My family in Woodward is good, they were evacuating the other day.

Unfortunately the winds aren’t dying down soon.

The "8-Ball Fire" sounds like a hoot.

Funny you mention that, I’m in Tulsa and during tornado season once the storm passes us it either goes towards Siloam Springs or Joplin. Like a game of hot potato.

What causes this? Some fricking idiot throwing out his cigarette or someone doing a burn pile in the backyard? Sure it’s dry… but someone has to start the fire? Crazy
