“Just like Iraq, just like the Murrah building in Oklahoma!”-D.L. Wilson, Texas DPS

The Texas Department of Public Safety just held a press conference.

More than a hundred wounded.  Deaths, but no confirmed numbers.  Gas lines being shut down.  Winds fanning fire.  Up to 75 homes lost.  Apartment complex destroyed.  Nursing home damaged.  Fire at factory is not contained because there are no fire crews there.  Factory is too hot, and emitting toxic fumes, can’t get fire crews in.   Evacuations are mainly because of winds blowing the fire.  No need for civilian volunteers, plenty of EMS coming from all over Texas.
