Here's my video from yesterday before I drove into the massive smoke plume from the wildfire in Logan County, CO. My friend was evacuate & his kids were evacuated from Caliche Schools. Luckily we have the best firefighters & farmers in the country. The fire got up to an estimated 3,500-4,000 acres & could have easily been 10k+ acres.
A little bit of rain came after the 4k acre fire in northeastern Logan County, CO was out yesterday. The clouds had a little bit of structure to them.
