Originally Published 1 year ago — by ABC News
The Texas Panhandle is battling several large wildfires, including the largest blaze in state history, with over a million acres burned in Texas and 25,000 acres in Oklahoma. At least two people have died, and the governor has declared a disaster in 60 counties. The wildfires have caused extensive damage to properties, including the historic Turkey Track Ranch. While some relief is expected with cooler temperatures and a chance of rain and snow, unseasonably warm and windy weather is forecast to return, posing a continued threat.
