STINNETT, Texas (AP) — Firefighters battling the largest wildfire in Texas history face increasingly difficult weather conditions on Saturday.

The Smokehouse Creek Fire that began Monday has killed at least two people, left a charred landscape of scorched prairie, dead cattle and destroyed as many as 500 structures, including burned-out homes, in the Texas Panhandle.

The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning for the entire Panhandle from late Saturday morning through midnight Sunday after rain and snow on Thursday allowed firefighters to contain a portion of the fire.

    As someone who watched millions of Texans cheer on Trump as he actively antagonized the wildfire situation in California, I would like to extend thoughts and prayers to Texans as they go through this trying time.

    Good thing Biden will extend disaster aid to Texas without any fanfare or ridicule because it’s his fucking job to support the U.S.
