Boulder Burning

Are you all covering the Boulder wildfire at all?  Fourmile Fire, 7000+ acres burning, Boulder in a state of emergency, Fed is taking over, homes lost, air tankers dropping fire retardant and water to contain it.  Here is a Google map of the fire and evacuation.  This photo was shot on Monday evening, this one from last night, and many more from the Denver Post. The timelapse was taken on Monday night.  Check out Twitter #boulderfire for lots of info.

"There was something majestic and beautiful about it, although it's terrible that some people lost their homes," Esposito said after he took a clandestine tour on Tuesday.
