History o/t oklahoma is burning ,cars are toast

Stay safe, guys! I can't begin to imagine that kind of destruction.

 

I nearly lost everything in 2007 - firefighters stopped a 45ft high wall of flame 20ft from my barn.

Your life is the most valuable thing you have - it is not replaceable. Prayers and thoughts are with you. Stay safe and get out when told to evacuate. Keep us posted when you can.

 

Stay Safe...

 

To all in N. Texas and OK,
God be with you and your families, friends and relatives during this time of trouble and horror. We pray for your deliverance and safety.

 

you can build another house,car or and life but you and family are whats important now,,,,http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-wildfires10-2009apr10,0,6891809.story

Wow guy's, I hope you all get through this okay.

 

We have had the fires in SoCal very close and the most important thing is you life and the lives of your loved ones. When they say evacuate, do it. If you are close to the fires start packing the items you want to take with you in your vehicles now so you can go at a moments notice. Sometimes that all you get. Stay Safe

 

Praying for you guys. Be safe. Fire can get ahead of you in a heartbeat.

 

Sorry to hear this guys hope everyone pulls through unhurt.

 

made it through the night.still a few fires burning.some weren't so lucky but no deaths reported so far. many many people lost all last night.

 

Damn, this is terrible. Hope everyone is ok. Sorry from your neighbors to the north. Lippy

 

Pretty bad down here in Southern Oklahoma also. Two of the guys at my work place lost there homes last night, One is not sure about his cars, they are still not allowed in the area. Everyone take care I would take a rainout at the drag strip just so these fires could be prevented.

See you at the Drags.....Rob

HotRod Linkin and everyone else down there we are praying for you all.. stay safe...

 

Hot Rod Linkin, if you need anything, let us know. I heard this morning on the way in that folks were cutting their grass short and it didn't matter. The stockade fences would catch and the embers blow up into the shingles and then the house is gone in minutes.

I've never been through such a thing and my prayers are with those that have.

 

Keeping you all in our prayers.

 

News last night said that in Montague county (TX) there were 25,000 acres burned and in one small town there was only one single building left.
Also burend several oil storage tanks.

Mostly Volunteer Fire Depts. in these areas as they are mostly smaller towns. Not bagging on Volunteer FD's as I was a Volunteer Fireman for about 10 years, but most times these departments are not equipped nor do they have enough members to handle anything near this magnitude.

I am about a 100 miles SE of the fires in Plano and you could see and smell the smoke all afternoon and evening.

My prayers go out to out to all those folks who are devistated by this disaster.

 

this is horrible..and with those High winds just makes things that much worse..

I hope all you out there stay safe...

with all the Cali. Fires last year and this comming on so early in the season..makes me wonder what this years going to be like

I dont know the area good enough to know where this is going on..can anyone tell me if Garland Texas is in any possible danger?

 

You are all in my prayers. Be safe... please.

 

Rigg Fink,

Garland is fine. It is about 75 miles from fire lines.

 

All the best to one and all.
Howard

 

thanks hkestes..I got in touch with the ones i was concerned about..so far there ok...

keeping my prayers still on for those who may not be as fortunate..

 

I could see and smell the smoke in my shop in downtown Dallas, so it had to have been one hell of a fire going on out west.

Hope everybody made it through safely.

 

Our prayers go out to all.

 

I hope this is nothing like Victoria suffered earlier this year, guys please keep us posted that you are all Ok!
