Amazing Drone Work and i pull my Hat for the Fire Fighters

[@judycoyne7818]

I pray those cattle were transported out of harms way!!🙏

[@rjn6953]

Ive lived in this part of Texas for many years. This is beyond heartbreaking...😢

[@thankyou9085]

Good thing there are no trees in this part of Texas One thing is a grass fire, but forest fires are way more dangerous and difficult to control/end Prayers up though 🙏

[@england670]

Were those cattle saved?

[@OrtusMallum2075]

If not, will the price of beef drop?

[@buckiesilas5284]

If they wasn't saved. Beef would go up.

[@rikellis7871]

Water drops availability?

[@johnboer5479]

The first 2 days it was to windy for air drops.

My name is Shawn P. Starry. My company Paladins Round Table Network is making a documentary about the Panhandle fire. We would like to know if we could use your footage in our film? We would be happy to give credit to your work in the contributors section.

[@skiqsr]

Caterpillar makes a large capacity water puller. Where is it… it is at the open pit mines and the gravel pits why aren’t they using them?

[@philliphall5198]

Can they blade it now and stop it ?? Seems direction will help put it out They need help for sure 😢😢😢

[@nataliemadrigal899]

We have been but with 65mph sustained winds shifting directions nothing would stop it. Sad days here in the Lonestar state.

[@wesleyalden08]

They've had dozers and maintainers out trying to cut fire lines. The terrain isn't helping any. Lots of canyons and ravines with tall, thick grass. With the winds blowing like they have been, you can't hardly keep up with it on a brush truck. Then there's the issue of water supply. It's hard to get tankers close enough to the fire line in that kind of terrain. By the time they drive out to the staging area for water, what headway they've made has been lost cause of the high winds. Most, if not all of those departments, are volunteer from small towns. Given the circumstances they've done a hell of a job!

[@blondie6549]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@user-ds9eq8zx2n]

Easy pump and roll just not enough firefighters to do it

[@spacestarkid28]

DEW lasers 💥🔥.

[@mdutchy2582]

They plowed that where the cattle are. It wont burn there.

[@nataliemadrigal899]

It jumped a highway so we HOPE it will curtail this fire but we are supposed to get high winds again this weekend.

[@quakingaspen5016]

Grass fires are needed for a grassland ecosystem.

[@blondie6549]

Not this 😮

[@johnd3230]

Controlled fires

[@Rickyboricky]

Where's the air tanker from Austin?

[@OrtusMallum2075]

Issues with wind. It will be a problem in a couple days as well.

[@nataliemadrigal899]

Coming Friday.

[@Rusty1972]

Yes. The wind died down and they brought in helicopters. Much needed relief.

[@CC-jj7ne]

Displaced Beef cows out in dirt. No grass to eat because the fire. Beef prices going up!!!

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

When the video started I was shocked that the farmers weren’t out discing at least around their livestock. That’s the first thing they do when there’s a field fire bc it’s the only way to stop it.

[@buckhorncortez]

They're not farmers. They're ranchers and don't have tillage implements.

[@Rusty1972]

Don’t have the equipment nor they had no time. It was moving way too fast.

[@user-ds9eq8zx2n]

Cows are safely in an agricultural field. Probably what most ranchers did because they are used to the prairie burning.

[@blondie6549]

It’s not farmland 😮

[@blondie6549]

Prairie land. Does that 👀 like farmland? Do you live in a city or a cave?

[@staceylpittman532]

How did this begin?

[@nataliemadrigal899]

Hard to say. Incredible winds and very dry conditions. Static electricity, dropped cigarette? This is the worst month for fires here in Texas. It was terrible. 😢

[@andybreuker4759]

look up Directed Energy Weapons..they did that in Lahaina. then you're getting warm

[@slimlol-j5b]

@@andybreuker4759 Lahaina was caused by a downed powerline

[@RoadWarrior48]

Very suspicious as to the quantity of simultaneous fires at one time. Sure hope this is not another terrorist opportunist event. Prayers for everybody.!

[@JJJJE-zy9wk]

There’s nothing suspicious about the amount of wildfires that are happening currently. It’s pretty common and natural when the conditions are right and in the kinda land like Texas, flat and grassy. Texas and much of the southern states and east coast have been experiencing unseasonably warm temperatures and Texas is in a drought. All that was needed to spark these wildfires in Texas was some strong gusty winds which occurred and now this is the result. This isn’t a terrorist attack or any foul play this is just nature.

[@JJJJE-zy9wk]

You can even see in the video all of the dry dead grass and plants ahead of the burned fire grass. Very easily for wild fires to spark and spread from that with strong winds due to the drought and unseasonably warm temperatures.

[@CameronTeerink]

Love seeing people that come on here speculating how FIVE fires is some crazy thing, absolutely ridiculous to say that this is some terrorist act by the government, fires are a part of life

[@wisdomsleuth77777]

This kind of instances when we need all hands on deck with large equipment from the National Guard in any off-duty military this is just nuts and we need more people throwing at the problem I cannot even stand thinking about what's fixing to happen to a lot of the livestock in this area it's disgusting and there goes the price of beef on top of it insurance rates Skyrocket all of those other little things that is now going to affect all of us not just the newly homeless people

[@OrtusMallum2075]

1+1=2 A tactic to draw the national guard away from the border.... 🤔

[@anthonylagunas6737]

Ther is no military base in the area.

[@nataliemadrigal899]

Our Governor called in EVERYBODY! He declared a disaster. It's Biden that doesn't give a crap.

[@01SilveradoLT]

Why in gods name are they not using a fleet of tankers? And no it’s not too windy, it’s an airplane FFS.

[@robertreznik9330]

Half a million acres is too much to contain with county and state funds.

[@OrtusMallum2075]

When a fire is over a million acres water tankers aren’t gonna do shit

[@toddmuehling2818]

Any one else notice a bunch of geo therm sprays the days leading up to the fires? I’ve got some video with more then one jet spraying at the same time Heavy spraying in Lahaina days leading up to the fires too 🤔

Good thing Abott spent millions on busses instead of land management

[@mdutchy2582]

Land management? lol My goodness. Tell us genius, just how you land management for wildfires. You'd literally have to turn it into desert sand, devoid of any vegetation. Whats scary is you get to vote.

You can't even spell. Get lost pumpkin.

I do not believe Abott can control the weather. It’s dry and windy. Not much anyone can do about that. A lot of People lost everything I do not believe we need to bring in politicians for this. Just be happy with what’s left

[@mdutchy2582]

The cost to send them on busses is much much much cheaper than paying for them to stay in Texas.

Karma. The land belongs to the native indigenous peoples Separating kids from their parents at the border You had to know this was going to make you enemies of God and footstool to those who are not Christian hypocrites, liars, cheats, grifters, the greedy. Peacemakers will inherit the Earth, not Christian hypocrites Indigenous people will have their ancestral homeland back. They know how to care for the Earth.
