| episode_narrative | Strong southwest to westerly winds accompanied the passage of a strong upper air storm system on the 3rd. The winds combined with very dry air and deepening drought to contribute toward at least three significant wildfires on the South Plains of west Texas.||A 100 acre fire broke out just southwest of Denver City (Yoakum County) around 14:30 CST. The fire threatened at least 80 homes and 150 residents were |evacuated. No structural damages were reported.||By 18:00 CST a second fire had ignited near Justiceburg (Garza County). This fire quickly jumped U.S. Highway 84 and threatened some 400 recreational vehicles and trailer homes near Lake Alan Henry. Firefighters were able to save the properties, but suffered minor damages to several fire trucks. The fire burned approximately 5,000 acres before it was finally contained during the morning hours of the 4th.||Around 19:00 CST a fire began near two abandoned homes north of Smyer (Hockley County). The homes were destroyed, but firefighters were able to contain the blaze at 15 acres.||During the overnight hours, a localized but intense wind gust was observed by the Texas Tech University West Texas Mesonet site near Post. The 68 mph gust recorded at 00:45 CST on the 5th resulted in no damage, and was likely enhanced as winds associated with a passing cold front interacted with local topographical features. ||Total economic losses due to wildfire on the 3rd were estimated at $325,000. |
