    Surprised there isn't a thread on this. Maybe I missed it.

    This is like the night Chicago died. It's horrific watching it on TV. It's only miles West from me. Likely not in danger. I have at least one friend, a shooting friend who was out at Pawnee shooting when I texted, that had to evacuate.

    Two entire cities have evacuated everyone. Louisville and Superior.

    Gunbarrel is where we lived when we first moved to Colorado. In 1972. I have had so many friends live in the same Gunbarrel Apartments as we did. I worked for Case Logic, now Thule, right there at Hwy 52 and the Diagonal right across from IBM for five years. Still have friends working there since 1988.
     
    That looks like mostly peaceful protests to me. Seriously, though , I've never seen anything like that here in Colorado my whole life. I've seen that smoke all afternoon to the south and thought it was odd being east of the mountains. My buddy had to evacuate his kids out of there earlier. He is snipershide member so maybe he'll chime in later.

    He owns a house about a mile from 52 & the Diagonal.

    We have friends that said there were flames 300ft from their house. I’m pretty sure everyone that we know that are close have left the area or are safe thankfully

    I misspoke. He is about a mile from 63rd & the Diagonal.

    This seems to be the most current map: https://bouldercounty.maps.arcgis.c...ndex.html?id=13ab214fe2bb4da5a850df0ca0f00fc5

    Looks like it is still south of Baseline Rd., which is good news for my brother….for now.

    Ever notice its lefty run areas that have massive wildfires?
    We can't clear the built up underbrush due the three toed spotted gink, but we'll let their entire habitat burn to the ground, and take human lives in the process.
    They are learning. As of 2022 they have lessened liability for controled burns in Kalifornia.

    In this current fire area it is almost all grassland however…..

    True 'dat. Up until the 60's, the hills west of Austin were mostly inhabited by cedar choppers, hillbillies that subsisted by cutting cedar posts for fencing. If a landowner wanted to reclaim areas on his property he let families of cedar choppers come in and clean out the scrub cedar. Now, if you cut a cedar tree down you have to replace it with an equal size tree. If there's ever a fire, and there will be, there's going to be some multi million dollar mansions going up too.
     
    There are people losing their homes, perhaps more, right now....and you tools want to bicker about forest management....classy
    Reality trumps feeling every time.
    The spotted owl might lose his habitat due to development, but he will certainly die due to forest fires.
    Leftys are parasitic hypocrites.
