God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world.

ring that bell for critical future updates.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we're dealing with dozens of fires all over Oklahoma.
Much of Stillwater has burned to the ground overnight.
This is the wildest 24 hours of weather,
48 hours of weather I remember seeing.
We have the big Eagle fire up here
that's burned over 20,000 acres in 24 hours,
very dry in these areas.
They're under a red flag warning and a fire warning, and they're saying
that the lightning is starting all these fires.
This is just one of the crews trying to battle
one of the small fires. They're literally everywhere.
I'm going to show you a map of
The fires around Oklahoma, it's unbelievable,
the damage, the air quality, etc.
But this is giving you a very good start right here.
We've had thousands of acres burned here,
and there are fires just popping up out of nowhere, as you can see.
I have no idea what's going on here.
Looks like another man-made situation to me.
These guys don't understand how quickly those flames will spread,
especially in those areas that are so dry.
Very, very worrisome here.
And you can see it's everywhere.
I would not be worried about a field.
So obviously there's a lot of rural homes,
but large cities like Stillwater have
also been hit, as you will soon see.
And small fires are popping up everywhere.
It looks like the whole state is going to burn to me.
It truly does.
All right, some unbelievable footage.
All these homes are burned
to the ground coming out of Stillwater, Oklahoma.
And this goes on and on.
Look at all these homes that have burnt to the ground,
ladies and gentlemen.
Unbelievable.
And this drone footage continues to go on and on.
All these homes are complete loss, gone.
And this is a very...
Very populated area, but as you can see, very nice homes.
Imagine the one next to you completely going down
and you surviving without anything happening.
You can see all the burned acres as well.
This just gets worse here.
This is our news for Chopper.
It says they have 130 plus fires burning, 80 mile per hour winds.
All these homes are gone here on the river.
All of them. Everything is completely gone.
This is unbelievable. You can see these people
in disbelief as well. I haven't heard about any loss of life,
but this is a complete freak show.
All of these homes.
And then all of a sudden you have one that's not touched here. It must
have had a blue roof. We have some additional footage coming out
of the Manford, Oklahoma area
It looks like they've lost.
Hundreds of homes and maybe a church, see what this looks like.
Obviously, none of this looks
any good. It's almost a sandstorm combined with fire.
You saw what we reported about Texas's
sandstorm earlier.
Well, this even looks more horrific and even more the day after
a trip to hell and back is what we're looking at.
Let's hope we come back from this.
mjtrn keep Oklahoma in your thoughts
and prayers we're surrounded by wildfires over 130 wildfires
and 70 to 80 mile per hour winds you can see
that they're basically surrounded by wildfires
that's never a good place to be i
am currently sitting in a fire warning
and a red flag zone where i'm located here
and this is a very populated
And a very dry area, full of pine trees,
ready to go off with the smallest spark.
You can see hundreds of fires all around Oklahoma.
Nothing that we could have ever imagined.
Bridges burned, ranches on fire.
Obviously, there are evacuations
that have been forced in multiple areas.
This is North Texas and Oklahoma.
Well, you can see that.
They're trying to stop that fire,
but they're not getting a lot of progress.
There's another truck back there.
This is some really scary stuff.
Overnight, driving around Stillwater, it looked like you were in hell.
There's no other words that can describe this.
Unbelievable.
And some homes aren't even touched.
Unbelievable.
The deer flee flames as wildfire spreads to western Oklahoma.
This, again, is yesterday.
This is near Selman.
Unbelievable.
Crazy, crazy stuff.
This is nothing you can make up
or ever want to deal with within your lifetime.
This says 170,000 acres have burned across 44
counties, more than 130 fires currently burning.
A lot of it's been put out.
This is unbelievable.
More footage.
You can see that fire surrounding you.
You've got to make plans and get out of there, folks, big time.
Pretty much looks like Stillwater was devastated,
along with several other areas around the state.
Obviously, 130 separate fires.
And this all, well, was part of the sandstorm that turned into the...
Tornado outbreak, which is still ongoing,
with tornadoes on the ground currently in Mississippi and,
of course, Alabama and into Georgia.
Every direction you look, there's another fire.
This is so spread out and across the whole state.
It's even stranger than what happened in California.
This is the current fire map here,
and this is the Oklahoma area through here.
and see that we have both red flag warnings
and then fire warnings which are even worse
they work actually all the way down
into my area here with the red flag and fire
warnings right on top of me guys these uh pine trees
are like kindle if this place goes up
well there's a hundred
and eighty five thousand people that live in there around me it's gonna
turn into the hugest nightmare
that i have experienced personally just trying to evacuate
Taking a look at airnow.gov, I warned y'all,
the Central Plains, I said it several times,
not Oregon and Washington,
not as much California this year perhaps, more the Central Plains.
It looked like that was what was going to happen,
and that is exactly what we see happening here.
The air quality down here where I'm at looks extremely dangerous.
Deadly is the best word for it.
And all these fires are spewing PM 2.5, the deadliest particulate known
to mankind, the deadliest air pollutant.
It's like it's huddled around, well, the Great Lakes areas here.
It's definitely all the way from Oklahoma up to Lake Superior,
Lake Michigan.
And it looks like it's worked its way down to the Gulf Coast as well.
Everything that's red, yellow,
or orange is bad news as far as air quality.
It's tough out there, folks.
And 130 fires located here.
They are talking about fires still burning
in the Texas Panhandle as well.
God bless.
