I just want to ask everyone to keep the folks in the panhandle in their thoughts. I'm currently in the field finishing up my research for my thesis and it looked like we would get evacuated. For now it seems to be ok, but the winds are supposed to shift after midnight so we will see. Not many people in this area, but this will devastate the ranchers in the area. Thousands of cattle have been killed already not to mention it looks like a desert in the burned areas. The sand has blown over the ash and it just looks like bareground for as far as you can see, horizon to horizon.
