Texas grass fire

Numerous wildfires were roaring Thursday through parts of Oklahoma and Texas, searing whole neighborhoods, including some in Oklahoma City, as hurricane-force winds continued to kick the flames even higher.

The fires had engulfed so many miles of turf, and flying embers had sparked in so many different places, that hours after the first blazes were reported Thursday morning, safety officials still weren't sure how many fires they were facing.

There were no immediate counts on possible injuries or deaths. A firefighter who was working near Lindsey, Oklahoma, was in critical condition with third-degree burns over 35 percent of his body, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
