Colorado Springs is on fire, again. Uncontained wildfire tearing through residential neighborhoods - Polidicks

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;41011105]Wind changed direction again, going hard to the north-north east. I climbed the hill in front of my house to get above the ridge that separates my view of the fire. It sends shivers through my entire body, I can see the flames from up there, entire trees exploding into fireballs.[/QUOTE] Yap. Smells thick of smoke here in Aurora/Denver, now. Pretty Hazy all around, too. Reminds me of high humidity days near the coast. No blue in the sky, just gray haze.

Rancid smoke smell inside my office in Highlands Ranch. Visibility is about a mile. Things are better here in Castle Rock, though.

Man, the springs can never catch a break.

Denver stinks bad. I can smell it in this classroom in Auraria North building.

Taken from the top of Fillmore Hill. I chose this one in particular because you can see some spotty fires if you look closely below the outline of the hills in the distance.

They may or may not evacuate where I am now. The person I'm staying with can't tell if we're in an optional evac zone :v

[QUOTE=Mcdougle69;41000612]Counting down the days til they start in California[/QUOTE] It's freaky how even if you're not near the fire the smoke spreads and makes the sky turn really red when the sun's going up/down

[QUOTE=ZenX2;41013139]It's freaky how even if you're not near the fire the smoke spreads and makes the sky turn really red when the sun's going up/down[/QUOTE] At my work we had ash falling on us from a fire that was well over 60 miles away. The smoke dimmed the sun to a point that it looked like sunset at 11 o'clock in the afternoon. [editline]12th June 2013[/editline] Not this fire mind you, we had quite a few in Utah last year.

Littleton is really hazy, it got dark around 3 pm and you can smell the smoke and feel it in your eyes

CO springs is where the majority of my family lives, and I'm visiting there in a few weeks. hoping it gets put out soon.

I've realized that the worst thing about living in Colorado Springs right now isn't the threat of losing all my possessions in a fire, it's the fact that every time I open my windows I end up getting hungry.
