Fire!!!


High wind and dry conditions have caused wildfires to break out this afternoon. Several are burning up around OK City, but closer to home is the one at Electra, Texas where our grandson Jack lives. I got a call about 5:30 p.m. from Patti, and Jack had called her. He was out hosing down his roof, after taking Sandy, the dog, and her sisters to Wichita Falls to safety. He called again to let us know that the wind had changed direction when the fire was 7 blocks from his house, so he is safe for now. I do not know yet how much damage has been done, but it has been a lot. The picture is from Dallas Fox channel 4

We are also under a tornado watch this evening, and the wind has been ferocious all afternoon. It has been one of those "brown sky" days, with blowing dust and sand. A day to stay inside unless going out is absolutely necessary.

Stay safe y'all
