West Texas is SO dry. How dry is it? So dry small towns are being evacuated because they're at risk for
burning down.Wheeler County officials in the Texas Panhandle ordered evacuations Saturday of the north and west sides of Wheeler, the county seat.
That’s after a wildfire jumped the North Fork of the Red River and threatened the town.
Details on the fire are sketchy. However, county emergency management officials say they’re moving residents of the evacuation zones 50 miles to the east to Elk City, Okla.
Yikes. What's worse, your town burning down, or being evacuated to Oklahoma?!?
