"I live in Sedona, and we have been having dry lightening all afternoon and evening. I am very leary - as I have many trees - and everything is SO dry!"

While I don't mean to minimize the wild fires in Colorado, if Sedona were to go up in flames, it would be a national loss. It would be the same as if the peaks in Monument Valley (Utah) fell, or if Half Dome fell into the Yosemite valley. Sedona is the only place like it on the planet, IMHO. Without its greenery to contrast its red rock, it would not be the same.

Best to you in Sedona, and best to all in Colorado. What a beautiful State CO is.

I've been tracking the fires tonight and they are incredible:

Here are some links for Freepers to examine:

Colorado Wild Fires

Waldo Canyon Fire

This is amazing. The Temp has dropped 30+ degrees in the last 90 minutes. The weather forecast has changed while I was watching with rain now predicted throughout the I-25 Corridor tomorrow! Praise God!
