"Texas Panhandle Wildfire Becomes Largest in State History, Devastating Thousands"

A wildfire in the Texas Panhandle has become the largest in state history, scorching nearly 1,700 square miles and merging with another fire, with just 3% containment. The blaze has left a desolate landscape of scorched prairie, dead cattle, and burned homes, with one confirmed death and numerous structures damaged. Firefighters are battling the flames as snowfall provides temporary relief, but the forecast and sheer size of the blaze pose significant challenges. Governor Greg Abbott has declared a disaster in 60 counties, and the impact on the cattle industry is expected to be minimal.
