what a crazy day/night in boulder

first we have winds that were literally knocking people over, tearing down structures, power lines and anything else that dared to be out in the crazy boulder wind today. i myself was trying to hold on and had to take shelter a few times while i was trying to walk through pearl street during lunch. you could literally feel homes and businesses tremble as the wind was ruthlessly beating through boulder without apology or concern for those caught up in it.

when i was on pearl street i saw a metal "yield" sign come unhinged from the pole it was fastened on and fly across the street and nearly take some one out. it missed their head by mere inches. if that would have hit that poor person...oh my, i don't even want to think about it!! sheesh.

then you have the fire that happens after power lines go down...



they've been fighting the fires since early afternoon and are still out trying to put it out, or at least keep it contained. all the while, the wind is still hammering down the mountain.
