Skunkmaster-k Posted February 27, 2024 Posted February 27, 2024 We’ve got some bad fires going right now . I heard on the radio to evacuate, then they came back on and said the roads are all closed and to hunker in place. I’m a little worried about my family members that are right in the path of this thing. 6 Quote

Skunkmaster-k Posted February 28, 2024 Author Posted February 28, 2024 My son is good. They opened the highway and he made it home last night. His friend’s house caught fire though and we’re going to see what we can do to help out. 1 hour ago, thediscochef said: I've got family in Panhandle, and Amarillo. Been keeping a close eye on it.

Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted February 28, 2024 Global Moderator Posted February 28, 2024 The wind finally just died, crazy storm for about an hour but we got downpours so hopefully nothing is burning. My buddy’s moms transformer blew up praying for anyone that lost their homes or worse 1 Quote

My buddy’s moms transformer blew up praying for anyone that lost their homes or worse Thank you for the prayers Russell. We need them. I just talked to the owner of the bait shop in Fritch and he said 150 homes have been damaged or burnt to the ground. I don’t know about injuries or deaths. Quote
KP Duty Posted February 29, 2024 Posted February 29, 2024 Saw on the news this a.m. that there are fires in western Oklahoma as well. Houses burnt and livestock dead. The livestock deal really upsets me. 1 Quote
