Waldo Canyon Fire

It's about 10 pm here in CO and I'm watching the local news coverage of the Waldo Canyon Fire. It is heartbreaking. 6,200 acres have been burned and 32,000 people have been evacuated from their homes. The camera is literally filming houses burning to the ground. Heartbreaking.

Craig is on base right now. Fort Carson is expecting 600-1,000 civilians tonight and he will  be setting up shelters and getting supplies.

Currently, the fire is only 5% contained. A fire of this magnitude has not been seen in this area in 40-50 years. We live about 15-20 miles away from the main fire area and Highway 25 sits between us and the fire. We're safe, but the fire is extremely volatile and the winds out here can make anything happen.

Please pray for Colorado Springs and for all the families that have been evacuated from their homes.

Driving home from Fox Run earlier today around 4:45 PM
