Wasn’t this board mocking the state of emergency earlier?

Also, I thought I saw where this evacuation was voluntary.

Did they switch it to mandatory because an hour or so ago it was voluntary?

Sounds like a fictional town setting in a Hallmark Christmas movie

The Bible told us this would happen

This is a morally bankrupt country and world at the moment

Prepare for things to get much worse and I’d get to know the good Lord if you haven’t already

My grandfather grew up out there. They had a small farm east of town I think. The house is long gone but I would bet that land is close to the fire.

THANKS for the head's up!

Notified my Deaf friends in Merryville.

That tiny place was excited to get a Dollar General. Had a larger population in 1920 than 2020.

Very little fire in timber management these days, which helps prevent wildfires. Why you might ask? Attorneys is why.

Merryville. It would be best if that town ceased to exist. Talk about a lot trashy people and leadership. I’ve seen networking of their animal shelter, the place isn’t really one and won’t even feed them. A few good people do and beg across the state for help getting them out.

Imagine something like this breaking out near a big city. Our cities have lots of trees and very flammable old houses.
