Re: Texas Drought
It's unreal how bad it's become.
Last weekend just due west from a lot of members here in our area they just recently got control of a wildfire
which burned for a week and put many out of house and home during the evacuation, some completely
as their homes burned down.
One of my customers not to far from there pumped over 1/2 his pool water out stopping one that started
in his neighbors backyard from embers. They called the VFD and were advised that if there's anything you
homeowners can do, do it immediately with garden hoses, rakes, and shovels.
He called me for a large 3" pump and by the 20 minutes it took him to get to my shop and back it had grown to
4 backyards and well over 2 acres burned. When the volunteer firefighters showed up it was 90% out.
In just a millesecond it's like the problem of our lake being low no longer seemed so important.
See ya,
Kelly
