Grass fires devastate Texas ranches and farms
Grass fires across Texas and Oklahoma have scorched more than 250 000 acres and 340 homes since late December. Ranchers report ruined hay, barn destruction, and equipment losses while seeking hay and grazing options as drought worsens. Federal disaster aid may help Carbon and other counties. Neighboring states have sent hay relief as farmers await rain and regrowth.

Seattle faces 26th straight day of heavy rain
The city logged a 26th consecutive day of rain amid forecasts of up to 83 days in the sequence, amid rising flood and landslide concerns. Officials warned the saturated landscape cannot hold more water as rainfall records fell in Seattle and Olympia. Meteorologists expected more rain through Jan. 20 with brief dry spells unlikely, while warnings remained for the Chehalis river near Centralia and a small area west of Bromerton.
