Colorado Wildfire- Waldo Canyon fire in Colorado Springs

We have been busy the last few days, making an evacuation kit, packing, making sure everyone we know and love is safe, and never knowing when it is our turn to evacuate- the entire west side of town is evacuated, including most of the mountain area, as well as the Air Force Academy- extending almost halfway to Denver! The Firefighters are battling this wildfire feverishly night and day, it is a towering inferno of epic proportions- as a Coloradoan, I have NEVER seen anything like this! Pray for the firefighters, the evacuees, and us all! We appreciate it, Thank You! Rain would also be VERY welcome!
