SUMMARY: The Smokehouse Creek fire in the Texas Panhandle has burned over a million acres, making it the most devastating wildfire in the state's history. Only 15% of the fire is contained, and it has destroyed cattle ranches, homes, and claimed at least two lives. Approximately 400-500 structures have been destroyed, but the final number is unknown. High temperatures, strong winds, and low humidity are making it difficult to fight the fire, with 13 aircraft currently aiding in the effort. Tankers from Texas A&M are scooping water from a lake to help contain the nearby Windy Deuce fire in Hutchinson County.

Firefighters in the Texas Panhandle are making slow progress as they continue to battle the largest wildfire in state history.

SUMMARY: Meteorologist Anthony provides an update on Hurricane Barrel, which is nearing northern Mexico with a well-defined eye, moving West Northwest at 15 mph and winds at 65 mph. Expected to intensify, it’s shifting rightward, affecting Corpus Christi less and potentially hitting Matagorda Bay directly by Monday. A hurricane watch is in effect from Matagorda County to South Texas, with storm surges from three to five feet. Concerns stem from potential rightward movement towards Southeast Texas, not stalling like Harvey in 2017. Models show varying impacts, but significant rainfall (up to 7 inches) is expected in Southeast Texas, with flooding risks on Monday and Tuesday.

SUMMARY: Meteorologist Ali Terano reports that the storm system Barrel is headed towards Texas, expected to enter the Gulf of Mexico as a tropical storm. Over the next 24-36 hours, it may intensify to Hurricane strength by Sunday night. The storm’s track has shifted eastward, with landfall now anticipated near Corpus Christi on Monday afternoon, potentially as a strong Category 1 or borderline Category 2 hurricane. The storm could bring 5-10 inches of rain, with isolated areas seeing over a foot, particularly impacting East and Southeast Texas. Warm Gulf waters and favorable conditions will likely aid the storm’s intensification. Residents should closely monitor updates.

Their story started when they participated in a session organized by Anita, owner of Sweet Day Photography, where they met as blindfolded strangers. Upon removing the blindfolds, DJ felt an instant connection, knowing Autumn was the one. Their relationship, now nearly a year long, led to DJ proposing at Lake Tyler, where their love story began. The couple hopes their experience inspires others to step outside their comfort zones. Their wedding is planned for November.
