Colorado fires, Fri, Oct 16, 2020

We live in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains about 30 miles southeast of the Cameron Peak Fire, now the largest fire in Colorado history. For the past two months, it has often been really smoky, but now and then, we have a couple days of fresh air, as we've had for the past two days. This evening, just at sunset, the winds kicked up and it quickly got really smoky again. I ran around the house shutting the windows and then noticed out of one of them the smoke from the fire roiling fast and furiously across the sky to the northwest. This is the first time we've seen the smoke plumes so distinctly from our place, which I guess means they must be rising quite high up into the sky before moving east.
