The fires in the state that aren’t yet contained include a 250,000 acre blaze burning in Hutchinson County.

A nuclear weapons facility in the Texas Panhandle said it had evacuated some staff Tuesday amid wind-fueled wildfires that covered thousands of acres and prompted the governor to issue a disaster declaration.

The Pantex Plant, which handles nuclear weapons, said it was monitoring the situation but that there was no fire on the plant site. All weapons were safe and unaffected, the facility said.

    I assume that they’ll start the secession talk again as they get their funds from the Federal government.

      FEMA should respond by putting razor wire around all the affected areas. You know , to keep out undesirables like the Governor. They won’t, though, because they are not assholes and take their mission seriously.

        That sounds great, but it just means rising costs for the rest of us to cover the revenue loss from those states. An interesting consequence could be states removing insurance requirements, though…
