Storm moving in here as well. Tornado watches just north of us. Rain and hail moving in here. I'd gladly send every bit of the rain down to TX right now.

If so, then this will top any case we've ever tracked on WS. Burning down an entire town to CYA.

Nope - I promised myself I wouldn't go there. No more posts for me until I can calm down

MOO

There are wild fires all over West Texas right now...not just in Mitchell County.

I hope all locals are safe and evacuated. Redcat comes to mind too. IIRC, I think she is from that area? Tehcloser, I hope you are a very safe distance. Glad to hear you are ok hollyblue.

raying: for the winds and fires to stop.

I'm in East Texas, I'm fine. TY.

We may be under the gun later tonight. Tornados being one of the threats.

I'm in southeastern NM and it has been very, very windy and dry here. Currently, there are 4 grass fires burning in the area. Two of them very close to me, but according to the newscast I just watched one is 70% contained and the other is 90%.

It's the season for fires all around this area. Just coming early this year because of the dry weather.

Just saw Clint on the live video link. He looked good all cleaned up and shaved.
He was wearing a hopeforhailey.org tshirt, but I just checked and the website is still not working

Just so incredible for this to happen right now! I hope that this city gets all the help it needs...It has already suffered so much!

PK must be having kittens by now.

Sunday, 10:05 p.m. Update:
Evacuations have been called off as fire crews get a better handle on the blaze. Pete Kampfer tells bigcountryhomepage.com things now appear to be better under control.
Interstate 20 is now reopened.

The Texas Forest Service estimates 5,000 acres were torched. It's unclear exactly how many structures burned.
