Thousands of people were asked to flee their homes as several wind-driven fires burned near Boulder, Colorado.
A fierce, wind-driven wildfire destroyed hundreds of homes, injured at least a half dozen people and prompted the evacuation of tens of thousands of residents in and around two towns east of the Rockies near Denver, authorities said on Thursday. The prairie grass fire was believed to have been started by sparks from power lines and transformers that were knocked down by high winds in Colorado. The Boulder County emergency management office said on its website that all residents of Superior, Colorado, with a population of about 13,000, were ordered to leave immediately.
The Boulder County Sheriff said that 600 homes, a Target shopping complex and a hotel have been destroyed by fire.

The only master's program I ever took was the one I signed up for, and I didn't care what the cost was. Even though I make a good salary, the loan payments are too expensive because I am a nutrition and public health consultant.
