This is an unbelievable scene with entire blocks of subdivision homes in flames. Sorry for the Fox link, but it's local Denver and they're doing a pretty good job.

1. Thanks for the update

My daughter lives in Boulder. It's very scary.

Welcome to DU, by the way.

3. Boulder should be good...

The winds are easterly off the Flatirons. The fire is east of Boulder.

And she just flew back there after being with us for Christmas.

2. The local Fox news station has little to do with Faux.

They are actually pretty good and have a larger budget than the other stations.

5. Yep

At least they don't regurgitate RW BS from Faux news. 99% of their coverage is local.
