Mandatory evac orders are in place for multiple towns.

@JerichoReport is a good follow on Twitter. He is basically relaying scanner traffic and reports.

Burn victims are being received at UC hospital in Broomfield. Unconfirmed reports of busses evacuating Avista Hospital in Lousiville.

How are the hospitals receiving burn patients if they are already overrun with covid patients?

People need to live with trees. This is what happens in a dry field.

According to Twitter whole neighborhoods are becoming engulfed. Started as a grass fire and the 75 mph winds wreaked havoc.

Yikes.

They've gotten about zero snow on the front range this year, as you can see by the no snow in the picture. You get winds like these on the front range all the time in winter, but snow isn't as easy to burn as dry grass.

In this video you can hear the wind. Turn the volume down before you watch:

Clearly you haven’t been in a fire in Colorado forests. It’s worse.

Really unusual to be happening on the plains instead of the mountains. Wonder how much radioactive stuff is left at Rocky Flats that can be released into the air. It used to be where they manufactured plutonium triggers for nuclear weapons.
