Been here in Denver for 50 years, never saw anything like this. And it's not unusual to have all 4 seasons in 1 day here. Prayers for the families affected by this tragedy.

I'm so glad my boyfriend made it back to Texas late this afternoon. I hugged him so hard. Sadly his children and grandchildren are still in Colorado near there. I want to cry.

I live in Palmer Lake, Colorado, a few hrs SE of this area. The winds have been insane. I thought it would flip my car off the hwy and there were branches flying...I just now learned about this fire going on (I rarely watch the news). It’s so traumatic and devastating, I can’t fathom it all. I lived through a devastating flood a few years back, which happened because of the Waldo Canyon fire the year before, and lost everything. It was such a horrible experience, but here I am. They have so much they are grieving now, pets surely lost, so much destruction to process. The best help they can get, in this order....immediate needs met (shelter, food, prescriptions filled, pet food/supplies and carry crates, clean clothes, etc), a car if needed, list of agency contacts for replacing documents, apply for assistance funds, etc. Of course clothing and other things are needed also, but the best offering is compassion and kindness and care. Things can be replaced and ultimately don’t even matter much in the end, but being lifted up, helping someone carry the burden for awhile means so much to the spirit and Soul of the one who is suffering these moments. Just be there fully in heart, for anyone needing help, give in any capacity available to you, prayers are free, be the Light someone needs right now. The chaos in the world is relentless lately, and we need each other more than we realize. May the next steps for everyone impacted and traumatized by this fire lead them into healing and loving support and empathy, to help them move through their grief and pain. 🙏🏾💕💚 p. s . The pets need help too; it’s a tremendous challenge to find anyplace for them to go suddenly and they are also traumatized and need care and compassion and reassurance! Even offering for a pet to have a quiet and safe home to live for awhile can offer much, much needed relief. 💜

Smart fires. House burns but mailboxes completely unscathed. Tree in the yard made entirely of wood unburned. 1 house gone. The house right next door untouched. Weird.

Prayers to all families, their animals and everyone involved in fighting these fires. God Bless everyone!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Praying for the people of Colorado. From Kwazulu Natal. South Africa

Praying from germany to my hometown. I hope all families will be okay!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

People are not going to like what im about to say. I feel 2 ways about this, on one hand I feel some what bad and on the other hand this is A warning For Me to Always be kind to people who has less than I. Ive been living in Colorado in my van going on 3 years now and its been very very hard!! but the hardest thing is the people in Colorado are so cold hearted how many of these people were on their way home saw homeless people asking for THEIR HELP and You just pass them up and even make FUN of them. ALL HOMELESS PEOPLE AREN'T ON DRUGS!!!!! You Agree to law makers making it hard for Human beings to living in Van's, cars we have no place to park so that we can work rest and work and get back on our feet. You make it very very hard for the homeless you have no love for people who has less than you. People I'm WARNING YOU!! If you keep up with your Selfishness and UNGODLY ways you don't care about others you only care about having a good time and making money, GOD will BRING MORE Fires, More crazy Shootings GOD is making you UNCOMFORTABLE because you have been Heartless. Be kind to others!! If you have a home and God has blessed you with $$ help others that you see EVERY DAY on your way to and from work, store A HOME. Stop with this. I Have No Money On Me it's On MY CARD👎👎! STOP THAT!! Be kind to those who has less than you!!!! and Now you're Homeless.I don't have much but I Always try to help those who has less than I. In return God takes care of me But he gives me just enough to recognize the Reality of Heartless people. People be helpful have a Heart to the Homeless be More Helpful find a way to be helpful and God will ALWAYS look out for YOU, your HOME and YOUR FAMILY!! But you won't take HEED You'll Read this and Role your eyes and think I'm talking crazy Ok than keep with your Selfish Ways.

As someone who was touched by the bushfires in australia new years two years ago. Sending prayers and hope for the families of those who have lost their homes. We here in australia are thinking of you today.

Sorry for Colorade Fire from Japan,

Nothing more frightening than a fire. Praying there are no human casualties 🙏

This is so sad, sending love and light to the people of Colorado

So sad 😢 Praying for Colorado. 🙏❤️✝️

My heart & prayers truly go out to all of the families that were affected by this

I was just working in that same area for 3 months and the landscape was very dry. It’s was such a pretty area. The folks in Colorado are very good people best of wishes to you all. GOD Bless Colorado.

jeez thats insane. 600+ families homeless in a single day. hoping people have friends and family they can stay with long term while they rebuild their houses. this is crazy.

Lord bless all the people of Colorado and keep them safe amen!

Praying for people of Colorado, sending love and peace from Canada.

I lived in Boulder in the mid 60's. In January the winds were really severe. They roll down Boulder Canyon reaching massive speeds. A brand new subdivision in Devil's Thumb was almost entirely destroyed. One family had sat down for dinner when their roof was blown off. An older mobile home park just a quarter mile from us had the entire west side row of homes destroyed. Homes were actually blown up on end and crashed to the ground. We had a large part of a neighbor's big chicken coop roof sticking out of our garage door. The really bizarre thing is that the roof was a bit south of our north side garage. The winds do strange things. There were five fires going in the city of Boulder during these terrible winds. But the damage wasn't near what's happened this time. My heart breaks for those folks. The overwhelming sadness and almost painful feelings of emptiness are devastating.

This is a very sad situation please everyone pray for our country & the people of Colorado.🥺

Hello from melbourne australia = blessings and keep safe and well so sorry for your losses ! we face this threat every year ! today was 39 celcius

OMG our country and the world needs a break from covid and chaos 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Hope people are safe in Colorado. This is awful. One disaster after the next

100 mph winds in a wildfire!? Terrifying.

Prayers for everyone who is suffering.

Wildfires? In Winter? In Colorado?

It’s so strange this is happening, first the insane wind, then the fires. And it’s happening in winter. I hope everyone is okay

Prayers to everyone affected by this horrible disaster. I live through a fire but lost everything including my fur babies so I know all to well the pain that these families will have to endure. Prayers lifted🙏❤️😭

May Allah protect you all. Im sorry for what happen 😢. Here malaysia we faced with crazy flood. Pray for Colorado

I left Texas running from floods, now I'm running from fire 🔥. Nice move.

Wow, they had a combination of ef3 tornado wind mixed with raging wildfires, a devastating disaster.

This was a horrific, wickedly fast and dynamic event, but it could’ve been much worse. Property can be replaced, lives can’t. Hats off to the first responders for getting so many to safety.

Here is a quick summary: This fire is currently on an unstoppable rampage through metro Colorado. Over 700 homes destroyed with no hope of stopping it in sight. Entire cities... big cities.. have been leveled to the ground. Cant bring in any form of air support due to the 70 to 110 mph winds and extremely low visibility. Most destructive fire ever in Colorado. Luckily we have hope of snow coming tomorrow night. Hopefully, it is out by then, but no one is holding their breath. No deaths are yet reported, likely won't stay that way for long... This fire started when a wind gust upwards of 110 ripped a powerline out of the ground and it landed in the brush, igniting it. Considering we haven't had any significant moisture since summer it spread uncontrollably quick. IF YOU ARE BEING TOLD TO EVACUATE, PLEASE DO!!! A lot of deaths that happen in a fire like this are from people not evacuating. SO PLEASE DO!!!! If you have questions put them below and I will try to answer them.

Praying for all in the Denver area.😊🙏

Heartbreaking. SendIng prayers 🙏 from Washington state ❤️

Prayers to all the fire victims 🙏🙏🙏

Praying for all the families and their pets, always remember over time materials can be replaced! I pray the high winds stop spreading the fire 🔥 🙏 and rain comes down from the sky ⛈

So sad nothing but disaster after another. Praying for you all. NZ

Watching from Switzerland and I'm shocked. Praying for all of u out there ❤

Praying for you all in Colorado who are going through this terrible situation. You may not know this now but you will get through this. May God Almighty bless you with good health, better homes, and stronger faith. -love from California.

It's amazing how a wild fire burns homes made of wood , stucco, and brick to dust but somehow skips trees and aren't hot enough to melt plastic. Just like the forest fires in California that didn't burn forest but effectively burned homes to dust

Building on Indian burial prairie land was the first mistake. . ...

Anyone who would say something insensitive - forgive them. This is too extreme, too scary for many people to be empathetic through. The rest of us, we can contribute to help - Red Cross, Salvation Army there are a lot of relief groups and certainly people will not be seeing insurance compensation immediately. Stay constructive, point forward, one day at a time. Be the neighbour you'd want to see if you went through this.

Why have we not yet started putting powerlines underground??? Especially in vulnerable areas. AND NOW it seem that is not the cause of this fire after all...

From las vegas watching this, prayers 🙏 sent to everyone there, blessings sent and praying the fires stop, asap,

WTF Colorado ? It’s December. My country of Australia is supposed to be ablaze while you guys take a rest. Extreme fire danger here as well today

This is a tragedy. These power companies MUST bury lines, shut off power in high winds, supply customers with generators. This enormous loss could have been prevented. My prayers go out to this community.

MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL OF YOU IN MY BELOVED HOMETOWN AND THE ADJACENT COMMUNITIES

Devastating god bless the firefighters for trying their best in difficult circumstances, Stay safe and our prayers are with you all affected from my family here in the UK

Stay strong !!! everyone send positive thought and beautiful prayers to boulder county Colorado and all others that are suffering in the world ! 🕊🌱🕊

I used to live in Lakewood. My heart goes out to the people of the fire zone. I had friends in and around the Denver area. Stay safe and hope no one looses there lives from all this. I lived in the area back in the early 1980s. My prayers are with you all

My prayers and love ❤to all the families in Colorado. You may not be able to grapple your mind around this but do take it one day at a time. Secure your lives and that of your families 👪 🙏🏽 God will take care if the rest.🙏🏽❤

Prayers for Colorado!

Prayer's from northern California we know what it's like to go through this kind of disaster

Sometimes the safest place to be is in your own home but most homes are not able to withstand very high winds and most homes are not fire resistant (fire proof is even more rare). I'm remembering the Oakland, CA fire from several decades ago. When the fire was done there stood a few homes with no fire damage because they had taken proper steps to protect their homes.

Oh Lord, those poor folks. I hope nobody died. My prayers and and heart goes out to them all. 😧. Heart breaking

I'm soooo very sorry to the families and businesses that have lost everything. I can't even imagine. Gosh, what a way for December to end, between the tornadoes in KY and IL and the death and destruction those caused and now this. This year can't get over soon enough!!!! I feel especially bad for the parents that are trying to keep it together to keep their children calm. The trauma has to be horrible. Again, I'm so very sorry. Sending positive thoughts of peace and love to all.

Must be one hell of a dry winter out there. I lived on the western slope for 10yrs and never seen a wild fire in winter.

pray for your bother's and sisters and all the help that can come there to help you

My husband and I evacuated that day of Dec. 30. We hardly watched any news that evening. Too difficult despite knowing some friends had already lost homes. We did not. It was our video doorbell the next morning to let us know our neighborhood did not burn. We were fortunate. The winds dying down that evening saved the neighborhood.Thank you for the news coverage.

Thank you to the firefighters that are risking everything for those families that lost everything.

I’m so sorry. The winds and fire are traumatizing. Speaking from CA Bay Area. In such chaos it’s hard to feel you are getting the latest and correct evacuation info and it can change quickly. That makes it even worse. The not knowing exactly if you are doing the right thing, driving to the right evacuation location etc. I am so sorry. We went through it last year. You will get through this. The fire will end. Thanks to the fire, police, hospital and rescue workers. Sending love from fire zones on CA.

Prayers for these poor people,and the firefighters fighting this monster.

There needs to be a nation wide campaign to make sure the powerlines are disaster resistant. This has to stop happening.

Unbelievable How did this Happen ,My Prayers are for Colorado's Denver Suburbs. And All the Fires 🚒

good thing it happened while everyone was awake

My blood pressure from just watching this. I can’t even imagine sweet Jesus. All the predictions I kept hearing about in the 70s are coming true!

Sending prayers 🙏 from Minnesota!

Lord be with all those who have lost their homes, pets, have medical issues and bless all Coloradans, who are strong, hearty westerners, who will rebuild better than ever, honor this tragedy, and protect all of the Fire Fighters, LEO, First Responders, and Medical Personnel--both local and from surrounding areas--who worked tirelessly and saved countless lives today.

i have no words but GOD BLESS THESE PEOPLE!!!!

You can not believe what a beautiful street this was. All new large homes with three car garages, huge green trees, pine trees and lawns. You can never imagine in your dreams what was lost. They had a lovely life and I wonder if they knew it when they had it. Sometimes we just take it for granted until we have nothing.

Omg! 🙏Praying for all the people and animals! 🙏 😭

If you use bricks , stone and slate instead of wood you could mostly remove this problem. In England we only use wood for the construction of sheds. My previous house , built in 1759 , had stone walls , two feet thick , the roof was made of stone slabs , one inch thick , the house was virtually fireproof. Is there a shortage of stone for wall building and clay for brick making in America ? My English friend living in America , refers to his house as being made of ticky tacky !

I remember reading about prairie fires that pioneers and settlers had to deal with but I never thought that this would happen in these days and times. The years I lived in North Metro Denver, I never worried about this. Thoughts and prayers to all in this catastrophe.

It is 2am in the morning in Colorado Springs and the wind is insane!!!

As a resident of Louisville CO, I want to say Thank You to all of you for your prayers and donations. We're recovering slowly but surely. BLESS YOU ALL. ❤

Am so sorry . Prayers for all .

My Lord my God Almight, please be gracious shelter and feed your children...

It's tough when you lose your home, but that's replaceable. The most important now is to save lives. Everything material can be replaced, lives can not. So take care people and stay strong. Croatia is with you.

Looks like another DEW fire!

Praying for you in WV that the winds and fire die down and nothing else is lost, Prayers to you all for loss of property my heart goes out to you all God bless you

Doesn't this sound like Paradise California doesn't it does somebody know what I'm speaking of when I say it sounds like Paradise California

Sending PRAYERS n love n light to all of the people n families affected by this disaster from Toronto,Canada!🙌🙏❤ what a helpless feeling my heart goes out to everyone affected! 🙌🙏❤

holly fuck. a wildfire in december? in colorado? i was going to say arson, but faulty power lines checks out. considering americas failing infrastructure and lack of accountability for power companies. damn this sucks. i hope the best for colorado.

Colorado was on my bucket list to go to. I guest that thought is out the window. Just can't go nowhere.

The trees hang strong, hope everyone safe.And the animals. 🙏

I suppose that the Electric Company will be sued since power lines started the fire. That's what happened in California.

Dear Lord how frightening Prayers for all people and animals

God bless all affected.

With all of the tornadoes and fires it will begin to make sense to build our homes underground. I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for your safety and for your pets safety too.

PRAYERS for all of the helpless animals affected n those who parished!!! My heart is crying 🙌🙏❤

Hope Colorado insurance industry is in better shape than California's!

I'm so sorry for what is happening. I don't remember when we had power poles here in Croatia, man, all of our power is underground now because of potential fires especially along the coast where I live. I noticed that all of US is still using poles, like a third world country. I hope your president bayden fixes this soon!

God please have mercy on these people. I pray for everyone and pets. ✝️

This is so sad... praying for everyone involved 🙏🏼

cant back burn in 100 mph winds, just can't...

All of these people lost their homes and livelihoods right before the new year; my prayers an condolences to them and I hope that they're able to rebuild.

"Kindness is the language the deaf can hear and the blind can see". EVERYONE put aside personal feelings and help in any way, shape or form. These folks are in dire need of anything and everything. NOTHING is left for them. Actions speak louder than words. Prayers for all from suburban Chicago.

The fire stopped just down the street from us. We have been evacuated. My heart aches for my neighbors. Now we know that 1000 homes burned, several lost animals and they do not thing it started from a downed power line anymore.😔

I pray for Rain💧💧💧Healing Love sent to anyone who may be involved in this..

This is so tragic. Prayers to all.
