Didn’t take long to stop wondering what to write about today. The valley between Denver and Boulder is notorious for winds coming down el-Dorado canyon. It turned epic today, after fanning flames sparked by it’s own downed power lines(?). We’ll see how the investigation goes. How ironic just the other day, we jailed the truck driver who started the last big fire over there. This is happening between 10 and 20 miles SW of here and looking real bad:
Not sure how it could happen in a populated area with big streets and open areas like this. There were gusts over 100mph recorded. Talk about bad timing. It’s certainly awful dry. Now it’s black instead of brown – not up in the mountain forests – neighborhoods in the suburbs. It’s being called a firestorm – like WWII Dresden or Tokyo.
