Those boys have been super busy. My office is right by Rocky Mountain airport where they reload, seems like every time you look out the window another water bomber is flying over.

Never going to be a better time. Evacs now occurring in the city "proper" (I use the word loosely)
According to the city of Colorado Springs:

MANDATORY EVACUATIONS:

-- All residents west of 30th Street from Gateway, near Garden of the Gods park, north to Centennial Boulevard, and the Mountain Shadows neighborhood from Centennial to Chuck Wagon Road.
