Colorado is burning - the great fires of summer 2012
This is just insane.
I've lived in Colorado my entire life and I have never seen anything like this before. The fires in Colorado are at epic proportions and there is no sign of stopping them anytime soon. The worst fire was the one near Fort Collins but that has quickly been overtaken by the Waldo Canyon fire near Colorado Springs. Jere is an MSNBC report on it... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47974222.../#.T-spFytYtmo How would you like to wake up to this....  I pray that all of the evacuees, firefighters, and anyone else involved remain safe. As for us... we are smack dab in the middle of both giant fires and while we live just a stones throw from the mountains there are no fires directly threatening us in any way which is a blessing. |

My cousin is a firefighter out there in Colorado. I pray he and everyone else stays safe.

A new one started above Boulder last night. They are on pre-evac. My niece is there and my brother's family is in Monument, which is under pre-evac. My brother's work is in full "evac because we are going to lose this building" mode.

My wife and I are supposed to be heading to colorado for Vacation.... we are probably changing our plans.
Our family friends we were going to meet live on the hillside in Colorado Springs are are packing now. They are on full evac as well. They back up to one of the small canyons... full of dry brush. Thinking about them...

This is crazy. To give some perspective, that building is Falcon Stadium.

My goodness that is an amazing shot. Prayers for everyone involved in fighting it or in it's way.

The huge Ft. Collins fire is pretty much out and the Waldo Canyon fire is about 55% contained. There are several other fires but none of them were as bad as those two. |
