CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — In a post on Facebook, the Rockport Public Safety Center confirmed that the thick smoke blowing in from the north was due to a controlled burn at the Brahman Ranch in Refugio county.
This is a prescribed, controlled burn as part of ranch maintenance. It's only the strong southbound winds today carrying smoke to the area.
There is not currently a time for when we can expect the smoke to dissipate.
