It was time to get out. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As Ms. Wyrick rushed to her Chevy Tahoe, and Mr. Wyrick to his pickup truck, they noticed that a neighboring family of five did not have a working vehicle. They, too, scrambled into the truck, along with several dogs. In the chaos, there was no time to salvage any personal belongings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Saturday, talking at an emergency shelter in Stillwater, Okla., Mr. Wyrick, a 70-year old retired mechanic, said their home and entire neighborhood had likely been destroyed by the fire, alongside many of his prized possessions: a pontoon boat, three trailers and a tractor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt got everything,\u201d his wife said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">From the Texas Panhandle to the suburbs of Oklahoma City, residents braced on Saturday to assess the damage after wildfires and smoke forced many to evacuate.<\/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\">In Oklahoma, nearly 300 homes and other structures were destroyed, Gov. Kevin Stitt said at a news conference on Saturday. At least 50 of those structures were in Stillwater, home to about 50,000 people and Oklahoma State University.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Videos on social media showed houses consumed by flames. He described visiting neighborhoods where just a few homes had been spared, while the rest were little more than rubble.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mark Goeller, director of Oklahoma Forestry Services, called the disaster \u201chistoric.\u201d In 40 years with the agency, he said, he had \u201cnever seen anything as bad as what we saw yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The fires were fueled by low humidity, dry vegetation and hurricane-force winds, creating dystopian landscapes of orange skies, downed utility lines and homes reduced to piles of sticks \u2014 an eerie echo of scenes from Los Angeles just two months ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt was a perfect storm\u201d said Mr. Stitt, who declared a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sos.ok.gov\/documents\/Executive\/2140.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">state of emergency<\/a> for 12 counties on Saturday.<\/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\">He reported only a single death related to the fires, from a car accident. An additional four vehicle-related deaths had been reported in Texas on Friday. And in Kansas, officials said eight people were killed in a pileup crash involving <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo?fbid=1175245707296840&amp;set=pcb.1175245733963504\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">more than 70 vehicles<\/a> after a dust storm swept over an interstate on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Stitt said that his own family had lost a farmhouse, near the town of Luther, Okla.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The turbulent weather was part of a massive cross-country storm system that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/11\/weather\/la-san-francisco-rain-snow-forecast-california.html\" title=\"\">slammed into California<\/a> earlier in the week, unleashing rain, snow and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/13\/weather\/los-angeles-tornado-california-storm.html\" title=\"\">a tornado in Los Angeles<\/a>. It then drove <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>, fueling the dangerous fire conditions in states including Texas, Kansas and Missouri and unleashing several reported <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/14\/weather\/weather-tornado-warning-south.html\" title=\"\">tornadoes across the Midwest and South<\/a> that killed at least 14 people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Firefighting crews were scrambling to keep up with blazes popping up across Oklahoma. They had been hampered on Friday by poor conditions that grounded aerial firefighting tools, including the \u201csuper scooper\u201d planes that can drop thousands of gallons of water onto a blaze. More than 150 wildfires were burning in the early morning hours of Saturday in Oklahoma alone, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Officials on Saturday said it was unclear what started the fires, though Mr. Stitt said that downed power lines and controlled burns could have played a role in some. About 170,000 acres had burned in the state, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Keith Merckx, a spokesman for the Oklahoma Forestry Services, said it may take days to assess the damage.<\/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\">Two retired sisters, Sharon Riley and Dina Shellhammer, fled their Stillwater home Friday after watching the flames approach. On Saturday morning, they were not sure if the house still stood but were prepared for the worst, having heard a nearby neighborhood had been devastated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After spending the night in an evacuation shelter, the sisters were running through the personal items they had left behind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of stuff that we realized later we should have gotten, like the insurance policy, or birth certificates,\u201d said Ms. Shellhammer, 77.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Fire weather conditions are expected to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/fire_wx\/fwdy2.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">improve<\/a> on Sunday, especially in Oklahoma, with cooler temperatures and light winds in the forecast. An elevated fire weather threat is forecast across a portion of southwest Texas and within a slice of South Dakota and Nebraska.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Saturday afternoon, a new blaze erupted near Fredericksburg, Texas, about 80 miles west of Austin. After starting around 1 p.m. local time, the Crabapple fire quickly grew to 400 acres, and firefighters were struggling to contain it. Fredericksburg officials urged people in the fire\u2019s path to evacuate. <\/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\">More critical conditions return on Monday and Tuesday with strong winds predicted to develop across eastern New Mexico, the Texas Panhandle and the Oklahoma Panhandle. Central Oklahoma will get winds but they will likely not be as strong and widespread as they were on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Stillwater, thousands of athletes had come to town for a weekend of distance running and bike races called the Mid South.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Saturday, the events were canceled, but many visitors remained in town, packing into local restaurants for breakfast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere are still sirens going,\u201d said Josh McCullock, creative director for the event. \u201cIt\u2019s ironic, because it\u2019s a beautiful day outside today. But when you get out to the outskirts of town, there\u2019s a lot of devastation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Across Oklahoma and Texas, over 30,000 households were without power as of Saturday afternoon, according to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/poweroutage.us\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">poweroutage.us<\/a>. There were no reports of residential damage in Texas, according to FEMA. A spokesman for the Texas A&amp;M Forest Service in Amarillo said that the two most prominent fires in the Panhandle area were still not fully contained but that their progression had been stopped.<\/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\">On Friday, Jodi Davis of Canyon, Texas, had accompanied her in-laws to a hotel lobby about 20 miles away in downtown Amarillo, because her father-in-law, who uses an oxygen tank, needed to charge his equipment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Despite the inconvenience, Ms. Davis, 46, said she was grateful that utility companies had proactively turned off electricity in the region. Her family lost hundreds of cattle in a 2017 fire that was worsened, she said, by downed power lines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She cried as she recalled the loss. \u201cI am thankful that we turn off the electricity,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Lucinda Holt<!-- --> contributed reporting from Amarillo, Texas, <!-- -->Judson Jones<!-- --> from Atlanta,
