Fire Apocalypse

In the past two days SEVERAL fires have popped up in central Texas. 
No rain and and tons of wind is NOT helping the situation. 
I went to the Bastrop area today, where the biggest fire is, to take pictures. 
In all of the photos below there are NO clouds in the sky, only fire smoke.
