A wildfire which broke out in northern Texas yesterday has doubled in size today, being fueled by the tall grass.
So far the main three sections of this fire are:
Smokehouse Creek Fire
Grape Vine Creek Fire
Windy Deuce Fire
Grape and Windy have been contained 20%, while Smokehouse is still at 0%.
Forced evacuations have occured.
In Hemphill & Roberts, Canadian and Northeast of Amarillo roads haven blocked off.
I've never seen anything like this.
There is an absurd wildfire in north Texas. It is visible on the CIRA Fire detector on the GOES 16 weather satellite. The breadth of this can not be correct, right? That's way too big. pic.twitter.com/mcg5dSPj7H
A massive blaze that’s raging out of control is threatening Texas Panhandle towns and forcing residents to evacuate.
The Smokehouse Creek Fire, the largest wildfire burning in the region, has exploded to 200,000 acres since igniting Monday afternoon, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service.
The blaze, driven by gusty winds and fueled by dry, unseasonably warm conditions, is moving incredibly rapidly and remains 0% contained.
Evacuations were ordered early Tuesday afternoon for parts of Hemphill and Roberts counties as the fire encroached on populated areas. This includes the town of Canadian, Texas, around an hour and half northeast of Amarillo, Texas.
Parts of Fritch, Texas, which straddles Moore and Hutchinson counties to the north of Amarillo, are also under an evacuation order for a separate fire, city officials and the Texas A&M Forest Service said.
round 100 people could be affected by the evacuation order, Moore County Emergency Management Coordinator Tommy brooks told CNN.
A robust cold front is forecast to slice through the area Tuesday evening and will cause the wind direction to shift, which could force fires to spread in new directions.
More than 11 million people in the south-central US are under red flag warnings Tuesday as springlike warmth, gusty winds and dry air create dangerous fire weather.
Texas and Oklahoma are in the epicenter of some of the most dangerous conditions.
Multiple large wildfires ignited in the Texas Panhandle Monday under similar dry, warm and windy conditions.

A wildfire in the Texas panhandle was burning out of control Tuesday as it threatened towns and forced residents to evacuate their homes.
The Smokehouse Creek fire burning near Stinnett, about 60 miles northeast of Amarillo, was originally reported Monday evening and had grown to more than 250,000 acres by Tuesday afternoon with no containment.
The fire is primarily being fueled by tall grass.
On Monday, the National Weather Service Office in Amarillo warned that grasses would be drier because of warmer weather.

The Texas A&M Forest Service told USA TODAY the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
With all the focus lately on the southern Texas border, it’s curious that now it’s northern area is on fire.
Let’s hope this is contained quickly.
Say a prayer for those in this area and declare life and protection over them.
EDITOR’S NOTE: They’re going after the food source! Trying to eliminate more cattle and Texas is FULL of cattle!

U.S. Ranchers Band Together, Raise $300M To Save Our Food Supply!
If you’ve been here for a while, you know I don’t like to just bring you problems, I like to bring you solutions!
The MSM just brings you bad news….over and over and over again.
Why?
Because bad news boosts ratings.
We don’t do that here.

We bring you TRUTH above all, and when we do cover bad news I always like to find a solution I can tack on with it.
So that’s what I’m doing right now.
Look, I don’t need to convince you our food supply is under attack, in more ways than one.
Toxins and preservatives and chemicals and most ingredients you can’t even pronounce added into every product…
Antibiotics and hormones and mRNA pumped into our beef, chicken and fish!
And that’s all assuming you’ll continue to be able to get the food, tainted and toxic as it may be….
I have been predicting for a while that the next “crisis” they hit us with will affect the food supply.
Remember when people freaked out about toilet paper and paper towels and suddenly you couldn’t buy them anywhere?
Shelves were bare and rationing was implemented by stores tracking how much you could buy?
That was bad, but nowhere near as bad and nowhere near the panic you’ll see when it’s not just paper products you wipe your butt with, but FOOD!
But like I said, I don’t think I need to convince you of these threats to our food supply.
And yes, that is just a Tweet on Twitter, which is why I dug deeper to get you the details.
From Grok:
According to the information provided, it appears that US ranchers are indeed taking steps to raise $300 million to build their own beef processing plants. In recent years, there has been growing concern among ranchers about the control and pricing power of the “Big Four” meatpacking companies. In response, some ranchers have decided to band together and invest in their own processing plants to have more control over the supply chain and potentially increase their profits.
For example, Sustainable Beef LLC, a company organized by ranchers in Nebraska, is planning to build a $300 million beef processing plant near North Platte. This plant is one of several similar projects in the works across the country, with others being planned in Iowa, Idaho, and Wisconsin.
The US Department of Agriculture is also taking steps to encourage a more diverse supply chain in the beef industry, allocating $650 million to fund the construction of mid-size and small meat and poultry plants, along with $100 million in loan guarantees.
Overall, it seems that US ranchers are indeed making a concerted effort to raise $300 million to build their own beef processing plants.
I’ve personally searched out and partnered with one of these ranchers!
Even been out to one of the ranches in Idado to see it myself and it’s pretty incredible!
They’re doing everything right….
100% FREE from Antibiotics, added Hormones and mRNA:
They don’t depend on ranchers….because they ARE the ranchers!
Oh and they also own and control every other step in the process too!
The ranch, the processing, the packing and the shipping!
Think all meat is the same?
You have no idea until you actually try real meat.
The stuff you get at the store has been so processed and “preserved” that you don’t know the difference until you taste how it SHOULD be….
Check this out:
So if you want in and want to make sure you have a direct line to antibiotic free, free range pasture raised, no added hormones and no mRNA jab never not ever….I’ve got you covered!
