The dry and windy conditions have contributed to dangerous fire conditions in recent weeks. This morning, as Charles was officiating at a funeral here in McCamey, the very strong winds out of the southwest drove smoke from wildfires taking place a mere 20-25 miles away.
By evening, the haze had cast an orange glaze over the sun and there was a strong smoky-smell in the air. The local volunteer firemen have been out around the clock battling blazes from Ft. Davis to Odessa. Belinda said there was also fires near San Angelo yesterday, some 100 miles east of McCamey.
