    This is all Al Gore's fault for inventing global warming.

    Looks like Magnolia West High School might go up in flames...hopefully not.

    As someone that grew up in Magnolia, this fire sucks.

    That's a brand new school, too. I have many friends in the area. I haven't heard from any of them so hopefully they're safe.

    Oh. My. God.

    This weather sucks. I have never been depressed about weather before, but this feeling of hopelessness is awful.

    Codell, you guys doing all right? You lived in that area if I remember correctly, no? I have a ton of family in that area. My mom's uncle owns has/had a restaurant in Plantersville, but I haven't heard any updates from her on him. A few of my family members have evacuated, and I heard there are rumors about the actual town area of Magnolia being at risk. That would be terrible. Could be some places I hold sacred from my childhood going up in flames soon.

    Think my A/C is busted. I took a nap during the day and woke up drenched in sweat, it was so unbelievably hot.
