It's been dry as shit here for the past 3 months. Fast winds and super flammable grass are what the issue was today. The mountains get snow in December usually, but the front range and eastern plains usually just get cold air and wind with no moisture.
For a cold place with snow, it is surprisingly dry in Colorado. Weather along the front range is very unpredictable. Wind coming from Canada runs like a river through the passes of the higher mountains, becomes warm from friction, and spills onto the prairie at high speed--in Denver you could hear it roaring along and wake up from a foot of snow the night before to all melted, 60 degrees. Louisville is in a very flat place already. Any little spark at the wrong time could do this. It's bad now because it's all built up. When it was just grass and tumbleweeds as it was when I was a child, it wouldn't have been such a disaster.
Remember when liberals cheered over the tornado that hit Kentucky? This our chance to show them we are not hate mongers like them. This is how we mend.
They said someone was arrested three days ago who set fire to the grass at the CU campus a few miles from where this fire started. Don't doubt it. Now Polis gets to play governor and look like he's doing something. Gotta win hearts and minds so you can get reinstalled
Please dear God, comfort these poor souls....
Does Colorado have wild fires in the winter? I've either never heard of this and it isn't a thing or it is and I'm retarded

So dry cold air can start fires? Damn I didn't know that.
No, but cold dry air moving fast enough that it knocks over power poles with transformers on them can

no wonder everyone's getting sick, we're breathing that stuff
These houses all made from fiber board and tag board and parked 10ft apart doesn't help much either...
Interesting. Thanks for sharing that info. I've actually never been to Colorado and now that I think about it, I have no idea why lol
Cold, windy and shitty, or hot windy and shitty usually, sometimes both in the same day!

False flag
