Jim, are you near Bastrop?
I'm in Austin about 30 or 40 miles (?) east of Bastrop.

heh make that west. I can't tell anymore with all the smoke.

I was curious because of BOP retirees listed in or near Bastrop.

I suppose FCI Bastrop survived...

I think most of the damage was east of Bastrop proper but could be
wrong. This is dated 9/5 so I don't know if it is still accurate.

That county complex might be what you are referring to?
