Texas wildfire forecast hit the target, warns of impending disaster

 Sunday’s outbreak of 21 West Texas wildfires, which burned nearly 121,000 acres, occurred almost exactly as expected. An advance notice from the Texas Forest Service warned that a “powerful storm” with high sustained winds and gusts of 60 mph posed danger for much of the flat, dry region.
