United States: Texas faces largest fire in its history. A catastrophe that US President Joe Biden attributed to the effects of climate change.
Five fires remain “ active ” in the northern part of the state. Smokehouse Creek, which had already ravaged some 435,000 hectares on Thursday, is only “ 5% ” contained and now also affects part of neighboring Oklahoma. Officials at the Turkey Track Ranch in the area said they lost 80 percent of their 32,000-acre property.
