Selective quoting Saturday.

Nope it didn't, that isn't going to bring back a whole bunch of my friends houses. You have anything to say or just picking and choosing to talk shit, honest question?

**zartagen** · 06-24-2012, 03:12 PM

I just wanted to say that being concerned about fires is a legitimate topic to discuss. I didn't say anything back then because I didn't want to jinx getting any rain. My superstitions obviously did not pay off.

On a more positive note, it looks like it could rain any minute now in summit, but I'm only hearing thunder.

**guroo270** · 06-26-2012, 01:01 PM

Does anyone know anyone that has been displaced from their home from the fires?

**The SnowShow** · 06-26-2012, 02:44 PM

Looking like a little rain falling west of Denver and in FC?

**SkeezeBall** · 06-26-2012, 02:51 PM

I'm seeing lots of lightning around my place next to Indian Peaks Golf course in Lafayette right now. My wife just took this picture of a new fire behind Flagstaff House restaurant behind Boulder.

**guroo270** · 06-26-2012, 03:37 PM

Isn't that the one I just posted a picture of, or is this yet another one?

**Hott Butt Mud** · 06-26-2012, 03:47 PM

Pre-evacuation orders to City of Boulder homes near edge of town (931).

**PowTrees** · 06-26-2012, 06:12 PM

We're in freaking deep this summer, big trouble!! Kathy Sabine said last night the models are showing a second high pressure ridge coming in behind the current one. Prayers for those already in the fires path. Need to start moving some things to my better protected office space and prepare my evacuation bags.

no joke...I don't think we'll have any hint of monsoon for at least another couple weeks. Even then, it's going to be a long summer. Hearing the Waldo canyon fire just got worse in the last few hours, +++ vibes to everybody affected by all these fires in the state.

**guroo270** · 06-26-2012, 06:48 PM

Just got about 100 drops of rain, lots more clouds, and it went from about 3mph winds to 30 mph winds. Looks like just more winds and possibly more lightning.

**MotherFucker** · 06-26-2012, 07:30 PM

Cross-post from the thread in PR:

Headed out to get a few vantage points of the fire. Nothing worth noting except there was some visible crowning that could be viewed from the south side of the fire and the smoke plume was blowing mainly east northeast of the fire line. Was taking shots from 4:40 to about 6:30 and didn't see them start dropping tanks of anything 'til 5:15ish. On the way home down 93 to 72, we saw multiple cloud to ground strikes around Golden and could even make out the plume of the Waldo Fire down in the Springs.

From the east on the Boulder Overlook off US36:

From the southeast near a closed open space (heh):

Also from the southeast:

Again from the southeast. You can see a slurry bomber heading in for a drop to the left of the plume:

From the south:

Also from the south:

**Hott Butt Mud** · 06-26-2012, 08:10 PM

Wow! The Waldo Canyon fire in the Springs looks really bad right now. Looks like an entire neighborhood is going to get hit. Also the Air Force Academy is being evacuated.
