Wind from a thunderstorm fired up, but no rain and pushed the Waldo Canyon Fire back away from my area onto western Colorado Springs. The gusts at times were upwards of 65 mph where it was burning and air support had to be grounded. When it blew back it happened very quickly and even fire fighters had to run to get out of harm's way.
All housing areas of the Air Force Academy have been evacuated and other parts of it are on pre-evacuation.
The Flying W Ranch, a 60 year iconic establishment, has burned to the ground.
I 25 Southbound is closed near the USAF and 32000 people have been evacuated.
Estimates fire has burned 6200 acres and they are expecting the fire to keep moving north.
