    Up here in the mountains of Colorado we don't ever have tornados or earthquakes. But we do have massive fast moving forest fires. We had one last year when the wind was gusting over 80 MPH. The fire was twice as high as the highest trees and would blow through the forest faster than a person could run. It was so hot and fast it even melted cars right to the ground to where you couldn't even tell there was a car there. I saw it on my way home on my left over the mountaintop as I was driving, luckily my house was on the right side of the road. It lit up the sky for about 40 miles all along the highway, I saw the fire dept. guys just standing around at the station, it was so big and hot and moving so fast there was nothing they could do. And the wind was blowing so hard I could hardly keep my car on the road. There was a story about a guy who bought a fire truck and was going to try to fight off the fire by his house by himself but when he saw the fire coming so big and fast he ditched the fire truck and sped away in his car. Scary stuff.
