The pictures of home burning on the edge of Colorado Springs that they are showing on the weather channel are terrible.
Yes. The fire is stretched out for what looks like a mile or more and it looks like it’s coming down into neighborhoods.
this reminds me of the history channel (?) “it could happen next” or something like that about a wild fire that takes out austin texas.
they just evacuated garden of the gods areas (the park had already been closed). this is surreal.
DH and son just met up with 86 yo father in law who finally agreed to leave. He is not in mandatory zone but surrounded by it on 3 sides by less than a block. They said traffic not too bad but nw Colorado springs eerily deserted. Can’t see much flame right now as smoke close to the ground. Thank God that grandpa agreed to spend some time with us in Denver and we were able to get him out of his neighborhood reasonably easily. Scary situation. Watching the live feed I was thinking this must be what London an d other cities looked like in the firestorms of WW2. The people near these fires need our prayers big time. I will be surprised if there is no loss of life
