Anyone from Graham?

I saw that as of a few hours ago that big fire is about 6 miles away from Graham. Does anyone have updates on containment? Here is what I read:

PK COMPLEX, Stephens and Palo Pinto Counties. 147,065 acres total. PK West Fire is 89,715 acres, unknown containment. PK East Fire is 10,996 acres, unknown containment. Hohertz Fire is 40,575 acres, unknown containment. Jackson Ranch Fire is 6,687 acres, 50 percent contained. These fires are burning near Possum Kingdom Lake, Caddo, Strawn and Bunger, which all have had evacuations. 600-plus homes are threatened and 31 have been confirmed destroyed, an additional reported number of homes have been reported as destroyed yesterday and are waiting to be confirmed. The town of Strawn has been evacuated, 30 homes at Bunger were evacuated, and several communities surrounding Possum Kingdom Lake have been. The fire is now 6 miles from Graham.


The worst thing is... there are 3 fires in Texas right now that are bigger than this one!

I have attached a link below of some of the pics that were sent to me from someone who flew over the Hell's Gate and Gain's Bend area of Possum Kingdom Lake.

As you can see the "Alamo House" and the house painted like the Texas flag were destroyed along with almost every house in Hell's Gate.

For those of you familiar with the lake, you will recognize where some of these multimillion dollar houses once stood.

Wow, thanks for posting... I wish this rain we got here in DFW had been out that way instead. We need it too, but we don't need it as badly as anywhere west of here.
