theplanshehas: Colorado has been hit by wildfires again, and for a second year in a row, there has been a fire that has destroyed over 300 homes. This year it is the Black Forest Fire, destroying close to 360 homes in the past 2 and a half days with still 0% containment. The men and women fighting this fire are so very brave, and the close to 10,000 evacuees who await the news of that status of their homes are too. It is painful and confusing to see our beautiful state ruptured by this once again. Prayers, are so very necessary during this time. God bless.

ihatepeacocks: I took the top picture at 12:50pm 6-23-2013. This was taken where Lexington Road ends into Old Ranch Road on the West Side of Powers near Challenger Middle School. This is another flare up on the East Side of powers just a few miles north of Pine Creek High School. The second picture is the map of the fire and evac zones. I marked on the map where the picture was taken. This fire is still burning out of control. A new round of MANDATORY Evacuations were initiated at 1:10pm.Please visit this link for even more info on the new Mandatory Evacuation Zone: City of Colorado Springs — MANDATORY Evacuations

my-patronus-is-a-mockingjay2010: Thursday June 13, 2013 (as of 8:00 am MST): 360 homes completely destroyed 14 homes partially damaged 79 homes not verifiable 1,205 not affected 15,000 acres burned The Black Forest Fire has now destroyed more homes than the Waldo Canyon Fire, thus becoming the most destructive fire in state history. I’m not sure why the national media isn’t paying much attention to this right now, but we are experiencing this horror two summers in a row. We need to get everyone aware of what is happening here!! COLORADO STRONG.

infinitenatalie: I absolutely love this city :) This is a photo of the line to donate to Care and Share yesterday (June 12). They asked the community for donations of food and drinks for the first responders and evacuees, and were met with overwhelming support. Traffic was backed up for miles with people wanting to donate to those affected by this disaster. It’s like we said last summer, “community does not burn down.”
