And last report on that fire, they're saying it could go another week, two weeks before they get it put out.
00:08
And it's now blowing back towards the west now towards Possum Kingdom Lake.
00:18
They're saying it's winter, Washington State, Idaho, and.
00:28
What is the other one? Washington,
00:31
Idaho, and what's the other state right there?
00:45
Okay, that's in the northwest corner.
00:47
You got Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.
00:54
They take Montana out, all of them three states.
00:59
It's going to be warmer and dryer than normal for the winter.
01:04
They're saying that up around Michigan and around in that area,
01:10
the states right there, it's going to be on and off.
01:15
You're going to have one week might be real cold and snowy, next week might be warm.
01:22
Going to be.
01:23
It's going to be off and on, like a light switch.
01:27
Off and on, off and on.
01:30
One week it might be cold, real cold, and snowing.
01:34
Next week might be warm and dry.
01:46
Copy that. Yeah, I'm looking at the statistics right now.
01:50
There's an app called Watch Duty, and I've got that open in that lost fire.
01:56
State fire is contained 9400 acres, and it's 38% containment right now.
02:04
Yeah, and I've got the perimeter on it and everything.
02:07
I'm just looking here.
02:08
Man, that thing was really blown.
02:10
And I'd like to say it's working west over the park.
02:12
I've seen the lake, but it's really late north here.
02:16
It's all the way up.
02:17
It's going to be warmer than normal for the winter time.
02:22
And then they said all the way up against along the Atlantic Ocean, all those states up in there, there are going to be a lot of storms training through there for this winter.
02:37
They've been able to stop it at the US 380.
02:42
They've kept it from crossing 380 just east of Blossom.
02:47
I noticed that the other day, so they're doing good at containing it there.
02:51
They're keeping it from jumping the highway.
02:54
But it looks like it's burned just down near right into the town of Graford.
03:02
And yeah, as far as going.
03:06
To the west, looks like, yeah, it's just, it's really, really assumed that there's, you know, lots of rain to come up there.
03:21
There's no rain in the forecast for all of September, just about.
03:34
Copy that. Yeah, that's that fire is almost as big as the one up here in Colorado.
03:41
They had the Aspen fire.
03:42
It's called the Aspen Acres fire.
03:44
It was just west of Pueblo, Colorado City, west all the way up to Colorado.
03:52
It's a little bit of detail.
03:53
And it's so far, it's still burning.
03:56
It's burned 102, 000 acres, and it's 82% contained.
04:01
So, but that.
04:03
Yeah, it's been going.
04:05
It's been going for a good while.
04:07
I forgot when that was started.
04:09
The Aspen fire.
04:11
That's the acre star.
04:13
But right
04:16
now there's 153 personnel fighting it according to the app if it's correct.
04:23
But yeah, it's assumed.
04:26
And yeah, hopefully that don't get into the town of Mineral Wells.
04:30
Let's see here.
04:31
Let me look at that fire.
04:33
I want to look at that map over here.
04:34
Let me take a look here.
