Weather Wildfires

**DaFace** · 03-06-2017, 08:47 PM

Everyone OK out there? I've got family who are right on the edge of the evacuation area in Hutchinson. Here's hoping the wind dies down and they can get it under control soon.

I'm like Emporia. Nothing going on here but just down the road it is popping. In about every direction but west.

Remember "In the center of it all!"?

I've got family in the Hutch area too (grew up there actually) I'm incredible concerned at the moment. A lot of people I went to high school with are in the process of evacuating.

Did we just hit some sort of glitch in the matrix?

I don't know if you're referring to my autocorrect or the family we both have in the area. Aren't we both on the front range now too?

You're on the front range? So am I. This is really getting eerie. Are you currently wearing a neon green down vest?

Referring to the autocorrect. I can't even tell what it was you were trying to say.

But yeah, I'm in the Denver metro. You're out here these days too?

My apologies. Presently evacuating*. This often happens when I post from my phone.

I made the jump from Lawrence to the Springs in August. I've absolutely loved it from the day I made the move.

My mother and the rest of her town got evacuated to cold water, KS. She lives in tiny Protection.

Oh wow...I wasn't aware this was even going on.

Stay safe.

Also from Hutch and have Family and Friends who have evacuated. Hope they get this thing under control or it rains.

I thought I'd give you all a glimpse of some of the insanity I'm seeing in my facebook feed. My old high school just cancelled school for tomorrow, about a dozen of my friends evacuated, and the Mega Dillon's in Hutch just ordered an evacuation.

**Buehler445** · 03-06-2017, 10:34 PM

Any numbers on how many acres? I haven't heard a word from any of the fires around.

From what I'm hearing those north of 30th got a text asking them to evacuate. I'm not sure of the overall acreage.

i know what its like during brush fires. we had a bush fire start from national guard ordinances being too hot on the tall brush. i was in the middle of a family members yard with a garden hose trying to keep embers from crossing the road with a garden hose. nothing like staring up at 100 foot of flames as it barrels thru all the underbrush. granted this is a little bit different terrain, it does get tense.
