Nearing downtown OKC.
900 volunteer fire departments throughout the general area.
Still manpower is in short supply. Volunteers from other states are helping.
30-35 mph gusts of wind. Warm temps (mid 60's) for this time of year.
Yes, and apparently the moderators feel this isnt "breaking news" enough to be in breaking news. I guess the FreepAThon is more important.
No it isn't, according to the reporters covering it. The fire is 5 miles northeast of downtown, and the wind is from the west.
OMG - friends of mine from the Gulf Coast in Mississippi moved in with relatives in Ok City because they lost their home. Have not heard from them in a while. I can't imagine how they must be feeling with another disaster upon them. Prayers for everyone in the states of Oklahoma and Texas.
