The largest wildfire in Texas history was still only 15 percent contained, and while firefighters have made some progress, winds and temperatures are expected to increase again. NBC News’ Morgan Chesky reports

#Texas #Wildfire #Fire
Climate change isn’t real, tho…. GOP are creating a dangerous situation & miss-educating the public. Imagine if Texas supported Regenerative Agricultural….
It is a horrible thing when a wildfire takes over. I know. I live in California.
Cool story bob.
I know as well in eastern Washington state
Abbott should call Newsom for advice
😂😂😂
That moronic orange traitor could have told them to rake the leaves.
Meanwhile should get some advice on how to keep an energy grid up.
Bet Texas wants ALL the federal help now.
Newsom would tell Abbott to stick it in his ear!! Abbott only takes ‘bad advice’ from Traitor Trump.
(GOD) Is doing a little humbling.
Nothing to see here, folks!
Click bait.
There is no God. There’s only preparation and policy, Texas lacks both.
I remember all the concern and care we got in California from the folks in Texas back during the Paradise fire days… If you don’t recall it it’s because it didn’t happen. Maybe Texas needs to clean up their Forest floors. Doesn’t sit well does it.
I volunteer with a worldwide disaster relief agency and was in Chico within a single didget number of days of the fire starting in Paradise. Ash , heavy smoke, and dark skies every day for the weeks I spent in support of front line fire fighters and other key and essential personnel. I reside in South-Central Texas and would willingly support any State in the U.S. again in a heartbeat. I’m a bit busy on the home front today though……can’t thank you enough for your comment.
How did it become so easy to dehumanize people? Do you really think these people all specifically didn’t care about Paradise? How do you know? Did you ask each one personally? Did you read every single comment on the internet somehow?
No wonder it’s so easy for our leaders to control us and mess with us, look how easily we “other” each other
I’m from California too btw and you are gross.
Life must be hard for someone as ignorant as you…. Texas sends folks almost yearly to California to assist y’all in wildfires.
I prayed feverently for the California fires. I actually had a panic attack because I was so concerned. But keep on keeping on.
Thats not gonna help hater.
Jesus is coming back be ready ❤If u openly declare Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead u will be saved
He’ll be wearing a rainbow flag, shouldn’t be hard to miss.
Is that what your 2000 year old book told you? How about the 200 generations that lived and died without him coming back? If their preparation was not in vain then it’s not really his return that you’re preparing for.
Yes because the rainbow is his not a bunch of naked pervs running around whining me me me all the way home to hell@@agent00soul48
Yes because the rainbow is his not a bunch of bervs running around naked saying me me me all the way home to h e double hockey sticks@@agent00soul48
What I have observed is that no one has read the Holy Bible to search the truth for themselves. The Holy Spirit will show you truth if you ask for truth, but time is very short a small window is available but that time is soon coming to a close. Seek Him while He still may be found.
Don’t let climate change you, la de da da da da da…
Praise invisible sky 💩
@@GunCareHealthControlI heard Jeebus saves, except when he doesn’t.
@agent00soul48 all the ladies love Jesus because he’s HUNG
@@GunCareHealthControl Was hung. On a cross. Allegedly.
No worries.
Joe is on top od this and we will make a stand!
I guess god is mad at red hat lunitics
Eh last I thought California had some pretty bad wildfires, I guess he was mad at the “blue hat” lunatic’s.
sounds to me, you mean the commie dems who are burning up the entire US.
You curse people in a crisis and mock a God you don’t care about. Go listen to some the three hermits or johnny cash reading.
@@OutWestRedDirt. Are you OK? You seem angry and out of it.
Vote Greg out. He’s useless.
Just like your comment
Its not a wildfire.
Yeah. It’s been domesticated.
It’s wild already, but not a wildfire for sure. Dew you feel me?
@@OutWestRedDirt No. It’s definitely more of a LERM.
Low effort recycled misinformation.
@@OutWestRedDirt DEW = Low effort recycled misinformation. 9/11 called it wants it’s conspiracy back.
Most definitely a wildfire. The conspiracy theory hacks have even less understanding of fires like this because they are caught up in their make believe super weapons. Anyone need a tin hat??
Why doesn’t Abbott come out with what is really going on? How about any of the political come out with the truth?
Abbott is WEF. Probably all the border stuff is to make people think the gov is mad at Abbott and so that is the reason to start burning and destroying TX. All those snakes are in the same den hole.
Texas should really consider raking away all the dry grass and hay then perhaps this tragedy could have been preventable.
You’re clueless
I should’ve read yours before posting mine! salute.
Like they do in Finland. 😂
@@OutWestRedDirt
You sure it’s me that’s clueless?
Might have been a prescribed burn that goes out of control, 🤔
Looks like Abbott is going to need some socialism
yeah. maybe climate change is real.
One of the crazy MAGAs probably tried to light some innocent migrants on fire or something and this is God’s way of saying you are all being false profits. Start treating people right and stop being so evil.
Wait. Super governor Greg Abbott haven’t gotten this under control yet?
He’s too busy with the fake border crises, and shipping immigrants to responsible blue states.
I don’t care for Gov. Abbott, but this fire would difficult for anybody to fight. Grassland fires are the fastest moving of fires which is why it has burned so much average in such a short time.
Government (CIA, military) made Lazer fires.
Abbot is to busy being at border when no one is crossing now lol
So who’s still claiming this to just be normal weather ? 🤔
Right Robert. So no natural AT ALL.
It’s not normal.90 degrees in February…it’s going to be a long hot summer.
This is a global warming driven weather phenomena producing unusually warm weather for this time of year plus dry conditions and high winds which is a recipe for disaster.
Wonder where is Megyn Kelly & John Schneider in all this? They were very talkative just a matter of days ago now all suddenly they have went quite on us.
Controlled
@@valeriebalcom3665 👍
How is it even possible to have fires with snow on the grounds…smh
It’s possible
Ground doesn’t freeze like in colder region, area was already hitting 80s just before the light brief snow. No match for intense heat of dew fires.
@@OutWestRedDirt So explain the physics of how these few things operate. Whose behind it? Why is it that no one ever has images of these dew instruments or whatever you call them? People like you mention the word DEW as if that explains everything nothing!!
The culprit isn’t DEW, space lasers nor related to politices or the border. It’s some kind of an ionshpheric heater like HAARP but Russian. Russia indeed triggered this wildfire yet they didn’t mean It and they are extremely sorry for the loss. Russia is simply using ELF radio waves to probe and map the subterranean nuclear structures in the panhandle in their quest to update their antiquated Cold War era maps. They probed and mapped the subterranean structures at Rocky Flats also and this also triggered the Marshall fire in superior, Colorado in late 2021.
@@OutWestRedDirtso you’re dew laser managed to melt all the snow in the areas video taped but no one managed to capture footage of this supposed dew laser? Give everyone a break, we can only handle so much stupidity
I’ve lost everything from a fire, so my heart goes out to everyone affected. The sense of helplessness is overwhelming. Prayers for Texas.
Blame is on the liberals and their windmills? If Texas man asks for federal aid you only get it if people can choose to use their own bathroom.
Our prayers for Texans. May the Lord comfort them, provide for them, and guide them through this tragic loss. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Everything and i mean Everything is foretold and explained in the true word of God,ask with a sincere heart for Him to open your eyes and ears.
I feel so bad for the people of Texas affected by the fires.
Vote out Abbott and Fled Cruz as an afterthought.
Trump didn’t tell them to rake up all the pine needles?
No pine needles on the prairie Einstein.
@@OutWestRedDirt Went right over your head Sherlock.
@@OutWestRedDirt
Extreme Rhetoric is not intended to be logical ! Einstein !
Rat ‘s did it
On purpose
Sad to see Governor Abbotts wall with Woklahoma and Secession put on hold, texans must feel confident seeing him with trump fearful of languages
do what ever you want the fire is coming
Stay strong Texas
You need a better governor.
The one you have is awful.
You must know it. The whole country knows it.😮
Speak for yourself
@lilyandmurphy5388 another shared YT account? Who cheated?
Thoughts and prayers. Nothing more.
You know the goverment started that wildlife to mess with abbot
god have mercy😭
No
How long will it take before Abbott, Crud, and the other MAGA nuts blame the fire on illegal immigrants?
Y’all need to get RED out, get All Blue in! Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz, worthless!
GOD HELP TEXAS
DIOS AYUDE A TEXAS
DIEU AIDE LE TEXAS
Absolutely heartbreaking 💔 love from Southern Cali to Texas
Karma for the disgraceful treatment of migrants at the border 🙏
Karma isn’t real; it’s Hindu nonsense. Those aren’t migrants; they’re criminals. And the US government did this
What started this D.E.W
100 percent
Texas should ask Biden for help! 😅
Gov. Abbott has in fact declared 60 counties as disaster zones and federal aid will be forthcoming so the appropriate authorities are on it as well as can be expected.
Thoughts and prayers.
Terrible, just like Hawaii. Be safe Texas.
Love looking at the trolls comments on the various different news media releases of coverage. Wishing ill will on the people, and livestock. So refreshing.
I def don’t think anyone wishes ill will on livestock. Hard to be sympathetic to a state that had SO MANY trolls from TX making rude, heartless comments on the Cali fires and floods. They are just reaping what they sowed.
Guess the people are reaping what they sowed. Horrible, nasty comments they made during the Cali fires & floods. Let’s be real, TX has some of the nastiest big mouths.
So does California! People need to be kind! Stop the hate based on politics! We are all Americans!
@@dorenewhitacre1908 Where did i say anything about politics? I simply talked about TX people being rude about disasters in Cali . Evidently you need to read a lot more comment sections as TX is always bashing other states like CA, NY etc. for their politics. They bash people far more than others for their beliefs. Furthermore, no one NEEDS to do anything. I guarantee you didn’t make any of these ” people need to be nice” comments when people were bashing Cali. Go take your advice elsewhere.
while the panhandle was burning down, greg abbott was with loony trump and the texas national guard at the border performing a circus.
You are a disgrace to the Alvarez family name.
Watch out for summer!
Gonna need some labor maybe hire some migrants?😊
Why can’t they stop it when trees are the size of bushes?
Because it’s not the trees that are source of the fire, but the dry grasslands. Millions of acres of dry grasslands in this part of the southern plains. Combined with high winds all it takes is a spark which can come from numerous sources. Lightening, tossed cigarette, yard trash fire goes out of control from high winds, sparks machinery, and there are many more dudes of wildfires.
When the wind is blowing over 40 mph the fire fighters can do little more than get out of the way.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 how sad.
The state is run by a couple of morons, that’s why….
@michaeldeierhoi4096 the trees do end up burning but they take more to catch on fire. Dormant grass burns very quickly without winds.
@@FrozenGamerMan True dat!
So the billions used we don’t have anyway to fight this. Garbage
All of you have to ask why ?? is this GOD REVENGE for you silence about GAZA KILLING ?
Of course.
There goes State Farm…..😅
Texas was intentionally set on fire by the Democrats. Plain and simple. So obvious. That’s an act of war.
What caused fire? 😮
The fire is simply seeking asylum.
Where are the firefighters from out of state helping?
Where are the planes dumping fire retardant on the fires?
Sad
I live in Chile and work in the US so I’m seeing historic wildfires 12 months a year
Texas is gonna need a lot of immigrants to clean up this mess.
I don’t see them using a dozer to make a burn line. Tractors and plows can do it. You till up the dirt so there is no grass to burn. National Forest Service should be doing this.
There’s some photos of it. Just not as many plows out there as it is mostly pastureland for hundred plus miles east west and south.
What wildfire? I don’t see anything. It’s another GOP conspiracy.
Trump told states to rake their forests to prevent wildfires. Why is Texas full of RINOs?
Be careful what you say, Texans. Remember when you said that you wished that the wild fires in California killed everyone there? Karma is catching up to you hypocrites.
when the GOV gets done picnicing at the river with trump and the NG he get right on this.
Don’t ask for any government aid as that’s socialism and abbot doesn’t want that.
Perhaps he can flip some paper towels out into the crowd
Democrats retaliation for closing the border.
So much for Abbott work, he need to resign
That’s so scary and heartbreaking. I pray for those who have fell victim to the wildfire 💔❤️🩹
Texas brought this on themselves.
Texas never liked the United States of America (except for federal funds) – build a WALL on the northern border of Texas and give Texas back to Mexico????
Prayers for all!
So many mean-spirited comments here. What happened to human decency and care for our neighbors?
Wildfires can be incredibly challenging and concerning for everyone involved, from those directly affected to the brave individuals working tirelessly to contain them. It’s a testament to the resilience and strength of communities and emergency services when they come together during such difficult times. The spirit of cooperation and support that emerges in response to natural disasters is always inspiring. Let’s hope for a swift and safe resolution to the situation in Texas, and our thoughts go out to all those who are putting in the effort to manage this crisis and to those whose lives are impacted. Stay strong and safe.
im not sure but i think the only thing that kills fire is sand ….
