Timelapse of fire that sent me packing

[capt chuck]

This is a timelapse of the Waldo Canyon fire. If you don't watch the whole thing, it's worth watching Tuesday (starting around 6:30). It was Tuesday afternoon that I had to leave my house near the fire (I think you'll see why). I had little time for capturing video (I took a small amount with my cell phone). But I'm glad someone documented this fire. A number of veteran firefighters said they had never seen anything like the fire behavior on tuesday.

That is terrifying (especially the footage from Tuesday). I'm glad you got out!

OMG! And you had the nerve to do a timelapse? That's brave Steve.

I just said in an other tread how I'm bored to death with timelapses.
I usually click them away after a few seconds.
But this one had me sitting and watching through the whole 16 minutes.

I feel really sorry for the folks that live there.

I may have had the nerve, but someone else took the video .

That is a compelling timelapse - I wasn't sure if I would be able to watch it because it hits so close to home (figuratively and literally, we live less than a mile from the area where 346 homes were lost on Tuesday)
