| This morning at 6:00, wind is 17 mph. No snow yet. We were evacuated during the night, but evacuation for us has been lifted. Not even worrying about what to grab. All that is loaded in the car are my camera and 2 laptops. Everything else can be replaced, or is not important at this point. Life is what is important. This is the most horrific thing Colorado has ever gone thru. Metro area residences, high rises, hospitals, Targets, Costco’s, etc. are never expected to burn to the ground. Highest wind gust has been 115 wpm. 7 injuries, but they are expecting deaths from people refusing to evac. Yesterday due to wind, not able to get airplanes up. Still dark. Hoping can get planes up once it gets light. Electricity shut off. Expecting single digit temps tonight. |
