Western Oklahoma was on fire yesterday

17 years ago

A wildfire in Oklahoma burned over 20,000 acres yesterday. We live 80 miles from there, and we had ash falling like crazy, yet not ONE news station from Oklahoma City sent a helicopter (or even a photojournalist) out to the fire to get video. *sigh*

Pray for rain!
