Fire Update

It looks like the fire bearing down on Denver will soon reach 100,000 acres in size. Stay tuned to N.Z. Bear for updates. This guy is doing a great job with maps and accounts of the fire. Scroll down a bit and see the satellite photos. It gives you a bit of an idea as to just how smoky it is here. I thought I was getting a cold, but now I'm starting to think that it's just a real bad irritation from all the smoke. VodkaPundit and Diana Hsieh are also relatively close to the fires and providing updates. Diana is preparing to evacuate.

Update: N.Z. Bear has taken own the maps lest anyone rely too heavily upon them (though that cool satellite photo is still up). Vince, who works on the southern edge of the city closest the fires, reports that, at the least, visibility in the area has improved since this morning.
