I am so sad I have some land in Tahitian Village and was going to build a house in 4 years. Meet some real sweet pepole there and it was a beautiful neighborhood. The whole town was beautiful. Prayers are with you all..

@inwinblades All of Tahitian Village subdivision has been under amandatoryy evac notice. All the smart folks have left as the fire has jumped from the north side of Hwy 71 to the south. (The brand new Walgreens built on Hwy 71 near the Tahitian entrance is gone to ash...)

@fly049 I think it was all between 7pm and 9pm, somewhere around there.

I helped out at the fire donation center for this.

@inwinblades My parents house is on Kahalulu Dr. From what I heard from a source... It was said that a 1-3 homes were left on that street... there has been alot of rumors so I can't confirm that. Sure hope we can go see it soon!

@tarara666 It's Texas, hot weather isn't uncommon here. Hot weather isn't what causes the fires though.This year we've had the worst drought(in Texas history) ever, so everything is very very dry/dead, which is a perfect breeding ground for fire if somebody were to accidentally flick a cigarette onto the ground or simply cause a small spark that hits the ground.

What time of day was this filmed?

[@twigagawizard]

@thikalicious69 yeah and it was so hazy it hurt my eyes :\ the moon looked all orange and red
