Title: Stillwater, Oklahoma or area.
Post by: oakranger on March 06, 2017, 09:30:02 PM

Anybody in the are?   I am getting lot of smoke in the air right now near Wichita, Ks.  There is a orange/red haze around the moon and a light dim color in the sky all from the large wild-grass fire south of us.

I saw from a post on FB that there was an evacuation being considered or conducted in Stockton KS yesterday afternoon / last night.

On another gun forum, a friend near that area said a controlled burn was going on....In 40 MPH winds no less.
Aaaaand, it's outta control. Duh.

You can do a burn in 40 mph if you know what you are doing.....but highly recommend not to with the current conditions.   What were they thinking?
