Texas Fire Spread

A massive wildfire that started in Texas has spread to parts of Oklahoma and has resulted in the death of a person in Hutchinson County, Texas. The wildfire has burned more than 850,000 acres of land in Texas and over 31,000 acres in Oklahoma.
 
Evacuation orders were issued to parts of Texas, and the governor, Greg Abbott, issued a disaster declaration for the state. Over 100 homes have been damaged, and many more have been left without electricity.
 
Agriculture in the region has also not been spared; thousands of animals are feared dead. According to an Extension Agent for AgriLife, Andy Holloway, she said, "I know one rancher near (the city of) Canadian who lost 280 mama cows. They were calving, so many of those are pairs. Another rancher lost more than 300, and one lost 50 or more 2-year-old replacements."
