How awful.

Living in California, we see this all the time. It's the worse experience you can imagine with a fire storm heading your way. I spent some time fighting wild-fires in my youth. Personally, I'd rather face erratic tornadoes than a wild fire. At least they go away after their devastation and skip over homes and if prepared, you can duck into a ground shelter. Wild fires keep going and going, and once in their line, all homes go up.

BTW, where is Obama on this disaster? Oh right, campaigning for dollars. I remember Bush declaring one of the CA wild fires as a national emergency and sending out FEMA. It was just brush, but burning down lots of homes as is this CO fire.

“BTW, where is Obama on this disaster?”

Yep, Barry was in Boston at a black-tie campaign fundraiser banquet. He made some funny remarks about the Red Sox, seemingly without a care in the world. No mention of epic fires. There should have been more air tankers put into place four days ago, but Barry has better things to worry about. Totally asleep at the wheel...
