Fire is totally out of control, incredibly strong winds, Superior is under immeditate evacuation orders, have a friend headed to my home now. Hope anyone impacted gets through this ok, so sad. Snow/moisture can't get hit quick enough.
We have some pretty good smoke out here. I can smell it indoors. A friend 7mi West of here had ash falling

Kdvr has live footage with the fire actively spotting in multiple directions.
Wow. You guys stay safe. It's kinda' hard for me to wrap my brain around that since we've been dealing with extreme cold and snow in the PNW for several days now.
I went to the truck to get some rape tape to seal my dog door and about hacked up a lung. That's a lot of smoke, real fast. And I'm 40 miles out
The 911 calls because the power is out, and therefore people can't open the garage are interesting. Guess nobody knows what the string hanging from the ceiling is.
This is nuts.

People evacuating Costco a bit ago.

West Metro Fire radio scanner has talk of possible smoke at Kipling and C470, engine in route.
If you are smart, you remove that rope & handle so no one jimmies your garage open and steal you blind.Quote:

Wish I could help, scanner chaos. Lots of need for horse trailers. Besides people I feel torn up for all the animals at home. Birds even without a fire could be dropping from this much smoke. No power wiping out saltwater aquariums etc
More crazy video from Costco earlier.
Fire literally in the parking lot when people evacd

Just saw it on the news. That's scary.
I have thought about this happening as I drive through some neighborhoods where the home are built so close together.
I am curious how they are going to spin this one as my fault... you know- the evil white middle-aged American male.

Real time view of the fire approaching a home a couple hours ago. It's crazy how fast it moved it!

Morons on facebook are praising the fire for cleansing covid in conservative enclaves.
Wow. I've never thought that grass fires could do this much damage to a subdivision. Will probably have a code change in the future with fire breaks and fire resistant building materials.
There are conservative enclaves in Boulder county?Quote:

500-600 homes destroyed?!?
Wow
Possible blown down power lines as the trigger for the fire... sounds like another state... even more so Kalifornia east...
Looks like it's expected to shift south.

I can host 1 horse if any member needs help. PM me if needed.
I'm not positive, but there may be better times for that sort of thing. Maybe.Quote:

My place isn't fenced, but I can house a dog or two if needed. Fenced in back yard for them. Can store trailers, campers, etc.
We could probably assemble a corral or something for a big critter. Just have to figure out panels
Waiting game now. We are (were) in old town Louisville. Not near open spaces. Fingers crossed.
