Waldo Canyon fire
I wanted to post some pics from my phone, but the lj mobile app won't allow it for some reason. I think it is a combination of the new scrapbook and the fact that I no longer have a paid account. Pics are on my fb page. Around 1600-1630 when the fire jumped the ridge and the flames became visible (though, the photos don't show) from the Springs. About an hour later, the wind really picked up and the view turned black. I think around 32,000 were evacuated from the northwest side of town, last night. It seems that the winds died down by this morning. The sky is very hazy. No huge plumes of smoke or visible flames from here on Federal Dr. Hopefully (with no rain in the forecast) that will be an advantage for the firefighting effort.
