Smokehouse Creek Wildfire is largest in Texas HISTORY

Tags

The Smokehouse Creek Fire is officially the largest and most devastating fire in Texas' history - with the killer inferno burning through over 1.1 million acres of land.

As of Thursday, the record-breaking wildfire has scorched through 1,075,000 acres and is three percent contained, with thousands of people evacuating their homes. 

Ghastly winds coupled with the raging flames have charred huge swathes of the Panhandle - and the wildfire is now the equivalent size of the whole of Rhode Island.

In a stark contrast, snow is falling across some parts of the Panhandle - leaving a blanket of snowfall over the blackened earth and dead livestock.
