1000+ structures burned, 6000 acres; Marshall fire Boulder county Colorado, most destructive state history. Live aftermath footage.

Whole neighborhoods have been burned down. Over 500 homes already and many businesses and non residential structures.

Just as severe cold is coming.

Extreme winds fueled grass fires as power lines were downed, blowing transformers.

It is continuing and there is still heavy wind, although it has calmed much.

I'm quite a distance away in Loveland, but I hear a thunderous booming. I could easily see the plume before sunset and got a photo.

Very very sad.

Much has happened in Colorado.

The energy today was very... Strange.

I noticed several road rage incidents and almost got into an accident myself as somebody flew across several lanes when I was getting over.

I25 was in total gridlock. I can only imagine 36 and 287. Wow.

These have been record breaking winds and droughts.

We were just talking about this last few days... My neighborhood would be completely gone too if the same were to occur near me. So sad, I really feel for these families. 5 days after Christmas.

Also, consider this: Denver Decadence is going on right now. A massive EDM and drug fueled festival ushering in the new year. My roommates have attended this (not for long, moving out soon thank GOD!) and I wonder how all these artificially happy people will feel when their seratonin drops off a cliff and they realize they were partying hard while people lost their homes and lives.

UPDATE

Adding that this is now 1600+ acres and that there are far more than 600 structures burned but we cannot grasp scope until morning. It is declared the most destructive fire in state history.

Footage tomorrow is going to be insane...

This all started around noon.

There are embers causing spot fires.

UPDATE 12-31-21

Here is 9news live aerial footage.
