Deadly Fires

Firefighters had to go through wildfires and rescue workers dug through the damage left by tornados. These tornadoes were after a storm system. It was from Texas to Tennessee. There were about eight people killed. Dozens were injured and hundreds of homes and businesses were went into ashes. This is kind of sad. This is what someone said. One of the fires appears to have been purposely set. The Oklahoman newspaper reported that teenagers were spotted in the area. They were spotted before the fire. The fire destroyed 17 homes on Thursday.
Oklahoma's governor declared a state of emergency in 31 counties. This is where 62 people were injured and about 200 homes and business were destroyed by the fires. This is also where a tornado hit the eastern edge of the state. Three people were killed. 32 homes were destroyed in Texas. High winds fueled 49 major fires which burned 100,000 acres. A former television journalist and his wife were dead when their home was on fire. The fires devastated two small towns north of Dallas. High winds fueled the flames which raced across fields. That is what the station said. This was a trajedy and I feel bad for people that were in it.
