Deeds said Thursday morning that all of the dead were adults and were in Ranchos Brazos. Another 37 people were injured, with about 100 homes flattened, damaged or destroyed. Separate tornadoes and strong winds near Ennis and Cleburne, where a tornado more than half a mile wide has been confirmed by the National Weather Service, destroyed homes, but no one died.
After a daylong survey, the National Weather Service has confirmed 13 tornadoes, from Montague County down to Ennis in Ellis County.
Although up to seven people are still missing in Granbury, officials said they believe they probably aren't trapped in the rubble and simply haven't notified authorities of their whereabouts. Nonetheless, emergency responders still plan to continue searching the flattened homes."

COLORADO WILDFIRE: Frustration & Ugliness: A Fire that Awoke Rip Van Winkle. The Fire is in Progress at the Moment of Writing this Blog
The fire has been named the High Park Fire.
Flames were seen racing uphill, at angles in the direction of the slant of the mountains, at more of an acute angle than the mountains themselves.
Where: Larimer County, Colorado {primarily}
Firefighters need help out there, as in more support, as of earlier this afternoon.
After 6pm EST, some emergency response management say they have all they need.
NOW, just like a fresh fire started, CAUTION, just as easily, another COULD start, adjacent, and exacerbate the current situation; so, in some sense, there can NEVER BE ENOUGH READINESS.
Opinion [:] Once the fire it completely out, then, it can be unanimously, all that they need to work against the fire is in place. Other angles on containing and CONTROLLING the situation, in terms of contribution of teamwork strategies building, probably could not hurt.
"We can get all the resources we want and need," he [the incident commander] said.
But Colorado's House congressional delegation demanded that the U.S. Forest Service deploy more resources to the fire, which was zero percent contained and forced hundreds of people to abandon their homes.
'New Mexico, Colorado fires burn out of control' [published about 6pmEST/June 11, 2012/AP]
Helicopters with water have arrived from Canada to help.
1 person is 'missing' thus far. [As of June 12, 2012, the missing person has been identified as a 62 year old woman, now deceased]
Door-to-door evacuations were/ are[?] being performed.
Stories have it the fire started Saturday morning {2 days ago}.
The description of the flames on video: bright orange flames, just like an orange colored crayon. Huge white colored smoke clouds have formed, some looked like just the top part of a mushroom. On top of some of the white clouds are dark-gray-colored clouds.
The fire DOES NOT seem to be CONTAINED as of yet. 12:45 EST [June 11].
20,000 acres were burnt in 48 hours.
Elements of 'whisping', winds, helping, the flames. The kind of fire that could have awakened Rip Van Winkle.
What is a successful strategy for containing and putting the fire out?
The last footage seen, was the Colorado fire burning right now, is the kind of scene, fire loves, making due with the situation. The situation is, it is in mountainous area of Colorado, which is more rural than a densely populated city.
Flames were seen racing uphill, at angles in the direction of the slant of the mountains, at more of an acute angle than the mountains themselves.
Where: Larimer County, Colorado {primarily}
- Boulder County, Colorado {bordering and adjacent south of Larimer, of concern}
- Jefferson County, Colorado {bordering and adjacent south of Boulder County, in stories, and of concern}
- Broomfield, County, Colorado {bordering and adjacent southeast tip of Boulder County, of concern}
- more specifics: east of Walden, west of Fort Collins
