We're okay - at least so far. :-) The wind picked-up this afternoon and it skipped the hastily-constructed firebreaks in a couple places but I think they contained it again.

There have been black rain clouds moving over us all day, loaded with moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, coming your way where it's not needed. My lake is low, the feeder creek is dry, and we'll soon be out of irrigation water - then we can watch all that hard work go up in dust! the only thing that can save our crops now is tropical weather off the Gulf (hopefully not TOO strong, but right now I wouldn't turn down a hurricane - bring it on!!)

PS - it's not "you all", it's "y'all" (one word) LOL
