Re: Colorado is burning...
I have been listening to the Fire/EMS scanner all night long. It was pretty quiet up til about 3 AM when the winds started kicking up embers and spot fires. A lot of the houses that already burned are burning again due to these winds, and I heard at least one house that survived the initial onslaught was burning as the winds moved embers around.

This is terrible.
I hope the sky bursts with tons and tons of rain over Colorado.

Ryan;
We've only had smoke one day. Two nights ago could see fire reflection on clouds to the North. With US24 closed, US50 is like Denver's rush hour. Last Sunday even Phantom Canyon had a lot of traffic.

Have just seen footage of this on our TV news. So sorry for all those affected, it must be a very frightening experience.
Hope your family are safe Ryan

Re: Colorado is burning...
Monsoons just started down here, and I don't know if they ever end up in your neck of the woods.
Hang in there. My mountains were burning this time last year and it was pretty scary watching the flames get closer every night and watching the evac lines creep closer to our neighborhood. The community pulled together in the most amazing ways, too.

Re: Colorado is burning...
In case anyone is interested, here is the PDF map of the affected area in the Springs. Green means no visible damage, yellow means visible damage, and blue means total loss. Pretty amazing to me that they were able to save so many homes.
