 A giant wildfire burned out of control in Texas and destroyed an area larger than Rhode Island. It's a rural area, sparsely populated, but several towns had to evacuate and a nuclear weapons facility in the area shut down. One person is dead, an 83-year-old woman. 1.1 million acres burned as of the end of February 2024, and the fires were still going days later. Zero percent contained, said the Forest Service on February 28th.
