Apocalypse 2021: Wildfire destroying Boulder County

[I Should Coco]

We've had insanely strong winds in several locations across the U.S. this month.

Add 100 mph-plus winds to the tinderbox conditions of northern Colorado and that's a horrible situation.

Stay safe, MileHigh and CO.sj.com.

Please note: That was real-time video. It was not sped up. Yeah, that's how bad this is.

Sister says the wind is done in Boulder. But things are still going up like kindling everywhere. The morning will be beyond devastating.

 

[Driftwood]

Always coming and going
And going and coming —
And always too soon.

Baby, please, I am not from Havana.

The videos today were heartbreaking. Like the nightmare of Santa Rosa all over again. Hoping everyone is safe.

 

[OscarMadison]

Just horrible. Stay safe.

 

[MileHigh]

Sister is safe. Winds are down. Snow still about 20 hours out.

 

[MileHigh]

TV stations showing radar that there is rain and snow.

It's actually smoke.

Ugh.

Please note: That was real-time video. It was not sped up. Yeah, that's how bad this is.

WOW.

Wendy's video was terrifying, seeing fire move that fast.

It reminds me of one time as a kid, when we were on vacation with my step-father and all of his friends and their high school age kids. We were camped in an area that had a lot of weeds, and the older ones would start a fire and then beat it out with carpet squares. Until the fire got away and burned a good half-acre in what seemed like seconds.
