Yeah I'm down in Westminster and earlier today I was like "oh FFS this better not rip part of the roof off." Knock on wood, so far I haven't had any damage thru several such events....
That does not sound too bad. I am seriously considering getting out while things are so far up, and remote work is now becoming easy to find. And lots of people are mentioning TN as a desirable place....
That may be hyperbole. I don't know how far past the edges of open spaces and such the fires are really advancing. Modern neighborhoods have big houses and small lots though....
OK so for those wandering in it wasn't this bad, reports are hundreds of homes rather than thousands. So obviously not great, but not ridiculous devastation either.
Yeah, I wasn't as worried on the high end as once fire hits suburbia it has a harder time continuing. You can see on the map how it basically got blunted. Less dense/edge neighborhoods being what got overwhelmed/wiped out.
Invalid question. It's up to the person asserting something is something, you can't disprove a negative.
Edit: Though at the suggestion of people on here, I did look into that particular theory and concluded it is utter BS. The amount of energy that the array in question can produce is miniscule compared to what actually drives the weather.
Could be this indeed - I'm never for sure (other than when it's unseasonably warm) if it's really a chinook event or not. Unless all downhill winds automatically are basically.
I am in Billings Montana today & its -3 with -18 wind chill. When this drops down to states with warm temps you can expect high winds & tornadoes in some states.
Yeah I have no idea about when something would technically qualify as a chinook or not.. but like you mentioned, I imagine it's a similar physics explanation for most downhill winds.
It seems sometimes the warming effect is at the lower end (as mentioned in your link more like 20 deg) and sometimes at the higher end. I really am not sure what drives that difference. I.e. sometimes we get snow one day then the next a chinook wind that's like 55 deg or something and the snow just vanishes.
When news reporters tell people what to do and to evacuate, something smells high to heaven. News reporters have no authority in this regard and are most certainly not qualified. They stink of sensationalism and are the last people to take advice from.
Well there are multiple evacuations going on that are real so considering lots of people turn to The News when anything is up it's probably ok that they relay the info. Sheesh.
People trapped in offices, stores, hotels and restaurants. Video footage on Twitter is absolutely terrifying
Prayers for all of you folks tonight!!
Local news and videos. here

Did you escape CO entirely or just the metro/burbs etc?
That does not sound too bad. I am seriously considering getting out while things are so far up, and remote work is now becoming easy to find. And lots of people are mentioning TN as a desirable place....
Edit - and Polis fucking sucks.
get out and water your property NOW!!!!!!!!!!! It's moving fast and HUGE! YOU ARE NOT SAFE!
Thanks fren, I'm monitoring...I'm pretty far down...smoke doesn't look any closer at this point.
Louisville is also burning, running through Neiborhoods entire delevopments are burning.
Ugh...
Not sure, I haven't found like a damage map or whatnot. I'd have sibling check with friend....
Edit: Update, you can zoom in with this:

discount tire in Arvada was just destroyed, not sure if fire related.
Where did you see this? I doubt fire related as checking maps I don't think there's a DT near any of the fires?
I did hear that this was due to high winds and not the fire.
Yeah I just saw report. Talk about a crap day at the tire store!
Wow, I hope no one is injured and no ones has to deal with any serious damage.
It's burning the whole city.
I wasn't aware it was that bad. Thanks for letting me know.
I am evacuating a fleet of employees right now. Whole areas of the county unsafe. This is BAD.
Just be careful out there. Don't risk it if you think you might get hurt.
Wow ok thanks for updates. Hard to tell what's going on exactly just from the news reports.
That may be hyperbole. I don't know how far past the edges of open spaces and such the fires are really advancing. Modern neighborhoods have big houses and small lots though....
I expect 20,000 homes gone today.
Oy, it's really tearing thru then. Yipes/crap.
OK so for those wandering in it wasn't this bad, reports are hundreds of homes rather than thousands. So obviously not great, but not ridiculous devastation either.
Reports I have found are 1,000 homes, it could have been a lot worse.

What is causing 110 MPH winds? A state away it is calm and clear.
It's common in this area just off the foothills. Relax, it's not fucking HAARP or whatever.
Can you prove it is not?
It was happening long before anyone ever thought of HAARP.
Invalid question. It's up to the person asserting something is something, you can't disprove a negative.

Yes on the latter part, they always do. That said, fortunately the areas in question aren't generally as wooded/forest etc, so not as intense.

Now looking at this thing now - this looks pretty much exactly like the downhill acceleration described for sure:

Sheesh, unless you have to do so to evacuate driving INTO smoke is full retarded.

Exactly. There are elderly people who only watch tv. For many, hearing it on tv would likely be their only way of getting out early enough.
Just to make sure I never said the evacuations were not real.
Or they're just helping get the word out from Police and Fire?
We're conspiracies.win now though.
Dunno.
Crazy!!!!
