Not so pretty good.....

UPDATE:  Our voluntary evacuation order has currently been lifted, so we just have to watch the news and keep the phone close by.  We got some cloud cover, and the winds died off.  We really hope they can get a handle on this quickly as that beast got out of hand really, really fast!  Fire is now over 2000 acres as of 8 PM news conference.


There is a wildfire burning out of control in Waldo Canyon, just west of Colorado Springs.  Our neighborhood has just been put on voluntary evacuation alert.  Mandatory evacuation line is currently only 2 miles south of HT central.  We are currently sitting in front of the computer with our vehicles loaded, ready to head east.  Not a good feeling in the pit of the stomach.....

Latest pic from the end of our driveway - not good.  Fire is up to 1,000 2,000 acres and just started at noon.  We are still on standby...
This is not going to turn out well...
