episode_narrativeStrong sustained winds and wind gusts, in association with Tropical Storm Lee which made landfall across the south central and southeast Louisiana gulf coast, were felt across all of Northeast Texas on September 4th. These winds, along with very low humidity values and exceptional drought conditions across Northeast Texas, resulted in critical wildfire threat being met across the region. A wildfire, known as the Old Magnolia Complex, began in Gregg County on September 4th and was not completely contained until September 17th. The fire burned 4,909 acres with numerous agencies called in to battle the wildfire. Evacuation orders were made with the American Red Cross setting up shelters for the evacuees in Jefferson, Texas. Three vehicles were burned as well as one business. Two helicopters were called in to make water bucket drops and four Single Engine Air Tankers (SEAT's) made several retardant drops.
