Thanks for the post Stan. It's good to hear those in Manitou Springs were able to return and there haven't been any homes lost (yet) in this fire. Thankfully, it also didn't quite "blow up" in acreage burned as quickly as the High Park Fire did, though we're not out of the woods yet. Keeping my fingers crossed for some precipitation soon.

Looks like I spoke too soon. Seeing some scary footage of the fire growing near Colorado Springs this evening. Not a good situation at all. Stay safe down there folks! :redface:

Yep, wind shift combined with thunderstorms caused 55 mph winds. The fire is probably 3 times bigger now.
