"Texas Panhandle Towns Evacuate as Massive Wildfires Rage"

TL;DR Summary
Wildfires in the Texas Panhandle have forced nearly 5,000 residents to evacuate and seek shelter as four separate fires burn over 230,000 acres. Evacuation efforts have been hindered by blocked roadways, and officials have ordered residents to shelter in place. The fires, fueled by strong winds and warm temperatures, have prompted voluntary evacuations in some areas and a disaster declaration from Gov. Greg Abbott covering 60 counties. Firefighters are working to contain the blazes as additional resources and personnel are deployed to the region.
