Panhandle Fires

[Treeshark]

There are numerous bad fires currently in the Panhandle. I understand Canadian may be pending evacuation as at this time. Check on your folks and pray for a break in the wind/weather!

Prayers up!
I spent several years building transmission lines in the Texas Panhandle.
By far the nicest people in the state you will ever meet in my experience.
And I’ve worked everywhere in Texas.

Sad stuff! I remember watching video of the Pampa fire years ago. Man that sucker was moving fast! Prayers sent to those folks.

Wow! That is crazy. At this time, do they have any idea what started them?

Supposedly the Comanche started it to cut off the New Mexico expedition

I have a welder that has been building fence for me north of childress, he told me he could not work until maybe Thursday because the fear of starting a fire

[Treeshark]

Now they are suggesting that Pampa evacuate. This is a very bad situation!
