If no one noticed I am in Colorado also. Thank you one and all for your thoughts and prayers. I have spent most of the day with a group of friends helping to run water to the people we can so that they do not get dehydrated while fighting this blaze of hell. And I agree with you PF on your thoughts.
And now for an update. As of 10pm loacl time the Haymen fire is up to 90,000 acres and is now 5% contained. It is spreading west and southwest I think. Which means that it has moved back over itself, so it is easier to be contained. When I was near the site, it was not fun and there was so much ash and smoke falling. Someone commented that it reminded them of a volcano when it explodes, without the lava.
The Glenwood springs fire is over 10,500 acres I believe and not sure how much is contained on that one. But it is defintely being contained at this point. The main problem with all of these fires is the winds that don't seem to be slowing much.
But once again thank you one and all for oyur prayers and thoughts.
