Boulder is only 10 miles from Louisville.....University of Colorado is in Boulder
We lived in that area for a while......both towns are historic, quaint towns,
We attended church in Louisville
We got use to high winds in Colorado....but this ‘thing’ was 100 miles per hour......and fast reaching.
My husband and I remarked it sounded Biblical....
Perhaps 100 or more folks were in a Lowe’s type place ....
...everything normal when they went in......but suddenly they were told to evacuate and walked out to thick smoke
Some folks only had mere minutes or seconds to escape
Alicia Acuna ....Fox reporter.....lives there, as well as other family members
Her husbands new restaurant caught fire and they don’t know if their homes survived
Devastating!
Wow. Yeah, it didn’t just destroy property but caused a lot of chaos. And it’s still going!
There was a video circulating yesterday of parents with children at a pizza restaurant - Chuck E. Cheese - realizing that there were flames outside the building and then running for their lives to escape. They had trouble pushing the door open because the wind was so strong, and once finally outside it was very smoky. I don’t know if the restaurant is still there.
Also - sorry to add to the previous post - Louisville is rural, but not small, so lots of folks don’t know about the big shopping complexes and stuff. And there are small ranches, big farms, and a lot of businesses. I bought a car in Louisville once!
My daughter lives in Longmont, and a brother in Loveland. The daughter posted a video of Chuck E Cheese’s when folks were enjoying the time with their families and then they couldn’t get out because the wind was blowing so fiercely.
My brother seems to be in an area where nothing happens, including weather.
‘Face
