Nearly 600 homes have been destroyed in the #MarshallFire – along with hotels, shopping centers and businesses. The fire had burned 1,600 acres and was still growing Thursday night.
The most destructive wildfire in Colorado history was the Black Forest Fire. It burned more than 14,280 acres and destroyed 511 homes in 2013. The two fires on Thursday have already destroyed at least 580 homes in only 1,600 acres.
Yeah that’s a huge amount of damage. I typically say bad things about Boulder, which is where all the hippies live, but I’m withholding those remarks today.
