    Some big ones around Amarillo. Towns of Barnhart, Borger, and Matador being evacuated. Other fires in OK and NM.

    Unconfirmed reports of firefighters being injured.

    Conditions are windy and extremely dry... 1% humidity is being reported in places.

    If you're out there, stay safe. Don't drive through smoke that's too thick to see in front of you. Remember, grass fires driven by wind can move unimaginably fast. Don't take the chance.

    Google Earth Map of current fires from Texas Forest Service can be found here: http://ticc.tamu.edu/Home/GECop.htm

    If you're on Twitter, follow @FireInfoGirl as she is listening to the radio reports out there and posting a lot of info and links.

    The Dust storm in Lubbock today was unreal.
