Louisville, Co First light shows destruction from Marshall Fire- Drone 4k

[@chachi551]

My hometown and childhood home in Oregon burned down a very similar way on a insanely windy day in September 2020. I’ve been living in Colorado for almost two years and I am devastated that the same thing happened here. I lost my three cats in the oregon fire and I just wanted to say my heart goes out to everyone who lost pets yesterday. I am still not okay to this day about losing my entire childhood items/pictures/belongings and most importantly my three family members. Don’t listen to the people who say “it’s just things, at least you’re alive”, they don’t get it. If anybody needs support or someone to listen I’m here. You really don’t know how it feels until it happens to you.💔💔💔

Hi John, as horrifying as the video is, Im thankful so many could use it as a resource. I had planned to do the entire area until the airspace became restricted. I can not say enough about the evacuation plan and implementation by local authorities. They should be awarded for their efforts and it should be taught to other disaster prone communities. I also hope they learned the impacts of limiting media and information after the fact. So many people were distressed from not knowing.

Usually we hear about fires like this destroying mountain communities, houses further apart amongst trees. This is the first time I know of where this happened in a suburban-type area. I'm doubtful anything could have stopped the fire the way it was going, unless the buildings were made of metal and surrounded by hundreds of feet of pavement. My mom was thinking of airplanes stored in hangars at the nearby Rocky Mountain Metro airport, which are in metal buildings surrounded by hundreds of feet of pavement, so that's probably really the only thing that is safe. Maybe dense urban areas of mostly brick or concrete buildings and very little trees or grass would be safe, but I wouldn't count on that.

Entire cities... big cities.. have been leveled to the ground. Couldn't 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 tonight. 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!!!! And no, this was not a bombing, no space lasers, no arson. It was the wind blowing over live power lines. I was literally there so ya'll can stop making conspiracy theories.

How did the steel beams warp and twist from a house fire? They are part of the foundation, meaning most of the flammable fuel is above and heat rises. Every house was burned to the ground? Cars on the street with windows most likely closed burnt to a crisp. This isn’t normal.

exactly. steel beems dont melt and warp at wildfire temps, not close at all. but microwave energy waves can absolutely do that, while leaving wood in tact due to that same energy type only drying woods moisture out, not vaporizing it.

wow. the massive destruction. its truly a miracle no one died. but my god….. everything gone. 🙏

I noticed at least 9 differences between these fire scenes and those of the the CA wildfires. 1.) There was NO obliterated stone, concrete, or terra cotta present. 2.) NO warped/twisted structural steel. 3.) NO molten metal objects in the yards. 4.) NO melted vehicle rims pooling or flowing down the streets. 5.) NO 100% combustion of all burnable structural materials, leaving a pile of ash like a charcoal BBQ All of which requires an enclosed blast furnace environment of 2000+ degrees. 6.) NO surgical targeting of scattered structures. 7.) NO tress burning from the inside out (requires a direct lightning strike which typically causes the tree to explode via rapid steam production of internal moisture). 8.) NO path of fire travel that defies the laws of physics. Fire, like water and electricity, will take the least path of resistance EVERY time. 9.) NO vulnerable vegetation consistently left untouched. Here's WHY these differences exist between this fire and those of the CA "wildfires": kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5S3Xnhjr71_oqs

Do not question anything odd, listen to what they say.

That was my neighborhood. That was my childhood home. That was my life. That was everything.

[@teamtryxgg281]

Did anyone count how many homes destroyed in total? Praying for a speedy recovery of this little town.

[@fritzkabeano1969]

I heard over 600 on the news....

[@ilovetheocean12]

It’s going to be well over 600, my guess is 900-1,000. This looks like part of the east side of town and hasn’t been counted yet - the 580 total on the news is just the west side.

[@Heatherrrrr-uh2sl]

1000.

[@sed6]

I counted ten then ran out of fingers...

This reminds me of all the major fires we had here in California. Sending my love to Colorado.

[@BackyardBeeKeepingNuevo]

Great footage. This is another wind driven fire just like in Paradise, CA.

[@therebeccamillerX]

Yes-I’m live near Paradise, and it looks like a repeat. We never used to have so many duplicate devastations...

[@MamasFunkyMonkey]

It was crazy I was eating lunch and within a couple minutes the sky went from blue to grey very scary the power of wind and fire

What started the fire?

[@sandrabrooks1478]

Hard to watch. So interesting to see an entire block burned down and one house standing.

[@litespeed74]

That house at 1:16....how ???

[@tommycarretta]

How do the trees still stand? God bless you that were affected

[@CalebBlock]

Would I be able to talk about getting some of this footage?
