no computer access, just sitting and waiting for any news. the fire came in so quickly, at first it was a small collum of smoke then within thirty minutes and at that point you could hear propane tanks and other stuff exploding. I evacuated after that and drove past dozens of sherif, poliece, state patrol, and fire dept cars going door to door. my parents had the bad idea of refusing to leave until the deputys arrived to tell them to evacuate. then i got to wolford elementary where i learned the fire was within a few aceres of my house when my parents made it there 15 minutes later. all of that happened with in an hour and a half or so. then a close by spot fire made us move back again to black forrest lutheran driving there there were parts thick in smoke and then at least five spots on the side of the road with small brush fires from embers. when we got there i stayed around until you could see flames a half a mile away down black forrest rd. i then left but my parents stayed behind again, if you saw the video of black forrest and shoup where the cops are taking off with the flames hitting the community center they were there when it happened and had the dumb idea to take a picture before they ran to thier car (i will try and post it when i am around a computer) then we met up in colorado springs and went to my uncles house. i will try and post photos later today of the fire i got a pretty good time line of them up until i left 15 minutes before the poliece took off at the intercetion
