OMG! The area around my hometown in Oklahoma is ON FIRE!!! http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/03/06/Oklahoma.town.fire/ The fire started very near our family farm, but thankfully did not move over our land. It traveled about 10 miles north to my town of Taloga. It has moved west and north now and best i can tell it has burned for about 20-30 miles!

The wind is blowing terrifically, which of course makes it very difficult to contain. There are nothing but tiny little towns in the area with tiny little fire trucks with limited water capacity. I think they have almost got it contained, but it is really scary!!!
