So this is a picture of the road I travel EVERY Sunday on my way to/from church (Black Forrest Road) - Colorado Springs is on fire again! FBCBF is safe at this time, no deaths reported, but still a very unstable situation.
Pray for the 155+ firefighters, the 80+ homes that have been destroyed, 0% containment, & the 8,000+ acres that are affected by this mass firestorm. Many of my friends/family are in evacuation or pre-evacuation status.
I have my car packed {housesitting for my parents} ready to take their valuables & head out - I can be out in 15 mins. or less...depending on if the animals cooperate. So much of this house/area feels like my home, even though I live elsewhere.
The winds are strong, the fire is spotty, & the air is DRY - all not good circumstances for fires. Please keep prayers coming for the AMAZING first responders & the families who are evacuated, worrying over their homes/businesses being burnt to the ground.

We are praying! I'm sure your parents are thankful that you will be able to care for everything. I am mostly praying it won't come to that...
WAY too close. I hated every minute of this fire. Glad you were safe. Thanks for checking in on US!
