Drought & wildfire crisis: state of emergency issued for 33 counties in Oklahoma

June 24, 2011OKLAHOMA CITY — Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb has declared a State of Emergency for 33 Oklahoma counties because of extreme or exceptional drought conditions and associated wildfires. Lamb issued the declaration Friday at the request of Gov. Mary Fallin, who is in Ireland this week attending her daughter’s wedding. The executive order marks the first step toward seeking federal assistance should it be necessary. The declaration may be amended to include additional counties as conditions warrant. The action comes as dozens of firefighters battle a blaze near Lawton that has destroyed 13 homes and scorched about 5,500 acres. According to the order, at least 10 fires have been reported in Oklahoma, leading to evacuations in some areas. The counties included in the order are located in western and southern Oklahoma. –The Republic

    Bless them. Praying for the firefighters going out in that. And of course everyone being affected. So many fires now in the US. North Carolina, Florida, Texas, Arizona. Whew it’s a lot.

    The USA is really beaten worst in the western world.
    Floods and fires all over the country.
    The question I have is: Are these desasters (partly) manmade? Refering to Youtube channel “Dutchsinse” there are rings occuring at the Nexrad Radar Stations just before severe rain or tornados happing around this area. As the Zetas say, man is not able to control the weather.
    -but something is happening there, right?
    Maybe its not bringing up he storm, but trying to control them by any means-what do you mean?

    Weather is strange all over the world, even here in germany it was a strange spring and now we have autoumn, just around solistice. Yesterday, I put on the stove, as well as I will do today…and tomorrow the temperatures are expect to climb to 29 C°C.
    To me ot seems, that all these strange weather phenomenons are because of the Earth is wobbling and tilting because of gravitational pull of the object (Nibiru,? Woomwood?, Elenin?Tyche?Apothis?…?)
    Are we able to cause Earthquakes and sent storms? …or aren´t we?

      Hi kathrin, the unusual weather are not actually phenomenons. The weather we are seeing is a direct result of thermoventalation from the earths core, parts of the core are heating up, this results in thermal vent activity in the ocean and the land masses. This results in a direct affect on our atmosphere and weather. More extreme weather with droughts, no outer body could do this, the gravity of such an object, would have to be some many times bigger than jupiter and be the same distance away and even then it would only affect the planet when on its closest the sun. .
