Powerful Timelapse Video Of Waldo Canyon Fire
This video (not mine) was shot just down the hill from us here in Monument. Kind of long but worth it. Tuesday was the worst day so far (as you will see). My office is at the mouth of Queens Canyon where the fire first crested the ridge into Colorado Springs on Tuesday. At first it was just impressive but when the 65mph winds kicked and I saw the wall of fire racing down the hill I lost all perspective--it just didn't seem real. It is sad that some have lost lives and homes but I do feel that it could have been much worse and for that I am thankful.
This is high quality video and worth watching in HD with the sound on.
