There’s ongoing coverage here of a good-sized fire north of Boulder. A good number of homes have been evacuated and as of 8:10PM MST the fire covered 6,400 acres and was still uncontained. The problem is that it has been very windy here with gusts over 50mph. The lower of the two videos on that page (as I write this) gives you a pretty good idea of what the wind has been like.

So far our area has not been evacuated, and I doubt that the fire will come close enough to warrant our departure. The fire is north and west of Boulder; we’re north and east of Boulder. The wind has died down also, so hopefully they’ll have it contained soon.

Yes, it is a little disconcerting nonetheless.
