Don’t know if either of you have or know of a CO ping list. I’m in Superior watching the smoke blanket Boulder. Winds have picked up again.
Maybe the smoke will drive away the Boulder hippies...wait, what am I thinking? They thrive in smoky environments.
I called my wife out several hours ago and said “do those clouds look strange?” We took a ride down the road where we could see better and I thought OMG! The wind is really blowing here right now.
Why isn't this good news, instead of "fears"? Normally that would make it easier to fight, using previously cut access and lines, plus less available fuels.
Prayers for those in the path of this fire as well as those fighting it.
The owners of those homes on fire emitting carbon and CO2 should be taxed.
The owners of those homes on fire emitting carbon and CO2 should be taxed with the carbon tax.
Air tankers are just taking off, winds have died down enough. 7 news has had some video of homes burning, woman talking about her home burning down.
Boulder Dementia Syndrome (BDS) is a root cause of such disasters. When habitat is managed by faulty premises inherent in core legislative errors such as the Wilderness Act and the Endangered Species Act, one may safely assume the socialism infected on campus have sufficient of their graduates in the agencies to put into place regulations countering reasoned and prudent land/wildlife practices.
In the reasonably near future, look for an increase in the number of cougar trolling the streets of Boulder. These predators will not be late thirties to early uglies set, on heels and looking frat members.
I would expect to see an increase in the number of cougar skulking about on four very silent feet, prowling Boulder on the lookout for domestic animals to replace their food sources in the burned out habitats.
What goes around, comes around - this time hungrily.
Prayers for those in harms way and those fighting the fire. I hope they get it under control soon.
