event_narrativeLightning sparked four fires on the Padre Island National Seashore around 11 am, Nov 15th. Strong southerly winds and dry fuels resulted in extreme fire behavior during the afternoon hours of the 15th. A strong cold front complicated fire fighting efforts during the evening hours, when winds shifted to the north and gusted to between 50 and 60 mph. Light rain with the cold front helped with controlling the fires on the night of the 15th, however one fire remained uncontained and spread quickly south down the island on the 16th, due to the strong northerly winds behind the cold front. Eventually the fires were controlled by the morning of the 17th. A total of 10,259 acres were burned, however no structures were lost and fire officials were able to protect several oil and gas wells.
