In a summer where brush fires have become a near-daily occurrence, firefighting officials said the multiple wildfires that raged across Central Texas on Sunday were the worst the region has seen all year.
Numerous wind-driven fires pushed fire departments to their limits and forced evacuations in Bastrop County, the Steiner Ranch subdivision, Pflugerville, Spicewood and other areas. Scores of residents were left wondering whether they had homes to return to as many of the fires continued to burn Sunday night.
The largest and most destructive fire was in Bastrop County, where a blaze burned 14,000 acres and grew to an estimated 16 miles long by the end of the day, said Mark Stanford, fire chief of the Texas Forest Service.
“It’s catastrophic,” Stanford said of the Bastrop County fire. “It’s a major natural disaster.”

That Means ‘Weather Manipulation’ For Those Of You Who Don’t Know…
The Texas Drought Is Directly Related To HAARP Activities And Has Been Orchestrated By The ‘New World Order’ Through The U.S. Military (TRAITOR SCUM)…

Of course it is……….. the only thing is, as people generally know and are hesitant to say “haarp did it” is that it leaves no traces directly visible. Although, there was word about after the japan quake, that satellite images indicated heating up of the region’s atmosphere before the quake. i am in texas myself, and have been for 20 years….. this weather pattern is NOT normal, and i would say with 99% confidence that this is haarp influenced, nothing else makes sense.

AND YOU SHALL BE FRIED, FLOODED AND FROZEN. AS I FORCAST IN FEBRUARY 2011.
THE WEATHER CHANNEL STARING HEATHER, APOCALYPSE EDITION
Heather returns from THE ROAD today, reporting with that 1,000 yard stare and
wodering mind as if she as seen Harvey. Lee shall flood the eastern seaboard
for a total of 10 days since inception. A total of 33 tornaodes to toudh down.
Just southeast of the coast lurks the soon to be CAT 4 Katia.
The million dollar question? Where will Katia strike? ANSWER; WASHINGTON DC.
Texas dared to defy Odumba the antichrist and has burst into flames. Water the
precious life givnig commodity will be bitter and scarce. The devils drink of black
gold (crude oil) created deep in the abyss drives worlds events towards WWIII
never ending and leading to the APOCALYPSE.
Comet Elinin announces the arrival of the light bareer as the Dark planet approaches
tunring earth upside down shaking loose the protective Magnetosphere before the
Sun delivers the deadly blast. Soon after Volcanoes roar as the crust of the earth
twists like an orange. Shaking man and beast into bewilderment and alerations

Dr. Fibbs of Harvard training be not deceived of the powers of the Heavens.
Even now the Vatican Controlled Telescope at the University of Phoenix searchs,

Be not deceived these floods of ten days most catastropic and count the whilrwinds
33 in all. Nuclear reactors to burst and burn as the fire fills the skies.
Soon. Very Soon.
