I would like to say for those not heard that here in Colorado has the worse fires in state history now. I'm stuck in the middle of hell in COS. I'm doing the best I can with terrible smokes growing every second here. Man, this fires is making it hard to breathe with smokes growing and covering the area. High temperatures in 90s-100s and no humidity since Saturday. CO fires growing towards Colorado Springs homes, destroying homes, and I know fire fighters are doing the best they can as fires has grown to 15,000+ acres with only 5% contained.
No rain forecast at all but hot temp and no humidity all week.:(

Aw man :( Hang in there and stay safe. Don't get yourself into a situation you can't get out of. As for the environment, I hope it will recover.

A few weeks ago Big Finish's town, Centerville, Utah, also caught fire. I hope it doesn't happen again-- the game will be long delayed if Big Finish Games burns down! :shock:

So very sorry for you Ryan, and the whole state of Colorado. (One of the most beautiful places on earth.) I have been watching all of the coverage on the Weather Channel, and hope you, your family and friends make it through safely. A horrible, and horrifying situation!

Hope you are staying safe and well as you can Ryan. Hopefully now with the extra help from the federal funding you and the rest of the the great state of Colorado will be beating back the fires and be on the way to recovery soon. Be safe, stand strong like a rock help is coming and you have all our thoughts and support with you here too.

Stay safe out there, Ryan! Sounds like maybe the weather will start cooperating a little better over the next few days.

Fires are almost 100% contained so far for the state of CO. I know there's a lot of extremes heat wave back east coast in 100s degree with power outages, although it's far too early to say how weather will plan out here in CO if things continue to stay on positive track.

Right now, I am in process of getting ready and fly out for 9 days vacation relaxing in Block Island, RI (expensive if you can afford it), which where the family wedding will be taking place to see my cousin Lisa getting marry next Saturday then I am going to relax a whole week on Block Island with families who will be staying for a whole week too. I'll be enjoying the outdoor, beach, and staying in shape too when am there.

I'm going to have to get used to humidity again when I hit Block Island, RI since there's no humidity in CO where you don't sweat.

Have an awesome Vacation/Wedding... Just glad to see you posting and to know you are safe... You're couple day silence period had me worried...

You'll be up in Rhode Island, Humidity shouldn't be too bad up there... Plus you'll have the beach to cool you off if it gets too bad for you...

Yes I love the mountains, Montana is the same way, extremely low humidity most of the time and awesome snow storms to boot... Planning to get out there soon hopefully...

Honestly, the frequency and severity of fires in that area of the world, someone should name a sports team The Colorado Fires. As bad as those fires get, you have to believe the team would be unbeatable.
