18,000 Acres of beautiful forest. Gone. :-(
We haven't been evacuated yet but are still on stand by. The fire is only 5% contained. It's pretty devastating.

Update! 70,000 + acres have now been burned. It's absolutely devastating.
I really feel for you through this. Fire is one of my greatest fears. We had our field and barn burnt down my a neighbor kid's errant bottle rocket when I was a kid, and my mom saved all our animals. This is the first summer that Colorado has not been swept by wildfires - we have had unusually high rainfall and I am so thankful for that. Last year my young horse that was for sale had to be evacuated from the trainer's property. I hope this one stays downwind from you and the people, animals and wildlife affected are in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteOh no, oh no, this is so awful, and scary. Please stay safe. Will be thinking of you and praying that it is more contained very soon, and stays away from you.
