Texas doesn't have anything on this town. I remember when I moved to Lubbock, TX for school I saw a giant tumbleweed coast by as I walked to class. I realized that's when I was really in west Texas.

Authorities are unable to help with the clean-up because the tumbleweeds do not pose a fire threat, reports say.

Say what? Exactly how is a wall of dry grass 8 feet high against your house not a fire hazard?

Just saw this on the local news.

Really, how is this not a fire risk? It is tinder.
