Wildfires
The wildfires in Arizona now have covered over 20 square miles. The wildfire here in Colorado has spread from 980 acres yesterday to over 5,000 acres right now. There are mandatory evacuations in Larimer County, and multiple road closures. The Poudre Canyon fire began Monday and was first reported at a size of 10 acres... Flames have been seen shooting 10 to 15 feet above the tree tops, and you can smell the smoke in Boulder. Winds have been gusty and erratic today, and the winds are supposed to become very gusty tomorrow ahead of a cold front that is supposed to bring lightning, thunderstorms, and, hopefully, rain.
