Crews battle wind-whipped wildfire in Texas Panhandle Ilana Lemack

Firefighting crews made some headway Monday against a wind-whipped wildfire in the Texas Panhandle. The Double Diamond Fire in Hutchinson County is now 65% contained, up from 35% earlier in the day. The blaze has burned more than 2,500 acres and destroyed 131 structures and at least 2,100 people to flee their homes. The wildfire started late Sunday afternoon and was driven by strong, shifting winds. The cause has not been determined.
