Colorado on Fire
You may have heard/read in the news that there are huge fires everywhere in Colorado. This is my home state, and I have some pictures of the smoke cloud:
These were taken from Nebraska, returning from a vacation, about 100 miles away from the fire near Fort Collins. I am home now, and still 100 miles away, but I can still smell the smoke. 
Does anyone else live near the fire?

Re: Colorado on Fire
I could once smell smoke coming from north Canada.
Lurking more than posting, but still here.

Colorado is a dry spell.
I forgot what it is like to have rain.

Re: Colorado on Fire
There was once a wildfire near where I live. It wasn't as bad as that one (I think, I'm not a news person), but I was still able to smell the smoke, not see it though, like you can in your picture.

Wow illusionist...Indiana gets extreme heat, rain, and drastic changes in weather, but never fires!
They say here that if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes xD!

Re: Colorado on Fire
I lived near there about a year ago, then I moved here. But I saw how bad it is, and I've been told by people there that the smoke is pretty thick, considering the distance it traveled.
Why are the secret organizations getting all the attention?

Re: Colorado on Fire
Is the fire very close to where you live? D:
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello!

Oh, just curious, did anyone click this thread thinking it was some band they had never heard of? Because the name of it sounds like a band name. "Colorado on Fire"
Yep. :B
Anyway, I've never really had a wildfire around here. :I
