WILDFIRES IN THE AREA...HERE WE GO AGAIN!

A wildfire has burned areas of land and destroyed 2 homes and one business in Wheeler, TX. Other fires were ongoing near Clovis, NM and near Tulia, TX.

Winds have been clocked at 63 mph in Potter county. Estimates of near 70 mph have been reported in other areas of the panhandle. Visibility of near zero has been reported along I-40 near Amarillo due to the blowing dust. The blowing dust caused a 10 car pileup along with some 18 wheelers in Amarillo near Hope road.. We are also in a dust storm warning here in the TX panhandle. It's been a while since I have seen that.
