Most destructive wildfire in Texas history

In 2011, the county of Bastrop, TX (33 miles southeast of Austin) experienced what has been deemed the most destructive wildfire in Texas history.  I, myself, have never been personally affected or had up close experience with a wildfire.  However, I moved to Austin in 2012 and saw the aftermath of a tragic fire   Bastrop county was and is a beautiful, green forest consisting of many tree species, mostly elm, oak, juniper, and pine. 

Over 34,000 acres of this beautiful forest was burned and destroyed, millions of dollars of property destroyed, and worst of all, 2 deaths.  Many areas burned to the point of no rehabilitation.   It was determined the likely cause of this fire was sparks from power lines.  Due to wind gusts, trees toppled into these power lines creating sparks.  And then unfortunately, that same high wind continued to carry and spread the fire quickly.   Fires from power lines were created on both the north and south ends of this forest.   Bulldozers and pumpers were brought in to fight the fire, as well as Helicopters to dump water.  This fire actually jumped the Colorado River more than once.   It was reported to last from September 4^th through October 10^th as the official 100% containment date.
