Another hour goes by and another half-dozen fires develop.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As of late Friday afternoon, the greatest concentration of wildfires was in east-central Oklahoma, Mr. Otto said, including near Oklahoma City. \u201cUnfortunately, these fires are spreading into areas where there are decent population centers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A strong storm driving <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/14\/weather\/texas-oklahoma-fire-weather.html\" title=\"\">gusty winds and dry air across a parched landscape<\/a> was fueling dangerous fire conditions across a wide swath of the country on Friday, from eastern New Mexico and Colorado to Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and even parts of the Midwest. Forecasters warned that more fire outbreaks appeared likely going into the weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The authorities were urging people to stay off the roads as clouds of thick, red dirt and even thicker clouds of billowing dust created minimal to at times zero visibility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mart\u00edn Gomez, 28, a truck driver, was forced to stop at a truck stop in Canyon, Texas, because of the danger, he said. \u201cMy family really doesn\u2019t want me to travel in this,\u201d he said, \u201cbut I have to make this delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Travis Cross, 49, said he and his family were making a trip from South Fork, Colo., to the Texas coast for spring break, but were also forced to stop once they came across overturned vehicles and broken billboards in the Panhandle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s been pretty good so far until we started coming straight south,\u201d Mr. Cross said. \u201cIt\u2019s been windy, and the car is bouncing around.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the region around Lubbock and Amarillo in Texas, Highway Patrol officials reported more than three dozen car crashes. Preliminary reports showed that at least three people had died in crashes in the Amarillo region, according to Sgt. Cindy Barkley with the Texas Department of Public Safety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Images on social media showed a dystopian view of the area. Emergency workers were battling a heavy dust storm as they went car by car looking for anyone trapped inside. A man taking one of the videos could be heard saying, \u201cYou want to go to Mars? This is Mars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Power outages were spreading as the fires burned. More than 124,000 customers were without power across northern Texas and parts of Oklahoma as of Friday afternoon, according to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/poweroutage.us\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">poweroutage.us.<\/a> The authorities warned that rolling blackouts were a possibility to avoid fires caused by downed power lines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Angela Morland, the owner of Cactus Inn &amp; RV Parking in McLean, Texas, a motel built in the 1950s, said in a phone interview that she had been ordered to evacuate with her guests on Friday afternoon. She was staying in the basement of a Methodist church about 20 miles away. Many people had gotten rooms at her motel to seek refuge from the highway winds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cGo east,\u201d Ms. Morland, 57, said she told her guests when she learned they had to leave.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Morland said she could smell the fire when she packed into her vehicle with her dog, a Rhodesian Ridgeback named Stella, and a stranger. She said about 50 other evacuees were staying with her in the church basement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI was frightened,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Gray County, about 60 miles east of Amarillo, two small communities, Alanreed and McLean, were advised to evacuate on Friday because of the threat of fire, said Dustin Miller, an emergency management spokesman for the city of Pampa, the county seat. He said that wind gusts in the area had reached 101 miles per hour, diminishing visibility and making travel treacherous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s dying down slowly, but not enough,\u201d Mr. Miller said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He said there were no injuries or property damage reported as of Friday afternoon in the county. But at least two semi-trucks had flipped over on Interstate 40.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Fast-spreading fires were not the only danger in some places. Strong gusts caused severe damage to the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.koco.com\/article\/damage-reported-new-cordell-power-shut-off-prevent-wildfire\/64188899?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Washita County Courthouse<\/a> in New Cordell, Okla., Friday afternoon, spreading debris around the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Officials had been anticipating the fierce storms. On Thursday, Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas directed the Division of Emergency Management to deploy all necessary resources to the affected areas ahead of the wildfires.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWith dry conditions, wind gusts and low humidity increasing wildfire danger, Texans are encouraged to make an emergency plan, limit any activities that can cause a spark, and heed the guidance of local officials to keep yourself and your family safe,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Much of North Texas remained under a red-flag warning Friday afternoon, which is issued when dry weather and gusty winds are likely to spread wildfires.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Panhandle, a sparsely populated area, is no stranger to fire disasters. A year ago, downed power lines ignited a wildfire <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/article\/texas-smokehouse-creek-fire.html\" title=\"\">known as the Smokehouse Creek fire<\/a>, which burned more than a million acres, consuming houses, scorching vast ranch lands and killing livestock.
