> 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.
