    I kept thinking it was moving in here this morning but it passed us and went south. We've got a birch and another tree that have been shedding leaves for a couple of weeks now. Not a good sign.

    Looks like you might get some relief with some rain today and/or tomorrow.

    That's the one in Luther, isn't it Matt? I heard on the news that a black pickup was seen with the driver throwing a flaming newspaper out the window. Guess they haven't caught that person yet.

    You mentioned your inlaws possibly being in the path of one of the fires. Everything ok with them?

    Looks like most of Glencoe's homes and businesses survived. A lot of city land burned. No details on Drumright yet. We actually got a few 10ths of rain last night. It's been a while!

    Matt, and all in danger from fires. If you need a place to hole up for a while you are welcome here. Plenty of room for a few days while you get your stuff together. I'm a way's away in central missouri but if you need it were here for you.

    There is a nasty circle of fires in the Hallet, Jennings, maremac, Cleveland, burbank are..and it's just getting worse.
    Winds are coming up and still no rain...not good. Stay safe Cimarron. Patriot Lady and I will be thinking about you and those you're trying to help.
