    More fires

    Was on the golf course in Pecan Plantation earlier when all our fire trucks went screaming to the back gate. Big smoke cloud to the west. Just got a phone alert mandatory evacuation for Lipan. Praying for those folks and for RAIN!

    There's a couple southwest of Wichita falls towards holiday. They had to evacuate my granny's house earlier.

      It’s bad in bluff dale and lipan. Fire in lipan should be close to containment but the bluff dale fire is moving towards lipan. Hwy 377 at bluff dale is closed

        Sure has me thinking I need to carry an extinguisher in my trucks.

        If anyone has a solid recommendation throw it out to me.

            My Sister in-law lives there and i think the fires like .5 miles from their house. I think they currently have a favoring wind but they have left just in case.

              My granny's house is on the north side of 277/82, right off crown lane. Last we heard it's headed right for their house, that rain for tomorrow needs to hurry up.

                2011 I carried a bucket of wet towels in my truck bed.

                Last night driving west of Abilene on I20 I saw a guy flick his cigarette butt out the window. I cried inside because it wasnt their first nor last time to do so.

                I hope TXDOT considers flashing cigarrette and fire warnings on their signs.

                    It’s been a steady stream of horse trailers to the big place across the street from us for the last hour and we’ve been watching it all afternoon. If anybody needs a place we have room for a few horses (or whatever) in brock if anybody has the need.

                        My weather app shows 100% chance for us. Wish they wouldn’t do that but sure praying it’s true.

                          Nope, just hoping for a miracle now I guess. Hope your sister in law makes it out unharmed. We just lost my papa yesterday, I'm not sure how much bad news my granny can take.

                            We left my sister and brother in law's house at Bluff Dale this morning. Got home and she's sending me pictures of the back porch of smoke not far from the house. Sucks to see.
