Thread to cover incoming wind storm out here in Colorado. Gusts are already hitting over 100 mph in the mountains and the Boulder and Colorado Springs areas look like they are going to get hit hard. I got a bunch of wood stockpiled in case my power goes out and will probably get the camp stove out. Stay safe out there for all the other CO members.
This is a good Twitter feed that has real time weather updates:
BrandoComandoBro you'll just blow the wind back to the source. It'll come back with a vengeance
It's back with a vengeance!!
larilinesignIt's back with a vengeance!!
Oh shit i didn’t mean it like that. Stay safe boulder homies
Last night we were one of the next neighborhoods to be put on pre evac if the winds kept up. My basement room smelled heavily of smoke. The wind blew our fence down and broke our neighbor's tree branches into the street. Shit was the gnarliest wind I've ever experienced here. Beyond glad that things died down.
At the peak of the incident, I could see the damage and impact to be worse than that of the 2013 floods as there are now sooo many more houses and businesses in the area and the fire was spreading so fast. I'm so glad that's prolly not the case.

I saw a drone before and after shot and it was unreal to see an entire sub division just levelled. It was crazy because a few random houses were still standing but they are probably toast from smoke damage anyway unless the owner really knew how to seal it up. The scary thing is this kind of thing can happen anywhere on the front range. We always think of forest fires but not brush fires.
