Did they rake their forests? /s

curiousaur,

I wish firefighters would just do their job and put it out. But I guess they’re Texans, so… worthless.

werefreeatlast,

It’s a girl! Oh thank goodness!

How long before they ask for federal government help?

bibliotectress,

Nah, I’m sure they won’t want any “handouts” right? Lol

I guess god found out where they were hiding all the gays, atheists and commies /s

Cosmonauticus,

I just realized Texas will probably see some of the most extreme cases of destructive weather than any other state due to global warming, yet they are arguably the biggest climate change deniers on the planet

TransplantedSconie,

The entire south along the gulf will probably be pounded like a dollar whore on ten cent night by hurricanes.

Getting weird down here. Simply doesn’t rain in the summer. Never saw water levels so low, and I’m outside a lot, pay attention to the local environment. There were places my kayak couldn’t go.

And the Mississippi River, she’s a-goin’ dry 🎵

That was considered unthinkable in '81, Biblical end kinda shit. (Country Boy Can Survive - HW Jr.). 40-years later and we were a week or three out from a fucking disaster because the Mississippi watershed couldn’t push the salt water back into the Gulf.

Imagine if we dry out like that and then a hurricane hits. Noachian Flood.

FeetinMashedPotatoes,

In 2021, Texas was the number one state contributing to CO2 emissions, and by a lot…like 2 times as much compared to the second state (California)

Have you seen their trucks? They’re the size of houses!

deranger,

It’s the largest now.

Where’d you see that? I’d heard it was the largest in Texan history but for US history there’s one crazy outlier from the early 1800s in Maine that somehow burned over 3mil acres and I don’t think this one has surpassed that yet

bob_omb_battlefield,

I think the one in Maine was mostly in Canada so the portion in the US was smaller.

deranger, (edited )

Ah, I did mix them up. Largest in Texas indeed

Authorities said 1,640 square miles (4,248 square kilometers) of the fire were on the Texas side of the border. Previously, the largest fire in recorded state history was the 2006 East Amarillo Complex fire, which burned about 1,400 square miles (3,630 square kilometers) and resulted in 13 deaths.

wildtamaskan,

Well, it is Texas. Everything is bigger in Texas, right?
