Yikes, Kerrie -- I didn't realize she was close to that one. This is as of yesterday from the Texas Forest Service web site (I used to do communications for them, so I always read it when they have fires or respond to other situations):
WICHITA COUNTY COMPLEX, Wichita County. 11,785 acres, 90 percent contained. The complex is made up of three fires Iowa West, Holiday, Missile burning around Wichita Falls. Shepard Air Force Base was threatened, as were hundreds of homes and apartment complexes around the area. Twenty homes are reported destroyed.
At least it is 90% contained. Hope they get it completely out soon.
She was next to the Missile one. Her house, the one I grew up in, is off of Missile Road. She can still smell the smoke.
