"Make up your mind. Decide to walk with me. Around the lake tonight."


Actual WFAA story and video link here. (Just a graphic above.)

Some have referred to a Stephens County fire and a Possum Kingdom fire but it looks like they are one and the same. (I think.) It has destroyed at least 30 homes. Fox 4 has helicopter up there this afternoon.  Amazing pictures. That fire is HUGE. Edit: It's two fires. Sheesh.




I've griped about the wind all Spring, but today is a doozy. The walls are rattling.  But I don't think we have any Wise County fires reported -- a nice change.

Edit: We've got a pretty big Boonesville fire at 1:15 p.m.  


Edit: Power lines down in Boyd.


Edit: Sheriff's Office just told me there was a guy who was burning leaves in Briar. 


Edit: Now with a report of people burning limbs on Hwy 51 south of FM 2123. Goofy, goofy people.


Edit: Bridgeport High School's gym roof severely damaged.


Edit: Fire north of Decatur reported around 4:30 p.m. 


Edit: Hide you wife, hide you kids . . . .
