twister

When the wind blows downslope here,

it blows so hard it can twist the sunset. 

This same angry wind turned into 

the tornados that recently killed so many people 

1000 miles east of here on Leap Day.

Scary.

The fire's still burning, the wind's still blowing

and I'm still painting.

Like a crazy woman.

Now it's getting personal...

Boulder residents who live west of Broadway and north of Spruce Street are being asked to prepare to evacuate their homes, in case the path of the Fourmile Fire shifts dramatically.

City officials on Thursday afternoon said that forecasted high winds overnight are leading to concerns that the fire could shift toward city limits.

"Based on the (wind) patterns that are being forecast, we do have concerns it could push the fire east to the western parts of the city," said Sarah Huntley, a city spokeswoman. "We don't know if evacuations are going to be necessary."

The forecast calls for wind gusts as high as 50 mph starting after about 6 p.m. today, and lasting into the early morning hours.
