Cursed Drought!

The part of Texas I am in is under a drought right now. Tuesday evening we had a wildfire nearby. It took out several acres and a lot of trees. Running across the land also happened to be above ground, and below ground, wiring for cable, phone, and electricity.

Some people lost power. A lot of people lost the phone. The ENTIRE TOWN lost cable! We just now got it back. They had to replace all the lines, both above and below ground.

I'm just glad we didn't lose power. Sitting in 100 degree heat would not be fun at all!!

Re: Cursed Drought!

I'm worried we can't pop fireworks on the 4th! There is a burn-ban all around us.

But you really don't want to lose power with this heat!!
