> Oklahoma City.
We had one here in Mustang, OK (near Oklahoma City). It burned about
25 acres, destroyed 6 homes and many storage/out buildings. I don't know how many homes were damaged. There were 3 minor injuries. We were lucky and only had a little siding damaged. I did lose a 8x16 storage building that was full of stuff and a 10 feet cab over camper. My truck also has an unknown amount of wiring damage.I was at work, but the wife got the sprinkler set up in the front yard and loaded up the dogs. They ended up spending over 4 hours in the car. It was moving very fast. We had fire equipment from 8 different cities fighting the fire. We had at least 6 engines in an 8 square block area and they still could not stop it from jumping the street.
