I live east of it and work south of it. The winds have been E/NE. It's been blowing away from me.
I'm inside the loop right now.
Dang...
Yep. It's out. Clear day today and high pressure. Back to the normal light brown layer of surface air.
The fire is out and the smoke was blown west/SW by the wind. Texas City was never in danger from it but it never hurts to call kids. My kid called me from Austin to make sure we were okay.
Is El Paso far enough away to not be affected, I have a kid there also.
El Paso is seven hundred miles from here; they're good.
yeah, we got a good laugh out of the distance, eldest is still as far from her sister in Texas as she was when in NY and here at home.
Texas is BIG.
real BIG
there's probably more they not telling, good luck
You folks who live near all that crap have probably built up a tolerance to it, it's everybody else that should be staying in, IMO.
I would call it indifference more than tolerance. Some people have or develop respiratory issues and just have to move away from here.
All the time I've spent looking for land around here, I never went looking out that way...... and shit like this is why.
You could look further east but one of these days, Houston will sprawl all the way to the Trinity River.
Yeah, I been pushing my search west. I'm looking at a site near Sealy this weekend, and I saw some areas I liked up by Navasota, too.
