Rain and snow are expected in parts of the Texas Panhandle starting on Thursday, bringing possible respite to the Lone Star state as firefighters continue to battle the largest wildfire in its history.

Up to 500 homes and businesses have been destroyed by the flames as of Monday, and at least two people have died: Cindy Owen, 44, and Joyce Blankenship, 83. Thousands of cattle have also either been killed or euthanized after being injured in the wildfires.
