Steve J Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 1,600 homes were destroyed in that one fire near Bastrop, the worst in the State's history. Many more fires were burning at the same time elsewhere. Many lost their homes and their livelihood, all due to someone's carelessness or negligence.

lmccrock Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) 1,600 homes were destroyed in that one fire near Bastrop, the worst in the State's history. Many more fires were burning at the same time elsewhere. Many lost their homes and their livelihood, all due to someone's carelessness or negligence. Mickster was closer to the big one, much closer than us. Our cars are still packed. On Labor Day, I was down to one escape route because of fires all around. If it were just the Bastrop fire, I would unpack. But there have been little fires pretty much every day, 100 acres here, 200 there, a front yard down the road. Nothing within a mile of the house, but that is nothing out here. I just ordered some Tripp magazines; was meaning to, now is a good time. ETA to meet forum guidelines: I hate wildfires.

gohuskers Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Sad news. If you're thinking about ordering some Tripp magazines, like others have said, now is a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry White Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Virgil and Shari lived in Alpine Tx for a number of years and just moved to Bastrop this summer to be closer to family. They lost the house and thier personal possions The stuff can be replaced and they still have the memories. Knowing the Tripps I expect they will step over the ashes and go on. Strong folks.----------Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attila Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I spoke on the phone with someone from Tripp this morning. I had placed an order before the fire and was wondering when they might start shipping again. I wasn't trying to rush anything, I just wanted to know for planning purposes. I understand that their issues right now are much more severe. What I found out is they are doing everything possible to get running again. From what I hear, they are going to bust their butts to take care of their customers. They are a class act. If you were going to order from them, do so. I would be confident they will take care of you quickly, despite the fires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I've only ever heard good things about Tripp, and his workmanship. I cant imagine how much they have to do to get back up to speed now, but I'm sure they'll do whatever it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
