Matthew 24:7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Important Takeaways:
- Texas wildfires: 1 dead as more than 1 million acres burn across the state
- As many as 23 separate wildfires covered more than a million acres across Texas early this morning, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service.
- The state’s fire preparedness level was raised to a three, meaning outside help from other agencies, regions or states may be required to battle the blazes
- The wildfire at Smokehouse Creek is only 3% contained and has covered 850,000 acres — making it bigger than Rhode Island — quickly making it the second-largest blaze in Texas history.
- Wildfires, having moved east from the Texas Panhandle, were spreading in Oklahoma. At least 12 fires were burning in the state, covering more than 115,000 acres.
- Conditions ripe for more fires are expected Saturday and Sunday. Heat and high winds — forecast to gust at 20 mph to 35 mph — will likely cause “critical fire weather conditions again,” the National Weather Service in Amarillo said.
