How fast can it move?

This fast.

When someone bangs on your door and tell you that you have FIVE minutes to get out, remember this video from Texas Parks and Wildlife!



Bastrop State Park -- what's left of it today. This fire is finally up to 45% under control.

This does not show all the fires in Texas (it does not show the one closest to me, which is on city/private land, not state or federal land) but it gives you an idea of what's going on. If you zoom in, you'll see more fires. Click at the tip of the flames for info.

Apparently there's only 100 acres left of Bastrop State Park that have not been touched by fire, although they've so far managed to save most of the CCC structures. That's over 6,000 acres lost.

Beautiful and functional. I think it might be too busy for me to get any work done, but oh, what a lovely display!
