Texas Panhandle wildfire scorches vast area as flames merge
Texas firefighters battle the Smokehouse Creek Fire now spanning 1700 plus square miles after merging with another blaze and crossing into Oklahoma. The effort focuses on northern and eastern perimeters amid 45 mph gusts and sub 10 percent humidity as authorities report at least two deaths and thousands of cattle losses. Weather warnings persist with red flag conditions through Sunday and officials warn new fires could spark despite containment efforts. Governor Abbott urges vigilance while crews work to protect structures and prevent more fatalities.
