It's nothing to joke about. Did disaster assistance years ago for a similar event, only in that one three people died. Two while they were running down the street trying to escape.

Horrible situation in Colorado. Last I read there are no deaths but 2 missing. Given the speed of the wind and density of houses it’s amazing there wasn’t great loss of life.

There’s a video on Twitter of a shed/small barn burning that looks to be the point of origin. It’s on land owned by a group called twelve tribes. Fire Dept has ruled out the downed power line theory.

I’m not laughing.
