A nuclear weapons facility in the Texas Panhandle said it had evacuated some staff Tuesday amid wind-fueled wildfires that covered thousands of acres and prompted the governor to issue a disaster declaration.
The Pantex Plant, which handles nuclear weapons, said it was monitoring the situation but that there was no fire on the plant site. All weapons were safe and unaffected, the facility said.

I assume that they'll start the secession talk again as they get their funds from the Federal government.
FEMA should respond by putting razor wire around all the affected areas. You know , to keep out undesirables like the Governor. They won't, though, because they are not assholes and take their mission seriously.
Lmao imagine saying FEMA aren't assholes
Name one time that FEMA was an asshole? I would love to know. FEMA distribution gets fucked up by district politics, but I assume you are saying that FEMA activily told a group of people to go fuck themselves.

FEMAs ridiculously slow response to Katrina:

How difficult it was to work with FEMA and other federal resources instead of local assets
Well they sure won't start the climate change talk.
Oh just wait until insurance rug pulls all the policies this is what is going to kill Florida and Texas.
That sounds great, but it just means rising costs for the rest of us to cover the revenue loss from those states. An interesting consequence could be states removing insurance requirements, though...
