The Texas Forest Service says wildfires that began more than two weeks ago in Bastrop County have been 95% contained.

Worth and Abilene have received from a half-inch to several inches of rain over the weekend timberland oslo, but that was not enough to lower the fire risk significantly. “It doesn’t erase the drought by any means.
