Firefighters battling the largest wildfire in Texas history face increasingly difficult weather conditions and are focused on containing the northern and eastern perimeter of the fire while protecting life and property.

STINNETT, Texas (AP) — Firefighters battling the largest wildfire in Texas history face increasingly difficult weather conditions on Saturday.

The Smokehouse Creek Fire that began Monday has killed at least two people, left a charred landscape of scorched prairie, dead cattle and destroyed as many as 500 structures, including burned-out homes, in the Texas Panhandle.

The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning for the entire Panhandle from late Saturday morning through midnight Sunday after rain and snow on Thursday allowed firefighters to contain a portion of the fire.

    Why would God send wildfires to Texas when they’re so close to fulfilling God’s holy desire to ban Trans people and turn women into birth slaves?

    As someone who watched millions of Texans cheer on Trump as he actively antagonized the wildfire situation in California, I would like to extend thoughts and prayers to Texans as they go through this trying time.

    Good thing Biden will extend disaster aid to Texas without any fanfare or ridicule because it’s his fucking job to support the U.S.

    Why not think and pray? Or get out your OC AR-15 and shoot the dang thing. Those seem to be the Texas go-to options. It’s God’s judgement on permissiveness with the immigrants and guys.

    Oh, and for you dipshits from Texas: /s
