Marshall Fire in Superior CO

Even if it's some lefty trying to show how bad climate change is and how we all need to drive coal powered Teslas, they will blame it on some guy shooting an automatic machine gun with a silencer on his ghost gun that shoots tracers.

Hope everyone that is up North is okay. Hundreds of homes and families displaced, and if anyone needs a place to spend the night, please yell.

I watched Sheriff Pelle this morning field those questions about the cause, and I take him at his word that there is an ongoing investigation. I'm not one to give too much credit to the "journalists" out there, but there were a number of questions about the cause asked by I believe a number of different reporters - Hopefully we'll get some answers.

I have not really watched much local news the last 5 or 6 years. Local news has been leaning left for years but once Trump became politically popular they basically became local CNN affiliates. At any rate, like many in the area I watched the local channels yesterday, 4, 7, 9, 31, to try and get info and holy smokes I didn't expect to get a dose of liberalism thrown at me during an emergency situation. Lots of subtle digs at conservative ideas, blaming global warming, and clearly republicans are to blame for all this.



Weatherman Mike Nelson made sure and directly blame Global Warming and fossil fuels for this thing, while Karen's favorite soy boy Kyle Clark claims that thankfully we now have sane politicians in charge and we should rest assured that they will lead the recovery efforts.

It used to be that real news was exempt from the spin, at least in emergency situations while they were happening... Guess those days are loooong gone!

All$$ and it is scripted.
This is why long ago, some cnbc people left to fox News.
(Actually main reason for leaving is most likely the salary)

All we need is copycat arsonists.

Interesting. There is a lot of inconsistency in that report. The Inci web plot does not include the new supposed point of origin closer to the city limits. What I saw was not down in the creek bottom.

As soon as the winds started we were hearing news of power lines down, sparks, and transformers blowing up. Before the fires ignited.

I have 2 friends who lost their homes and at least 2 more former colleagues who I've not been in touch with for ~2 years, but based on the map, presume they've lost theirs also. Truly unimaginable and heart breaking.
The snow and cold today is salt in the wound too.
Prayers for all of the affected.
