Your Worst Vacation Home Nightmare: 160 Homes Destroyed in Possum Kingdom Lake

Share News:

The team of federal firefighters and officials from several U.S. agencies has joined local forces to battle that North Texas blaze that has burned nearly 150,000 acres over in Possum Kingdom, about 70 miles west of Fort Worth. About 160 homes have been destroyed since the fire started a week ago, according to authorities. The blazes have also taken the life on one firefighter. This is what’s left of a large home at Possum Kingdom. It almost looks like the smouldering Thornfield at the end of Jane Eyre.

    The other day, I thought about what could have been. A few years ago, we were VERY close to buying land and building a weekend home in PKL. So sad for the homeowners there. Would have never imagined such a natural disaster.
