Gator Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Think at this very moment there are about 8-10 fires burning across the state. Many houses have been lost, and families left with nothing. It's been on the TV since I got home. Winds gusting to 40-50mph. Some have been going since a little after 2pm. I have one about 5 miles north of me right now. The winds are supposed to turn and come out of the north later on. If it jumps the road, who knows what will happen. I put my guns and bows in a safe place so that if one does come this way, they won't be lost. Say a prayer if you would for the people affected by this, and the fire fighters out battling them, it's gonna be a LONG night for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kat Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 My uncle who is a fire chief in Woodward OK has been dispatched close to you to fight the fires. I know that our volunteer fire dept is fighting too cause Jenn said my pager was going off all day long! KEEP A CLOSE WATCH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Well dawn is breaking, and the new choppers are up. Looks like most of the fires are out/contained. I don't know what happened with the one north of me, hopefully they got it stopped at Slaughterville road, that's what I was worried about. I know one FF is severly injured yesterday. I know there are a significant amount of homes that have burned, I think I heard 100 or so. Cold front came in last night, brought the humidity up, so hopefully that will calm things down. Still supposed to have high winds though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
