Was Oklahoma the only State with fires yesterday? Thought I remember one in Texas, maybe.

Kansas had a bunch too. I ended up driving through one of them on I35 just east of Emporia.

I didn't get a picture of the scariest part where the flames were feet away from the car as we passed through. You can just see those flames on the right in the last picture. In the few seconds between that picture and getting to that spot the flames intensified drastically. The highway was closed right behind us.

My brother, who resides in Mannford area, evaced yesterday, but is home now and thankfully still has one to come back to. Although he did say it got close and some hotspots near his house are still burning, so watching for rekindle. Prayers for all those less fortunate.

Glad your brother and his home are safe

I attended annual storm spotter training this morning where one of the presentations was by the Tulsa County Emergency Management Office. They are assisting Mannford where the current count of affected structures is over 200. No information on any injuries but I hope the evacuation orders came early enough so injuries were avoided.
