I wonder how much Governor Secession will ask for in aid from the federal gubment.
Watch him take the money and pull another border stunt.
Governor Abbot has made an official statement on the wildfires, "This unprecedented wildfire was exacerbated by green technology, specifically those GOD DAMN WINDMILLS!"
As someone who has made campfires, I can confirm that blowing on a fire gives it oxgen and makes it bigger. Goshdarn windmills blowing on the whole State as part of the librahl agenda to make wildfires around north America.
Gotta tilt at something, right?
How do they always spin it like that? The obvious answer for these jesus freaks should be that god really hates texas and wants to scorch it.
It's now the first biggest, and still growing.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A rapidly spreading Texas wildfire has killed one person, forced residents to evacuate, cut off power to homes and businesses, and briefly paused operations at a nuclear facility.
In Hutchinson County, one of the hardest-hit areas, public engagement coordinator Deidra Thomas told CNN one person had died in the blazes.
There are five active wildfires in the state, according to the forest service, each burning tens of thousands acres, melting light posts and reducing buildings to a charred skeleton.
The Smokehouse Creek Fire has caused several towns, a neighbourhood in the city of Amarillo, and other communities to evacuate, according to the forest service and local law enforcement.
The Potter County sheriff's office, which includes Amarillo, issued an announcement on Facebook on Wednesday, warning residents of the possibility of a mandatory evacuation.
Concerns about the spreading fire north of the Pantex nuclear weapons site in Amarillo forced the facility to temporarily close and evacuate staff on Tuesday night.
