  1. This is biblical.The word of God says.There will be one disaster after another around the world..The funishment has come like a plant sprouting, buddling and flowering.The end is coming

  2. Technically everything that happens is historic, NBC News is just trying to get clicks via sensationalism

  3. The 2024 purge has begun!๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  4. "climate change ain't real."

  5. So many terrible comments about a disaster You people are acting like Facebook. Go be trolls elsewhere

  6. The farmers releasing cows is their last resort. Federal fire should have been called DAYS AGO. WE SMELL IT IN OKLAHOMA!!!

  7. they on they own!!hee haw๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  8. This fire sure is suspicious. Seems like our government spent out of the game. Using harp to destroy property and land in Texas. Has a warning for what's going on at the border. They don't like texas's interference with this phony government we have going right now

  9. I guess they should have raked the fields and forests huh?

  10. In my opinion, these fires are burning just like Hawaii and California fites. Look at the tree's not burnt up, but metal, melted. hm

    hm, means nothing. Nothing we can do about these targeted fires. Praying for Mercy on people in their path.

  11. GLOBAL WARMING. Al Gore has been right the whole time. The filthy rich and their handlers in GOVT. expect for people to ADAPT. This is how we adapt.๐Ÿ˜…

  12. Along with FL, it couldn't happen to a 'better' state.

  13. Texans attitude say they are big, humble up, y'all got big small folks.

  14. What or who caused the fire. I remember when a campfire would get of hand and they would find out who did it. Now they are all a mystery.

  15. Image, grasslands burning, they always have and always will. The Indians on the plains burnt the prairies for millenniums, this is nothing more than manโ€™s arrogance thinking nature will stop at their front door. My mother in-lawโ€™s family lost their farmhouse 70 years ago to a prairie fire!

  16. Mybe when you rebuild don't use wood use rock or bricks and if you plant anything grow native vegetation as that will reduce water use and likely not burn as well as some of the trees we planted like pine or cotton trees just saying.

  17. Oh no ! A Republican Maga state is burning ? All these evangelicals prayer can't stop this ?
    Ps..I saw Obama driving through Texas, throwing cigarettes into fields. Pass it around….

  18. Prayers to the people thats why when I turn 18 I want to go into fire service because I know my county in Kansas might have the same issue like last year fire.

  19. i can smell the smoked brisket from here in AZ.

  20. ๐Ÿ’ฉ texas has always been a figurative dumpster ๐Ÿ”ฅ, now it is a literal one ๐Ÿ’ฉ

  21. ๐Ÿ’ฉ texas: FEDERAL GOVT BAD
    ๐Ÿ’ฉ also texas: about that faderal aid . . .
    ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ’ฉ

  22. I didnt want to jinx it, but I was thinking 2024 is starting off pretty quiet. No new deadly viruses. No aliens. Then we get a record breaking wildfire. ๐Ÿ˜ I'm afraid to even think things are going easy bc the universe is like, "Oh is it too quiet for you" BAM๐Ÿ’ฅ
    sends a disaster

  23. Texas is independent. We don't need federal help.
