Taken earlier today in Superior, CO as the fires raged across the area. From the Denver Post.

Edit: This is what it looks like above the area right now: https://i.imgur.com/FHCYRWc.jpg

    I only heard about it because I am terminally online. I remember telling people about it and they were like :jesse-wtf: till I showed them actual posts/local news about it.

    This GIF shows the extent of the damage pretty well

    Near total removal of the tree canopy in the area outlined. And it was fast.

    On average, the storm front traveled west-to-east at an average speed of 55 mph
