Governor Rick Perry has asked President Barack Obama to declare much of the State of Texas a disaster area. This request comes as dozens of wildfires continue to burn around the state and new ones ignite everyday. It is difficult to even go outside in the Waco area without experiencing breathing problems due to the smoke in the air.
On Monday, the wind did not seem to blow as hard as it did over the weekend. Maybe that break in the wind will help firefighters gain the upper hand on all of the grass fires. What is really needed right now more then anything in Texas is a good soaking rain, but sadly nothing like that is in the short term forecast.
