HUMAN BEINGS. >> ON THE FASCINATING STORY, THANK YOU. >>> A FAST-MOVING WILDFIRE SCORCHING THE TEXAS PANHANDLE HAS GROWN INTO THE SECOND- LARGEST FIRE IN STATE HISTORY. MULTIPLE WILDFIRES THROUGHOUT THE STATE FORCED EVACUATIONS AND TRIGGERED POWER OUTAGES, LEAVING MORE THAN 10,000 HOMES AND BUSINESSES IN THE DARK AREA TAKE A LOOK AT THE VIDEO. CATTLE IN THE PANHANDLE WERE SEEN RUSHING THROUGH THE SMOKE TO THE SAFETY APPROACHING PLANE. NBC NEWS CORRESPONDED SAM BROCK JOINS US. SAM, I UNDERSTAND YOU JUST GOT ANOTHER UPDATE ON WHEN HE FIRE STANDS? >> KATE, WE HEARD FROM AMARILLO OFFICIALS, HUTCHINSON COUNTY OFFICIALS. WE ARE GETTING MORE OF A PORTRAIT GUIDE. IN THESE REALLY SMALL PLACES, THEY MENTIONED THERE WAS SEVERAL DOZEN HOMES THAT DESTROYED. HALF THE TOWN APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN TOUCHED IN SOME WAY BY THE. TALKING ABOUT CITIES WITH THEIR.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THIS EVACUATION AS A WHOLE IN THE CONTAINMENT EFFORT? NEWS FOR SURE. IT IS NOT A BLANKET EVACUATION BY ANY. WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE BEEN EVACUATED. WE KNOW THAT PORTIONS OF CERTAIN AREAS, LIKE BORGER IS THE LARGEST CITY IN HUTCHINSON COUNTY. THEY ARE BRINGING FOLKS BACK IN. PORTIONS OF THE EVACUATION ORDER HAVE BEEN DISSIPATED.
