zaphod Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'm a student at Blinn College, campus has been shut down. Lots of traffic in some areas, I could see the smoke and for a while it was bright orange in color, pretty wild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, do we even know that they might let people return to their homes by nightfall? It's only 5 PM.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTiger Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 The fire is out and citizens are now returning home.I think this was the location, but I'm not sure.See, Puma, traffic's not going to be no worse than normal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Very good thread title, Iron Tiger. I had been on another site hours earlier and due to the vague topic title, never clicked on the thread.I'll just do a quick update to make it known this fire was on Thursday.
