We just got received a short term forcast from the NWS about a "large dust cloud" that's moving across eastern Oklahoma; it sure looks eery back towards Claremore! Anyone else seeing this?

Fire & Dust

My God, Southern Oklahoma has erupted in an Inferno. Bryan Co. Dispatcher's are Blowing Doors with Constant Tone Out's in Silo.

The Dust cloud blew through North Texs. Left an Erie fealing of the Battle of Armegeddon in the air. I have never seen this.

on 162.4750 NWS is Advising Motorists to MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF FIRE EQUIPMENT in Carter County. Seems Onlookers are preventing Fire Personal from reaching the Fire Events.

Is there a news website that talks about these right now? I can't find anything on the internet.

We had a small dust cloud near Glenpool towards Bixby/Jenks. I got some photos of it. Not sure how to post them on here. The sky was orangish with the dirt/dust. Kinda cool.
