Ballad of Waldo Canyon Fire

This is a song written by a local man on July 5, 2012. There are at least 2 pictures of my street in the video and the pictures are touching.  Some really moving ones of the evacuation and just how scary it was as the Front Range was lit up on fire...


This is a 5-day time lapse... a long video, but VERY interesting to watch.  Skip to 8:00 in for the late afternoon of Tuesday June 26, this was just after the evacuation.  At 8:30, the sun goes down and the front range is lit up entirely... that was the ridge of my neighborhood. It is amazing to me to see this and know our home made it... unbelievable.


This one brings tears to my eyes...
At 6:00 into the video, they show Ashton Place and Charring Court.  Charring court is right behind our house.  As you look at the home burning directly in front of the camera, those are the homes that were directly behind our house.  Seeing this video makes me even more convinced that our house still standing is nothing short of a miracle!
