for these people.
