Wildfires

More Grass Fires Flare in Oklahoma

I can attest to this. We saw innumerable grass fires and lots and lots of blackened acres. The kids didn't care for the smell, either... and it was pretty much a constant aroma once we were some distance south of Oklahoma City.

Mom says it's horribly dry and that it hasn't rained at all since March. This would be a really, really bad time to toss out your ciggy or light up a bottle-rocket. The whole place is a gigantic tinderbox.

It was too dark for pictures on the way down here, but I'll snap a few pix of the damage on the way back on Saturday morning.
