Texas wildfires, whoa

I'm sure you've heard about the big Texas wildfires. The whole "everything is bigger in Texas", Texas Cadillacs, Big Steer, other big things, idk. I'm definitely not making light of the situation, just pointing out that in such a huge state, to people that might have never been there... yeah, its huge. Anyway here's some pictures to actually put it in perspective.

If overlayed with other non-Texas parts of the country, that's pretty friggen huge.

 
Here's to the Texans in harm's way. I really hope this is over soon. Good Luck.
