Worst Wildfire in Colorado History

Described as the worst wildfire in the history of Colorado.  Over 600 homes and apartments destroyed and thousands evacuated.  Yesterday afternoon residents of the front range were being bombarded by warnings of a severe winter storm approaching.  Then high winds hit the area around Boulder.  This is not unusual but the  ferocity of the winds ( 105-110 mph),  bone dry landscape and one downed power line was all it took to set things into motion.  24 hours later we have several inches of snow on the ground ! I have posted here some photos and video.  Please consider helping those who have been devastated by this fire
