"Texas Wildfires: Devastation and Destruction"

Fierce winds and dry weather are exacerbating the largest wildfire in Texas' history, which has already claimed two lives, destroyed hundreds of structures, and killed thousands of cattle. Red flag warnings are in place for over 8 million people across the Central Plains, with multiple fires scorching the Texas panhandle. The blaze threatens the state's cattle industry, with devastating impacts on farmers and their livestock. Urgent warnings have been issued ahead of Texas' Independence Day, and fundraising efforts are underway to support those affected. Governor Greg Abbott described the devastation as "utter" and "unlike anything" he had seen before, with over 400 structures already confirmed destroyed.
