When the #marshallfire happened, I was in SC visiting my Mom after spending a few days at Disney. This year's trip is Universal than SC, but it hard not to have PTSD with stories like this in my feed. To make matters worse, we'll be boarding our dog at the Dog Tag this year. https://kdvr.com/news/local/power-shutoffs-possible-wednesday-amid-severe-fire-weather-xcel/ https://kdvr.com/news/local/dog-tag-doggy-daycare-superior-marshall-fire/

My neighborhood was dotted with single structures destroyed after the #MarshallFire 3 years ago. In most cases, the providers of the perimeter layer data adjusted to include those properties as damage assessment progressed.

Monday is the anniversary of the #MarshallFire, which was incredibly destructive because of (very) high winds and lack of moisture. The snow for the front range didn’t come until the day after the fire.

We need snow, not high winds. #Boulder https://m.ai6yr.org/@nwsboulder_bot/113736004805088188

Disasters and extreme weather are making America’s homes even more unaffordable

The larger and more expensive homes that are built after a disaster or extreme weather event underscore how unexpected catastrophes can change the character of areas in short order.

I had damage and structure loss in both fires.

The snow for #marshallfire was a day later. The front pushed the rotor out far enough onto the plains that it blew the fire back onto itself, letting firefighters finally gain the upper hand.

Pogue should probably rewrite with a section of caveats mostly involving not moving near me.
