Winds as high as sixty miles per hour sent a wildfire right through Bucyrus, burning down almost every building in town.
The raging winds drove the fire for nearly ten miles, mostly through farmland.
Luckily the people of the town were able to evacuate in time, so no one was killed or injured.
Residents of the surrounding area were able to put out the fire, using their personally owned water trucks to rush ahead of the blaze and spray it down.
The nearby town of Hettinger has opened up a shelter for the residents of Bucyrus.
