‘We need to understand the devastation.’ Texas Panhandle ranchers describe losses from wildfires
At least $102 million dollars. That’s just an initial estimate of the hit Panhandle ranchers took after an outbreak of wildfires in late February — including the Smokehouse Creek Fire, the largest in state history. Over three days this week, a panel of state lawmakers heard first-hand accounts from affected ranchers and investigators exploring the fire’s origins.
Power lines are the cause of two wildfires that have burned more than 1 million acres in the Panhandle, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service.

I just saw a whole bunch of idiots on X carrying on about the Texas fire... "it must be arson", "Texas DEW", "I suppose they will blame it on climate change", "yeah, like there are no fires anywhere else, just here, must be started by climate activists", "yeah, just like Maui- started by arson", "must be either food or oil being burned..", "they are blocking the roads on purpose".
How is it possible that people are this stupid?
