  • @traffal000008 How are you planning to massacre 10000000 and find them out of 6800000000 in the world? death is a part of life. you watching NASA might be a scientific kind of guy, you know life ends some time, new rises and makes ever more.

  • @xXLifeObservedXx Texans giving US a bad wrap, just water your flowers

  • @harmageden

    Lol ad homs.

    But what do you expect from retards.

  • FEMA ...does that ring a bell ...well if it does , then ..WAKE UP !! " Hello mother , hello father , I'm incarcerated at Camp Fema " Nooo .. that doesn't work , does it !

  • @mecher3k ..Hello my friend ..are u in any way associated with a bureaucratic position ?

  • For some inconceivable reason, the national media only mentions the fires near Austin (the Bastrop complex) and Houston (Montgomery, Grimes, and Waller counties). But, northeast Texas has over 50,000 acres ablaze right now in Smith, Gregg, Cherokee, Anderson, Cass, Marion, Rusk, Henderson, Angelina, and Nacogdoches counties.

  • The Bastrop fire is actually the smaller plume on the bottom left. The large plume you see for most of the video is the Bear Creek fire in Cass/Marion county (northeast of Dallas, Texas). The river in view is NOT the Colorado, but the Red River. Just below this plume you can see a number of fires in Rusk and Angelina counties.

  • @harmageden If you think that human beings can cause floods, droughts, and earthquakes, you are purely a simple idiot. That is all that I have to say to you.
