A Massive Oklahoma brush fire
is near Stillwater, OK, jumping streets and approaching a cluster of mobile homes.

WTF. Add to that a tornado watch east of the fire.

Stay safe everyone. :grouphug:

3. The tornado watch is east of the fire, and any tornados will go W to E.

8. I'm surprised we haven't seen that in a disaster movie yet
It is horrifying to think about isn't it?

Tornado picks up burning stuff and flings it all over it's path. I wonder if the fire would go out from the speed of the wind?

9. Yep..
The smoke was everywhere. The winds seem to have died down. Hope they can get it under control now.
