NextImg:Scenes From the Smokehouse Creek Fire in Texas

The Smokehouse Creek fire is the largest on record in Texas. Since it started on Monday, the blaze has burned over a million acres of land in the state’s Panhandle, much of which is cattle country.

The fire, which spread around the town of Canadian, is still largely uncontrolled. It has devastated cattle ranches, destroyed homes and killed at least two people. It is now one of the most destructive fires in U.S. history, and conditions are expected to worsen over the weekend.

Here’s a look at the damages from the fire so far.
