Praying for rain. Those fires are devastating.

Just talked to my sis in OKC. No fires near them. She says there are firefighters in from all over. She says there are at least 3 different fires and so far they don't know the cause.

We've have had those awful wild fires all over Texas this year. I pray you will be safe and pray for rain.

Bless your heart. Praying for your safety... and for rain.

I know they are included, but please pray for the firemen too. My brother is a firefighter in OKC and I know they are under tremendous pressure.

Leota I know how you feel. I live about 10 miles or more from those fires and when I step outside I can smell the smoke really bad. About 3 weeks ago we had a bad wildfire north of Edmond, this one came within 2 miles of my home. It can be very scary too... My thoughts and prayers are with you and everyone affected by these fires. Stay safe

I will be praying for all of you who live out there & all the ones who are fighting this fire!
That has got to be one scary situation.
Hugs to you all.
