Massive wildfire event unfolding behind the dry line. Smoke is very heavy in the Denison area as it blows in from the west.

All told, dozens of fires burning, many out of control in North Texas and southern and central Oklahoma.

Huge fires burning in Montague County, Texas near Sunset and St. Jo (which was being evacuated). In Oklahoma, a chemical plant reportedly caught fire and may have exploded near Healdton, Okla. The Fox (Okla.) First Baptist Church is reported to have burned along with the Fox Volunteer Fire Department. Numerous homes and outbuildings are damaged on both sides of the Red River.

Local met on KXII-TV reported a wind gust to 50 in Marietta, Okla. and a wind gust to 46 at the television station.
