it was a little smokey here in Dallas this morning. the wind was blowing some of the smoke in from east Texas. They had 21 fires burning out there this morning. not as bad as Bastrop though. that's a big fvcking fire. and there's one near Houston too. worst one year drought in Texas history.

Hurricane Irene Lee (thanks SilverJ) whipped up some heavy winds, finally dropping our temp below 100 for the first time  in over 70 days. Not one drop of rain from it, day 110+ now without rain here.  All the hurricane did was make the fires spread more I think

Irene?  I thought that was Lee that made the fires worse, never doing a thing to help. (Well, Texas, that is.  It helped parts of Georgia a bit, before flooding them.)  Yeah, I still think a Hurricane (preferably, a big but not so strong one) could help, so as long as it directly hits Texas.  You need something that make it much further inland than Don, but not wipe out the coastal towns.

Until then, let's pray or keep hoping a frontal boundary actually feels like meandering further south or some of the monsoon a state or two spills over into Texas and hope the people in the path can get out safely.  Honestly, Mother Nature needs to stop teasing Texas already.
