The Smokehouse Fire has torn across hundreds of thousands of acres of Texas land since igniting Monday afternoon. Its explosive spread is tied directly to the dry, warm and windy conditions that dominated the Texas Panhandle Monday and Tuesday. --- "We would have no NBA possibly if they got rid of all the flopping." ~ Dwyane Wade ...

Assuming their facility is doing everything properly: nothing that bad. Like, obviously everything burning is a problem but if they have all of the dangerous materials that they can't take away insulated properly there shouldn't be the the apocalypse-like result that comes to mind when someone hears about problems from a nuclear facility. That said, I don't want to say the betting odds about the facility actually doing everything properly. That costs money and this is Texas. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome? Thweeet!" My FC is in my profile. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Responsible for assembling and disassembling Americas nuclear arsenal, the plant has halted all operations because the nearby fire is out of control. Focus has shifted entirely to evacuations, with a few non-essential personnel seeking shelter on-site So did they just leave the janitor behind or something?

The nukes will be fine. The place is built such to account for fires starting on the inside. Worst case scenario they'll have to build a completely new bunker. This will just come out of the defense budget though. It won't impact anything else.
The damage to the surface of the state in general is the real problem. Technically if this happened in the middle of the cold war, USSR might have used it as a tactical advantage but we don't really have anything like that to worry about. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg ...
