I know we had a fire in the fireplace and another one outside in the chimera last night.  I would imagine a lot of people were doing the same. 4951

It was HEAVY last night -- drove through it hanging like a blanket up Ford Road and then over the 59/1314 area.  Funny smell ....not just burned leaves. 4951

I noticed when I went for a walk yesterday they are starting on a new section of my neighborhood. They clear cut everything (which appears to be the trend these days) and had a pile of wood burning. It could be from that, or the new neighborhood going in off Ford Rd might be doing the same thing. 4951

Back here off of Hueni Rd. They just started clearing out the woods behind my house. They are burning the trees they have cut. 4951

I despise when they do that. All trees should be either saved or mulched for community parks and projects.

My very first real job when I was14 was building a 3 mile educational nature trail for one of our elementary schools.
We were taught if a tree must be sacrificed, it must be reused. We would cut benches and chairs from trunks and put the rest in the chipper. The chips would be used for the trail. Every rock cleared would go for edging the trail to keep the chips in.
I also don't understand why everything must be plowed down and burnt.
Back in the day it was sold to lumber companies.
When they gutted Northpark and 494, we lived in an apartment. Every day the cars were covered in ash, it irritated my asthma and stunk to high heaven. Sad
.
I will say I ran to Randle's over in the woodlands off 242 and many of those shops are behind the trees like kingwood used to be. Although nice, very hard to see. I don't see myself going 50 and hitting the brakes to get into a shop or restaurant.
People were driving really aggressive 4951

@sh56: What is different is that it is cheaper for the developers to just bulldoze everything, cover it in gas, and light a match.  When Kingwood was first being developed, the concept was to bulldoze streets and the sections of lots where the foundation was poured, but leave the rest.  As it evolved, they gave up that approach by the early 90's and just started bulldozing everything since it was cheaper for the developers.  Houston smog laws should not allow them to burn it all though.  The whole way on 59 coming in this morning to the north loop was smoky.  It still is by the galleria now looking out my window.

@beadweaver: technically the ash is a good source of lime and potassium for the land, so it is "going back to the land"

@BooBear:
it was an inch thick on our cars daily. Ash is not good for the car's clear coat and paint. Let's not talk about what it's doing to the air filter and engine.
The builder could mulch and use in landscaping.
