    I’m not a tech guy but my father is, I’d guess something like:

    Gray, Z Thomas, Crabtree, Welker, Harrell

    i really only know their teams from the mid-80s on. I know there was a DT drafted really high in the early 80s whose pro career never happened due to an awful car accident, so maybe him. Donnie Anderson too? Also thought of Hanspard. Tyrone Thurman was a WR/returner from the mid 80s who was awesome and tiny.

    I don’t know, tech guys can tell me where I’m wrong.

    Most of the people in the US don’t even know what the Panhandle is. Shit, people in Texas don’t even know what the Panhandle is. Most people don’t know the Panhandle has the nation’s second largest canyon in Palo Duro canyon. Humble brag picture of my family’s ranch below—view from the front porch. And I understand controlled burns but it’s windy there. Windy all the fucking time. Like we are used to 20-35 mph winds and many times double that. The wind is a huge factor. We have mostly mesquite trees and prairie grass and fucking tumbleweeds. 
     

    One of my good friends is helping to organize places for people to bring their livestock and other animals. The thing is this could shift any time with the fucking winds. And be like a raging inferno. If I have something to post on how people can assist I will do that (vetting what I post already.) 

    the Palo Duro Canyon is beautiful and a treasure. I shudder to think if the fire goes in the canyon. It’s scary. It’s mainly short grass and brush/bushes. It’s not a ton of overgrown shit.

    And most do not realize these fires are in the " Canadian River breaks" land north and south of said breaks is the flat prairie...but where the fires are it is hills and canyons and very rough country which makes it hard for the firefighters

    My sister and BiL are ER nurses.   I think it’s fair to count them as first responders in regional catastrophes.

    I know they participate in emergency drills with firefighters and paramedics.

    I worked 25 years in the field as a paramedic....went back to school got my RN. Went to work in ER's for the next 5

    Do not put ER nurses in with first responders, there is no comparison. Flight nurses yes

    Daily forecast shows a high of 34 for Amarillo today, and then the 10 day forecast shows a high of 36 for today.

    WTF?  yeah, it's only 2 degrees, but shouldn't they match?

     

     

    I know that 14 degrees with that breeze this morning was fresh
