Getting hot in Colorado
Fire season has started with a vengeance. Fire broke out in several spots this afternoon in several spots, one of which is right around the corner from the house. Fire is spreading fast to the NE, just jumped the main road north of me.
View looking north from my garage:
Army CH-47 Chinook from Ft Carson making a water drop:
Couple videos here, my take a minute to load. Might want to turn down the speaker volume due to wind static, but gives you an idea of what the firefighters are dealing with. http://s1195.photobucket.com/user/RDurb ... t=3&page=1
Royal Gorge area also has a large fire to the south of me near Canon City.

Evacuating now. No power due to burned lines and substations dropping out.
Fire is just over the hill from here

Wow, I hope they can contain it and keep it from you and your neighbors property. Bless those fire fighters too. Flying those planes into that inferno just seems crazy; god love'em.

Re: Getting hot in Colorado
Good news for us, bad for others, the wind shifted this morning and pushed the fire north and west very quickly.
Evacuation centers that were set up had to be evacuated again as the fire doubled back NW heading towards I-25.
Power is back on at the house, bags are packed by the door just in case we need to move out quick.
This is looking north from the south end of the development. Unfortunately this is only about a quarter of the visible fire line on the horizon. It extends far to the left out of the frame towards Colorado Springs.

Re: Getting hot in Colorado
Glad it's looking better for you. Keep us updated.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Re: Getting hot in Colorado
My cousins and their families were evacuated yesterday. They lived on the north side of CS towards Black Forest. I was there last year with the Waldo canyon fire. It's maybe the most frightening experience you could have. Stay safe Ray.

Re: Getting hot in Colorado
Glad to hear your good news. My grandson is headed to Colorado Springs this weekend for a week long stay. Will there be anything left when he gets there?
