Fire at Franklin BBQ

[highlife4me]

I just read Franklin BBQ had a big fire early this morning.  Very sad news, at least nobody was hurt. Hopefully will rebuild bigger and better.http://kxan.com/2017/08/26/franklin-barbecue-is-on-fire/

Sad to hear, especially with everything happening in Texas right now.  Aaron Franklin doesn't seem to be a guy you can keep down very long.  He'll be up and running again in no time.

That's sad to hear. Glad no one got hurt. Everything else is replaceable

It was just the pit building. The restaurant is OK. They'll be back in no time flat.

Sad indeed. They said in 1 article that the wind was blowing had and blew embers from the pit and combustibles near by caught fire. So I guess this can be related to the hurricane.

Yes, it was related.  In Austin, they received over 80 mph winds overnight during landfall, starting it at 5:30 am Saturday morning.
