This isn’t going to get me to watch the news if I can help it.

I think pretty much all over the United States we were told to be prepared for a windy day. The news also cautioned us all about fire danger. So my apartment manager sent out a text warning the residents to keep an eye out for evacuation orders. So far, there IS a fire in my city, but my neighborhood is not under evacuation orders yet. I’d just go over to my dad’s house. He and his wife just pulled into their driveway when I called to tell him to text me if I needed to leave my apartment. He’s further away from the fire than I am. I have no intentions of watching the news all night and worrying, so I have him peek in on the news every once in awhile to let me know.

@AmbiePam We are usually under a burn ban from March to just before Memorial Day. I do not know of any fires near by but the wind is stupendous.

Worrying will not help. Being prepared and having a plan does. Keep that level head of yours. Maybe, if you do not have one, you should create a "go" bag (says the person who does not have one.)

Oh, I’m not in danger of worrying now. All my dad has to say is, it’s not going to get you, and weirdly, I believe him. Same with tornadoes. All I care about saving is my medication, and that’s easy to grab since I keep it all in one place. Heaven knows everything is easy to replace except the darn medication.

What city? I've been out of touch with the 'real world' for the past few days. Stay safe!

It’s moved on to a neighboring city now, but I live in Norman, Oklahoma. With horrendous winds and dry conditions it was just a matter of time. Three different areas were evacuated, but they got my area under control. One couple I know did lose their house though, and I feel absolutely sick for them.

I hope that they got the fire out and that you didn’t have to evacuate.

We've been getting the high winds and storms here today. Hopefully you didn't get the storms. I was afraid we'd lose another window to the hail that woke me up a little while ago. The high winds don't worry me except for the risk of fire and, after the storms started going through this morning, everything is too wet to worry about fire now.
Good luck in your city!

@AmbiePam I heard the hail bouncing off the storm windows in my room. One of the storm windows shattered last year when we got golf ball sized hail and the window was never replaced. I just have the screen over the glass window there. So far, the screen has bounced the hail off without it reaching the glass window. I was surprised the storm window broke since they aren't made of glass.
