As most of you know I lived out there for six years and recently moved down to Virginia. The fires in Waldo Canyon which is just east of Colorado Springs has become MASSIVE! As of last night it is 1/4 mile away from the base housing of the Air Force Academy and with record temps highs and record humidity lows there doesn't look like any help from mother nature. Here is a website you can use to track it: http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/ You can fiddle with the filters to get a better look. Absolutely fucking bananas. |

Although the functions of this map are pretty awesome, the situation which it is needed for is crazy scary. Hopefully they can get it contained before it does too much damage! |

Man, I used to live in this little house on the side of a mountain in Manitou springs, this really hits home. F-ing hellish looking from the pictures i've seen, I hope those people get some relief soon, and that too many houses arent burned down. |

Dude really? Manitou Springs? The home of hippies and meth? Nice! It's knocking right on the door of Manitou man. Up north of there towards Woodland Park is where I got stuck last March. This is just absolutely crazy. I sure am glad that global warming crap is all a hoax! |

Yup, Manitou. Right behind this old fort actually. Every fourth of july they'd blow off fireworks right in the valley, since I was up a ways on the side of the mountain, it was like they were exploding right in front of my house...it was the shit. Looking at the map now, I can only imagine what kind of nightmare landscape it must be at the moment. |

Been in Boulder the last few days, a few miles from the Flagstaff Fire. Wednesday night it was pretty smoky around here. Not much since then until tonight, but apparently they were doing backburns to contain it which created more smoke. Flying in on Wednesday evening into Denver, went through a lot of smoke from 20,000 feet on down. Definitely was smoke, not clouds. |
