Windy and dry weather conditions have led to numerous wildfires in Texas and Oklahoma, with smoke and dust filling the sky. In Texas, wildfires have ravaged thousands of acres, with 10 wildfires remaining uncontained in various regions. The Crabapple Fire near Fredericksburg has burned 8,640 acres and is 0% contained, while the Windmill Fire in Roberts County has burned over 23,000 acres and is 65% contained. Additional wildfires, such as the Rest Area Fire in Gray County and the Cottonwood Creek Fire in San Saba County, have also burned acres and prompted burn bans in 130 counties in Texas. Officials are working to contain the fires amid challenging conditions, with a Texas A&M Forest Service Large Airtanker dropping retardant over Roberts County. The situation is ongoing, and residents are urged to stay informed and take necessary precautions.
