Elk Fire

Smoke from the Elk Fire six miles north of Lake City yesterday afternoon. It tried to rain, we got wind instead. This likely grew the fire and created lots of terrifying and angry looking smoke. Let’s hope for the opposite today. Last update it was still under 600 acres, and there’s forecasted chances of rain everyday for a week. Follow Hinsdale County Office of Emergency Management for updates. The winds died with the hope of rain pretty quickly yesterday, and the smoke calmed down overnight. The last photo is this morning. Come on monsoons!
