Yes, it is very serious out here. I ask for PRAYERS for the firefighters, support personnel and everyone that has lost property in the 2 fires that continue.
I really can't add much more to this post but it's rough up here and it sounds like it's going to get rougher.

Oh man, that sucks. I hope he got away safely.
Here is a pic of the edge of the smoke plume in Ponca. Well over 100 miles away.
Edit:
Pic won’t post. I have the pic also posted in the random photo thread.
It’s really bad, was helping a family friend move some of his cattle out of the path of the fire earlier today east of Leedey and it was insane how quickly that fire was moving. You almost couldn’t outrun it.
Marty Logan of Channel 9 almost got caught in it. He had video on Facebook trying to save some cows. I hope they got through the fence.

Local weather showed 3 or 4 in OK that was visible via satellite.
That was CRAZY how fast that fire moved.
Lots of eastern red cedars getting eliminated. Shame there has to be loss of property and life though. Devastating for some ranchers and farmers with the ongoing drought.
