From CNN.com:

The pilot of a twin-engine plane reported trouble shortly after takeoff and had decided to return to the airport, an official in Branson, Missouri, said. But the plane went down in a huge fireball near the center of the popular resort town, killing all four aboard the aircraft. Terry Ware, an employee of a plumbing company near the crash, said she hurried to the scene but could not get near the plane because of the intense fire. “You could hear the people screaming,” she said.

More grass fires in Oklahoma

Oklahoma grass fire

From CNN.com:

Another spate of grassland wildfires sprang up and spread across the southern Oklahoma prairie Wednesday, consuming numerous homes and forcing more than 500 people to evacuate, authorities said. Problems were compounded by 30 mph winds whipping across the prairie and 90-degree-plus temperatures. The blazes are spreading across the same region of the state where thousands of acres burned in December.

All this, with 90+ temperatures, and it’s still winter!
