Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 19 Root Admin Posted February 19 Have you seen the videos and pics of the fires in Oklahoma? Crazy... I know when I'm hunting out in SW Kansas in those CRP fields with big, dry, thick grass, I'm thinking if this ever caught fire it'd be one hot and fast fire. It's really gusting hard here today. I'm thinking about going out and using the wind to fish a scud across the shallow flats where this wind and waves should be pushing those bugs around... just like someone kicking!! dpitt, Flysmallie and WestCentralFisher 3
ness Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Yeah, we're kinda used to forest fires in places like CA, CO, etc. Don't really think about grassland fires being so devastating. Every once in a while you'll hear about some cattle getting burned up, but I don't remember hearing of this scale of destruction. John

Please do, love to hear about the outcome
fishinwrench Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Daughter is currently trying to get a boiler shipped out of Collinsville, Ok. And the pickup has been delayed because of wind & debris. Too windy to get the thing loaded on a truck. ness and snagged in outlet 3 2

Terrierman Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Yeah, it's windy. But maybe 7 years ago I drove across Western Oklahoma, the Texas Panhandle and about 150 miles of New Mexico dead into a headwind that varied from 50 to 70 MPH. Tumbleweeds were a real hazard in places. Stopped for fuel in Amarillo, got out and lost every map and piece of directions to the hunting lodge in less than three seconds to that wind. grizwilson and Quillback 2
