Evacuated
The 200-acre fire is now over 3,000 acres. Homes are disappearing and the fire is still growing.
We got out safely. Oscar Dog is cowering at the shelter. Ian is hanging with a friend. Finley, Fiona, The Wife and I are spending money at the Marriott in downtown Boulder. The babies are going ape shit. From the hotel roof I can see smoke billowing, planes circling, flames spreading.
The ridge behind our house is burning. The valley glows red. I can see where we live. OK for now.
glad you are safe.
I thought about you guys this afternoon – happy to hear you’re in a safe, less smokey place. I’m watching from my house at the bottom of Lee Hill and the glow is dying back a little. I hope you and your neighbors find everything intact when you return, and may the return be swift.
sure hope you’re able to return home soon–can’t imagine what it must be like to evacuate your home and then just sit and wait…all the best!
Glad to hear you all are alright! If you need a place to stay you all are welcome to come up to Evergreen.
Glad to hear you all got out safely. Fingers crossed for your home.
