Smokehouse Creek Fire burns family's ranch land, kills livestock in Panhandle

[@BeyondPC]

The power pole suspended in midair by the cables was surreal.

[@Odin33356]

We've devolved into jungle bunnies that grow marijuana indoors just to complain about power outages or fires created by them and dead firemen

[@sequoyah59]

I can't imagine the dust and damage if the drought continues. I've drilled all over that part of the country, great hard working hardy people live there. They have to be tough to survive and they have to rely on each other as well. Cattle numbers are really low these days and the herds will suffer more than they have already from death and injury. Poor animals. Where to go?

[@catherinesmith791]

Stay Strong!!! I'm praying for y'all

[@stevem-h5e]

Cheapskate.

[@helenjones568]

why does media pull so many clips from past days and oerwhelm the scene we are looking at. Why can't you just stay in the moment of the day! Each day has enough problems in itself. The after math on day 3 is enough. Don't add clips to the one day from the past! Its not reality!

HOW DID THE FIRE BEGIN??

Why capital letters! Are you a conspiracy theories person ?

Poor animals.

[@pohanahawaii]

🐂🐃🐄 And that's why I'm only sad for the animals, especially farmed ones whose short lives have always been harsh and end in horrific deaths, sometimes prolonged due to *live animal long-distance transports.*

@pohanaahawaii Hope you enjoy your libtardism when you are forced to follow the wef! You will own nothing and eat bugs and like it!

[@inthekitchen8842]

I guess your vegan and only where vegan shoes, purses, etc. Get real. I guess you'll eat bugs and be happy...

[@pohanahawaii]

@@inthekitchen8842 : 🐛🐜 Bugs are still animals, and probably not tasty like an orange or carrot. Animal agriculture is *cruel to animals, unhealthy to people, wasteful of natural resources, destructive to the environment.* Haven't you noticed 8/10 people we see on the news are now morbidly obese? Kids too. As for shoes, KEEN shoes and sandals are very well made, comfy, and last for at least a decade under heavy wear. You don't have to be a raging vegan but certainly reduce animal consumption to once/twice a week instead of everyday at every meal would certainly help with all of the above. 🙏

[@pohanahawaii]

@@inthekitchen8842 : 🐛🐜 Bugs are animals too and probably not as tasty as fruits, veggies, an Impossible burger, Morning Star sausages, Just Eggs, etc. You don't have to be raging vegan but certainly *reduce animal consumption* to once/twice a week, focusing on Quality instead of Quantity would help not just the animals but also our Health, Natural Resources, and the Environment a great deal! 🌱

So, what started the Texas fires, lightning, spontanious combustion, a bick

[@catherinesmith791]

I don't know what started it, but the wind always blows in Texas and its extremely dry this time of year and there aren't many trees, so it's basically scrub brush and low-lying bush. When you have dry windy conditions, it doesn't take much of anything to spark a fire and wind will spread it fast. There are a lot of large cattle ranches and feed lots that house cattle until they can be taken to the slaughter-house in the area. I miss living in the panhandle, it's beautiful country with wide open spaces and canyons. It makes me sad to see it burning. Lots of great memories

[@williamherold1776]

Thanks Oprah

[@annahgibbus8]

What's burning? There aren't any trees its all desert.

[@DianeSturlinXX]

Grass...grass as tall as a man for hundreds of miles.

[@StuInTheSticks]

It looks like a desert now that it's burnt, before it was open grassland's that's why it's cattle country. Any area that see's fire this hot look's like a wasteland afterwards, burnt chare smell is overpowering for week's or even month's after; then when it rain's again new life come's rushing back to the land it's amazing to see. I've lived through forest fire's close to my own home, have seen it happen many time's.

@@DianeSturlinXX Thank you! It seems obvious now that you mentioned it, grass. 🤦Duh me LoL

@@annahgibbus8 No worries, actually I'm not from Texas I live thousand's of miles away but I do know it's a big grassland's part of Texas. I've lived through bad fire season's in my own area, a lot a of stress these folk are going through right now and yet to come even after the fire's are out.

NOTE: Cattle prices are DOWN. These fires may have been set intentionally, if you know the business. Not moving the cattle out first is a sure sign it was done for greedy reason.

[@inthekitchen8842]

You can't just call the the cows like dogs when they freely own thousands of acres and expect the cows to jump in the trailer. Dud you not see how fast this fire moved?? This is exactly why your kind won't survive what's coming...

[@frankmacleod2565]

Yep everything is a conspiracy. Clearly the cattle ranchers set their own land on fire

[@frankmacleod2565]

I guess we can't trust Texas cattle ranchers, they'll attack America to keep their profits up. Thanks for pointing this out

[@alandavis8211]

No cattle prices are not down quit lieing.

so you're saying the cattle ranchers set their own land on fire, to destroy their herds and raise the price of beef. Yeah, ok
