Wind blowing. Not good. It is a scary situation right now.

Do they have it under control yet? Hang in there Pappy, we can't lose one of our best fans.

I heard a second-hand report this morning that they had it controlled. Hope so. My daughter and nephew, who live about a mile west of where the fire was, said they could see the flames. If it had traveled very far north it would have gotten into the national forest up on Mt. Magazine, so it could have been big trouble.

Glad to hear that.

Here is one report:
12 homes evacuated. All still standing. Over 70 acres burned(by TV report. I think it may actually be more). Fire was contained overnight but they were still watching hot spots. They think it may have started by some kids using their 4th of July sparklers.

Report now that it burned 300 acres.

Glad your ok.
