  1. When the 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. kdvr.com/news/local/power-shut kdvr.com/news/local/dog-tag-do

    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 m.ai6yr.org/@nwsboulder_bot/11

    This report has been a long time in coming. I'll try to find a link to the primary source, which was the Boulder County Sheriff's Office announcement this morning.

  9. @ai6yr after the #MarshallFire here in Boulder county, I think I had the entire town building C-R box filters. I even gave a few away.

  10. Good news: the cities did the best they could and went beyond.

    The bad news: carcinogens were still present in Superior/Louisville’s water after they turned the water back on and lifted boil order. #MarshallFire #Boulder #SuperiorCo #LouisvilleCo

  11. A look back at the year after the #marshallfire. Lots of rebuilding going on out there, so amazing to just see it all moving forward. youtube.com/watch?v=vk3i92SLtL

  12. Lots of mixed feelings on this anniversary of the in Louisville/Superior Colorado. Our home survived with only smoke damage. And I am proud to have worked on the that managed the fire.

    Our community is very, very privileged. If this fire had happened in a place with much lower SES, the stories we would be telling right now would be very different (cf. Hurricane Katrina).

  13. CW: Anniversary of the 2021 Marshall Fire

    Today's the one-year anniversary of the #MarshallFire in #Colorado... and as one of the survivors I can tell you I'm STRUGGLING to process a flood of traumatic memories of that terrible event today. (And I was one of the lucky ones who didn't lose my home -- it's gotta be a thousand times WORSE for those who did.)

    So if you happen to know anybody who lives in (or lived in) the areas affected by that disaster, please be gentle with them today. There's no way to sugar-coat how brutal it's going to be to "re-live" that day in our minds as the anniversary slowly crawls by.
