Um...so remember that I wasn't worried about the latest big fire (and I was wrong, there aren't four big wildfires...it's actually eight)? Yeah. Last night when I went to bed they were evacuating people *to* Woodland Park. As of right now they are evacuating people *from* Woodland Park to Divide (which is where I am). It moved that fast. In our direction. It's still at zero containment and they don't expect it to be contained any time soon. When I go outside and look there is essentially a wall of smoke over the ridge and the air is so hazy that it's a little hard to breathe.
I think it is still unlikely it will get this far, but given that I didn't think they'd be evacuating Woodland Park today...um. I'm...just gonna go repack my evacuation bag now.

I hope it doesn't get out as far as Divide. That is really scary, but I know how dry Woodland Park is.
Take care of yourself and let us know how things are going.

Yeah, it's creepy out there right now. The big worry for us is more that it goes around Woodland Park than through it. Because there ain't nothing but forest between there and here, one big stretch of ready to blow fuel and little they would be able to do about it from a firefighting perspective. If it does that we'll probably end up evacuating tomorrow.

Stay safe. I'm thinking dampening thoughts in your direction.
