Evacuation - Waldo Canyon Fire

Well we are back in town after our trip from MN. We were evacuated from our home yesterday afternoon due to the Waldo Canyon Fire west of Colorado Springs. More areas had to evacuate today. Please keep our community and people in your prayers. The fire has grown in size today and is threatening structures.
This was taken last night and you can see the plume of smoke. It actually looks much worse this morning.

I've been watching the updates on the news. It's horrible to watch all of that beautiful land and so many homes on fire. My prayers are with you and all of those who are being affected by all of these crazy wild fires in Colorado.
