This Is Important, You Should Watch It of the Day: To illustrate the lethal celerity of the 2011 Texas wildfires, the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department released this footage of a wildfire consuming the 6,000-acre Bastrop State Park, where, as of Tuesday, all but 100 acres have been blackened while firefighters battle to save a number of historic Civilian Conservation Corps cabins. 

Over 3.5 million acres — an area larger than the entire state of Connecticut — have been scorched since December. According to the Texas Forest Service, “Six of the 10 largest wildfires in Texas history occurred in 2011.”
