episode_narrativeThe passage of another vigorous surface trough and associated cold front maintained strong and gusty winds behind it, with frequent sustained winds above 30 mph and gusts at or above 40 mph in many locations for a while during the afternoon of March 3rd. Unfortunately, the gusty northwest winds and rapidly falling humidity contributed to the spread of several wild fires, particularly across the Lower and Middle Rio Grande Valley from Starr and Jim Hogg County west to Zapata County.
event_narrativeThe La Perla Fire developed rapidly and spread to 1011 acres on the La Perla Ranch, just 5 miles from the town of San Ygnacio. Mandatory evacuations were ordered for the town by Emergency Management officials. The evacuees went to the Zapata Community Center. Six homes were threatened; one outbuilding was destroyed. The evacuation order was lifted by the 4th as the winds subsided and the fire was contained. Responders included personnel from Zapata County and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
