Everybody out there, please keep the Colorado Springs area in your thoughts/prayers/etc. The wildfire west of here pretty much blew up this afternoon - it's covered everything that was between it and the city itself, and apparently there are houses inside the city burning now. From what I've seen on the news and what I can see from my house, there have to be at least 40-50 houses and buildings burning.
It looks like lots of people around here are going to lose their homes tonight. It doesn't help that we're seeing a record-setting heat wave around here (I think seven or eight days in a row over 100 degrees now), along with single-digit humidity and 20 mile an hour winds. There's rain in the forecast for tomorrow, but you can't put much stock in weather forecasts here.
It's incredibly eerie, there's a bizarre orange glow everywhere and there's several fires visible from my window.
