We had one the other day that closed I80 as well as I25 driven by 50+ mph winds, took over 7 different fire districts/departments to finally get it out
Texas fires are unreal, blowing thru towns & ranches

I just saw a news article that stated this fire is the second largest fire in U.S. history.

Seems to me that arson would be a very cheap, safe and easy way for terrorists to terrorize a country. Just saying.

I dreamed up a scenario that I'd love to brag about, but I wouldn't want to help the bastards with the idea.

What I saw was it’s the 2nd largest dirt in Texas history. Know a guy in Texas who is organizing a relief convoy with flatbeds full of hay & grain & food/water for humans as the Canada (town name) was devastated as was cattle ranches in the are
Outside of Amrallo a few miles is a top secret Pantex facility where every single nuclear weapon gets assembled or taken apart. They had to evacuate the facility and lock it down preparing to be overrun by fire but the winds shifted and they resumed normal operations
They have a fire department on site that’s highly trained and they have wildland equipment and plans to secure the facility in case of fire
I’ve done the what if game for years setting up different scenarios. Whats wild is I rattled lots of cages about securing nuclear warheads & sites here and over the years have seen & been told my ideas/suggestions proved to be valuable and were implemented to some extent

And we have another wildland fire, several homes/barns on fire and pulling in mutual aid brush trucks, engine and tenders from over 100 miles away
