My mistake. I thought these were for today, but they are for tomorrow. The NWS has already converted the Fire Weather Watch to a Red Flag Fire Warning and they have already added three additional counties: Murray, Carter and Love. Currently the Red Flag Fire is for 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday. I'll go check the Tulsa weather office and see if they have similar warnings going. If they do, I'll come back and add the info. I've linked the text below. Dawn Here is a link that might be useful: Red Flag Warning Text

Probably in August I will pay someone to push them into piles, or cut them into pieces and use my tractor to grapple them into piles for winter burning. The ground will not be dry enough to support large equipment for many weeks. Thirty were uprooted and the rest snapped off 2 to 20 feet high. These are all old native trees that we recently had thinned around and just got ready to manage this year. That's the way it goes. I don't feel to bad about it because before I got down there to see it I had been under the impression that the damage was widespread. I guess it all depends on how it compares to expectations. I admit to having tears in my eyes when I first found out. I have invested so much time and money into that place. The wood is almost worthless. Pecan in this area has almost no value. This might be one of the highest density pecan tree areas in the country.

Bumping this down.
