Hope everyone in Colorado is okay those fires seem to be spreading pretty fast. I have family in canon city who are on 911 call back right now... they have their vehicles loaded just in case.

it looks like from what i have seen online the royal gorge has lost 20 structures and about 30 planks on the bridge itself but they are saying that structurally the bridge is ok but they are saying that black forest is still burning pretty bad with a lot of structures involved.

hope you are all safe though

The structure count in black forest is at over 380 homes now.... i hope everyone there is safe

Only a couple dead so far.
 
2 found dead trying to escape their homes at 75% containment on the black forest fire now and upwards of 500 homes.... the royal gorge fire burned over 3/4 of their buildings and the bridge is charred on 35 or so planks i know my family down there is no longer on evacuation. however the black forest fire is being treated as a crime scene so will not be lifted on evac today...
 
Hope everyone down that way is doing okay .... i dont know if any of you have heard but parts of Colorado have had 20" of rain since Monday it has reached the point where homes and highways are washing out
this was 7 hours ago.... it is not expected to quit raining there till Sunday
