It's hard to wrap my head around how fast this fire was moving. Everyone obviously went shopping because nothing was wrong *yet*, and then came out to a parking lot consumed by smoke. How horrifying, it's amazing everyone was able to find their cars and get out. God bless these people.
my thoughts exactly
It was a terrifying day. I live in Boulder and was on highway 93 during the highest point of the winds. I was sure I was going to be pushed off the road, RV's were completely flipped over. My friend was in an office just behind that Costco and ran out when they saw the barn next to them in flames. She said it was completely black from smoke and thought if the fire doesn't kill me a car accident will.
@@madisonferry5921 I'm glad you and your friend made it out safe! And I am so sorry for anything you have lost during this, I can't imagine losing a home, let alone an entire community 🙏
I hope that everyone affected by these fires stays safe. Please take care of each other and be safe. We are watching from Canada and our hearts are with all of you.
@@madisonferry5921 Hello! My name is Anna.
I am sorry you are going through such a difficult time in your state.😥 hope that you and your family are safe now.I am a volunteer of the global project “Creative society”. Our goal is to give people all over the world truthful information about the ecological and climatic situation on the planet, share the real causes of climate change.We are preparing a worldwide international forum "Global Crisis. We are people. We want to live". It will be held on May 7, 2022. We believe that the stories of eyewitnesses who themselves faced disasters will help other people understand that now is the most important time for humanity to unite in order to prepare for global climatic disasters and save their own lives and the lives of their loved ones. I want to ask, could you give us little interview about this event?
I feel bad for the mom holding one child in her arms and another by the hand. She would have to get them into their car seats and then figure out what direction to go. Also, anyone who was elderly or handicapped.
I think in that situation I think you just put them in the car and go, do it 70s style. Nobody's going to press charges if you are fleeing a fire. Every second counts and people's hands will be shaking, making it harder to get them in their car seats. Once safe, strap them in then, I think.
Looks like Armageddon....scary AF
@@outsidersongs2682 yeah that made me tear up because I have little ones the same age. She was probably so scared but had to stay calm for them.
Can't imagine walking out to that and then being told to head east knowing that family members, friends others are in the opposite direction! You can't go back for anyone because the chance of dying is probably 100% since the fire is moving so quickly. Hope everyone made it out safely!! Employees and then police were probably the last to leave.
And alot of pets didn't make it out either unfortunately
I don't believe the i believe everyone can fight fire if they are not fearful and have strengh to fight it if you decide to run away and don't fight it that's on you but with any thing strong or blankets Carpets can stop it and clothing the can cover you as jackets
@@michellem7300 I heard only 2 ppl died wdym?
@@raghad4971 I said pets
@@michellem7300 oh sorry, i was tired that time so I probably didn’t read “pets”
like a damn apocalypse. this is so terrifying. Praying for my friends back home.
Apocalypse signifie : Révélation et non pas destruction.
It's nice to see a video posted by a news channel that didn't start with an anchor explaining what we are about to see, then passed to a reporter who explains it in more detail, then shown in clips while the reporter talks over it.
Literally not a moment to spare. Can't imagine the terror these people endured.
Imagine the people who don't drive ⁉️😭 I don't drive God I would be dead
@@michaeldiehl2458 you would be cared for by the police and fire department. you'd walk over to that car with the emergency lights on
@@michaeldiehl2458 You wouldn't shop at Costco if you don't drive.
The Costco didn't burn down, they werer safer inside.
@@iGame3D ok fire marshall i’ll make sure to contact you first if i’m in this situation.
Worst time to lose the keys
True - tho fortunately we can know he has them since he drove there.🤗
Whoever that employee was leading the evacuation, he is a hero for staying behind to ensure others were saved.
Why is everyone going outside where the fire is? The store is concrete, the parking lot is asphalt, and there’s fire sprinklers inside. Am I missing something?
@@user-ln7of9gs4s Yes you’re missing a whole lot I can’t believe how clueless you are smoke kills not fire
@@MsLouisVee clueless? This is smoke from a brush fire, not toxic smoke from a fire burning inside the store. What’s outside? Smoke. How many people died in the store or parking lot from the smoke? See how ridiculous that sounds?
@@user-ln7of9gs4s So you’re saying that everyone should’ve just stayed inside of Costco? Don’t you think the smoke would eventually come into the building? I can’t believe you’re saying that. You are joking right? Trying to start an argument right? because you can’t be for real
the smoke is still dangerous. it comes from gases and burning trees, and small little particles that have various symptoms that you can go look up. if they stayed inside the store, and the smoke filled inside, that'd not be so great. and because they stayed inside, and let the fire spread around them, they can't get out. soooooo don't get what you're saying here.
OMG- those poor people. I hope everyone made it. That wind is just incredible.
I agree with you.
Ok….?
@@The1Yeshua ?
As far as I know only 2 people missing as of now.
No reported human deaths yet but a lot of pets and wild animals died in the fires.
Praying for all of them. Northern California can relate. Watching fire tunnels that my friends escaped through is horrifying. God bless and comfort all of them.
Excuse me I think the whole weskan related this not just you Californians come on
@@b0bhumperdinck795 their probably saying northern cali because that's where they are from. they said they can relate, not that they're the only ones who can. calm the fvck down.
Feel terrible for everyone, especially those women alone with children. Arms full of kids, and dragging others by the hand. Hope they all got out.
💕
We were just there a few days ago - so sad. Praying for everyone involved and to everyone who has family and friends out there.
Puffy jackets, SUVs and big screen TVs. Haha, you win the America prize.
Looks like a scene straight outta The Mist. Crazy how fast the fire spread!
That's what I thought
So scary!
21 years in wildland fire. This is in incomprehensible level to me.
@@mamixon100 man, you think THIS is bad? Wait till the earthquakes start hitting. This'll be nothing compared to the hell those bad boys will unleash.
My very first thought when I saw the parking lot/cars.
Having lived thru 2 wildfires in San Diego, watching this brought up all the feelings of fear and I started crying. I'm truly sorry you all had to go thru this.
Huge hugs to you...

Let me know please, if you agree
Its good that California is burning.....the whole state can burn in hell while we laugh
From California. I Hope you guys are all safe and sound out there. Much love to you Colorado💗
No one can fathom the terror that these people are facing, you can't see, you can't breathe and it can happen so instantaneously. I escaped one in Bandalier Park, northern New Mexico years before cell phones, etc. The daylight just disappeared it turned into darkness and all you can see was a big huge orange glow coming at you pretty scary.
Heard, yes, absolutely.
I lost friends in Oregon's mega fire. My farm and animals were 8 miles away from the flames. It is hell on earth.
I was backpacking in the wind rivers & we could see the glow... we were headed out, day one of two, but a ranger on horseback met us as we neared our expected campsite, & we were told to head all the way out.
That was close enough for me. I find this the most terrifying of all the possible natural disasters.
My heart breaks for these people.
How scary to walk out into that. I can’t imagine the feeling 😭
Walking into Hell
Living in California where this isn’t uncommon. You do get used to it. You also change a few things about your lifestyle. You make sure you aren’t on empty in your car, you carry a case of water in your trunk in case you will be away from your home for a bit. You can go a while without food but in the California summer heat you can’t go long without water. You make sure you at least have a small fire safe with the most important documents in it in case you aren’t home and your home succumbs to the fire hopefully those documents will survive. I personally this last year to prep for fire scanned in ALL our old family photos that were taken on film. It took a weeks but they are all saved digitally as well. We have about 5 large boxes of old family photo albums. I won’t have the room for 5 large boxes of photos if we are evacuating in a hurry, but I have room for one USB drive. You just get used to it and be aware when you see news of a fire. There are other things but they are more based on individual situation. It’s like if you live in an area where snowfall is crazy, or there are frequent tornadoes, or even hurricanes, you just prepare for it as best you can. I keep fresh 5 gallon jugs of water, one jug for each member of my household, I swap them out annually I also have the 3 day food kits. Those are at home in case of a really bad earthquake that takes out infrastructure and makes it difficult to prepare food. I’ve been thinking of getting a whole house backup generator for when they cut the power for weeks when the wind blows but that’s a bit out of my price range. My little 2000 watt will run one appliance at a time when needed and if I gotta leave the area I can throw it in the back of the car. I can’t do that with a whole house generator.
Dont say climate change because President Trump said it is a China hoax. I live in CA and in 2020 we had fires here during a dry and extremely hot summer. In Sept 2020, President Trump visited CA and assured us that it was going to get cooler and the fires would go away. Sure enough it did get cooler. President Trump has an innate ability to predict the future! Uncanny! Please ask President Trump to visit.
@@henrylee8510 I don’t wanna get political I really dunno what you are referencing but I’ve lived in California all my life. When I was in school I was taught California was a desert… I remember when I was in school we would get up in the morning to go to school my Mom’s car was covered in ash during the fire season. I also remember, and still have photos of it, the owner of the place I worked for a years ago, his house burned down in a wildfire and he asked some of us to help put out sandbags to keep his valuables from washing away in the rain before he had the chance to go through it. It happens and has happened for years. Ever heard of the dust bowl? It was a problem due to poor farming techniques and I think like an 8 year severe drought back in the 1930’s. Not much new here.
They would've been safer to stay inside Costco. Instead they push people out in a panic into near zero visibility smoke, raging winds. Many people don't make good decisions under those conditions, like which road to take or not. So you've got frantic people driving here & there in terrible visibility all which makes the situation much deadlier. It would suck to get your car disabled in a crash, then have the fire overtake you.
Hope all of the people are ok
This fire was incredibly fast!!
That’s terrifying. Hell on earth
My heart goes out to all that are affected by this wind and fire. Praying for you all
The 2017 Camp fire in Paradise, CA all over again. Stay safe people!!
My prayers are with you all.. how scary it would be to step out of a Costco and into this situation. Those kids crying 😞
Am sorry about this happen just before News year's Eve,l pray that all the animals and children and people are doing fine and safe,
Please be careful safe travels everyone.
Interesting how people put animals first before people 👫
@@bechill3784 More like they just want to remind people that your pets has a life too and they also deserve to live 🤨
A lot of people choose to leave their pets to die because they are "replaceable" and that's just plain disgusting especially if you are in a situation where you can save them
@@bechill3784 I know I do. Animals are pure, innocent souls, unlike humans. My first concern is always for the animals.
@Zac's DIY Guns One of the reasons cited by firefighters that they couldn't contain this was the winds drove it faster than they could drive. How many animals can outrun a fire truck? Also how many pets stuck in homes to which folks couldn't return from work due to road closures can open the garage doors & drive the secondary vehicle to safety ahead of such fast moving flames? And also, o bright shining arbiter of intelligence, who the F said this arid landscape can't burn?
@Zac's DIY Guns You literally called someone stupid for worrying about animals because they can run despite that many animals (pets, farm animals or wildlife) didn't have a chance in the face of such fast moving devastation, but then you get all picky about what constitutes a desert when clearly the person meant a place devoid of combustible materials. Ever hear of the Dunning-Kruger effect?
I was nearby, It went from a very windy day to fire everywhere in about 8 min. It takes 8 minutes just to walk to the food section of Costco
This breaks my heart, to hear the fear & urgency, especially the children.
And that Costco is gone. So thankful everyone got out.
Wow, what a way to get thrown out of Costco, "Everybody out of the store now : "Run". Heart breaking.
My heart breaks for these people this is something I would never have to deal with where I live...my thoughts and prayers are with you
@Zac's DIY Guns --- Depends on the desert.
and these kind of rude statements show WHY our world has come to so much devaststion!!! Be kind! God is sending BIG MESSAGES!!!
Good thing you prayed. God was waiting on someone to beg him to stop people from suffering.
@Stephan Schlösser all of you are so blind and so gullible. this is all contrived, planned and carried out by the gvt. why can't you see it? this is just one more of many that will take down more cities across the country and it has nothing to do with cliimate change. i'm so sick of you morons who are glued to your tv believing every lie they tell you.
@@insanity6829 oh please, they are NOT acts of GOD, they are intentional and instrumented by the gvt. NWO.
I used to shop at that Costco. I remember the fires a few years ago when it was essentially snowing ash from the mountain fires, but this is something completely different.
Lord have mercy 😔
It looks like CA for 2 years😞😢
Please at this point, what makes you believe God is going to help them. Only they can save them.
Just remember this is Colorado. When those people walked in the skies were clear and blue. When the walked out the sky was dark. Scary how fast this happened and why we couldn't do anything to stop it as advanced as we are or like to think we are as a species
That yelling cop saved lives
The lady with the checkered vest and the boy with a blue and white hoodie is actually my sister and nephew, I was there with my 11 year old daughter too we are way behind them. Hope that everyone that was there quickly got away , sending my prayers🙏
I hope that you and your family are alright.

OMG, the air was already full of smoke when they exited. This is terrifying, how will they know which way to drive away to safety?
I'm sure a policeman was at the exits to point the direction!
I am so in shock at this. So unbelievable horrific
In this situation, staying put in your car in the parking lot is the safest place in the world to be. Thousands of people in Paradise, California,sheltered in place in cars in big box store parking lots - and survived.
In a wildfire: Evacuation by car is a window of opportunity that closes.
It's good to have an evacuation route planned out, and use satellite maps to identify good shelter-in-place options when you are stuck in traffic, or cannot drive safely in smoke / flames.
Look for wide open spaces where there's nothing to burn nearby. Big box store parking lots are good - as long as you're not close too the building, and not parked where a tree can fall on you.
When planning your escape routes:
Look for baseball diamonds, barren fields, construction sites, golf courses, etc. Take notes of culverts and bridges in case you have to leave your vehicle.
Everywhere that water passes under a road is either a bridge or a culvert.
Bottom line is, you cannot outrun a fire, not even in a car. Never, ever drive in dense smoke / flames, or enter any road when you are not 100% sure the route is clear ahead of you.
If you're in a traffic jam, pull over into a suitable parking lot.
Do not leave a perfectly good shelter-in- place option for a questionable escape route.
I heard him yelling "Go east!" at the beginning.
The way to safety is the opposite direction of the smoke. 👍
Man this is a good reminder to always be prepared for the worst. One minute you're just walking around in a store , the next minute cops are yelling get out now! That would be so scary to be in that situation
And then you walk out into a parking lot filled with smoke and zero visibility, that must've been scary for the people in boulder involved in the marshall fire
What on Earth is going on over the pond. Huge fires, tornadoes, LA flooding. WTF guys.
Terrifying! And I'm familiar with the sheer terror that come from wildfires: I live in B.C. Canada. Last summer we had 2 months of continual life threatening wildfires that scorched over half a million hectares of land. My prayers are with Boulder County.
Yes, that was dreadful. The whole town of Vernon was evacuated at one point. I have several BC relatives. Seeing the aftermath of this is stunning.

This year is lot of catastrophe..keep safe everyone..God bless
Sadly, more to come. But this is only earthly life. People must repent and give their life to Jesus Christ for eternal life.
yes.
precursor to '22.
mind your ways, friend.
so so so grateful my 12 year old sister was able to fly out of there in time back to my moms…hoping for the best for everyone’s safety…
Experts say commercial air travel accounts for about 3 to 4 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Your sisters flight contributed to this fire. Keep thinking your personal travel conveinance is more important than a livable planet and fire like this will be on your doorstep sooner rather than later.
@@iGame3D yeah yeah, continue to hate on technology while you have paranoia attacks in your 1 bedroom apartment. Hope those noises aren’t too much little buddy!
That must have been so scary for all involved 😱 I can never find my keys in my bag as it’s full of everything. I’m definitely preparing myself better now. You just never know what’s around the corner!
My solution was a keyring beaded elasticized bracecellet. I highly recommend.
I lived in Boulder last year, wild. Hopefully these people will be safe, sending prayers out
Prayers are about as useful as staring into the sun.
Omg this is terrifying
Wow! So scary! Prayers for the people of Colorado!🙏🙏
Devastating😔🙏
No high five, Robert. Not sure I understand......this is beyond heartbreaking, now, and the days to follow....my prayers, and, thoughts for all involved....🙏
@Robert Smith not a high five. Hands together in front of my heart.....prayers, healing thoughts, and, good juju for everyone affected.....this isn't just open space, its subdivisions, schools, homes, and shopping centers.....massive destruction on a scale not seen before......the new normal in this ever-changing world we live in........💝
He’s messing with you. Those ARE praying hands. You’re correct.
Jesus have mercy on them and please stop the fire and winds!!!
Amen
How can Jesus have mercy on us when we did this??? Our greed, lies, and selfishness? Jesus can only help those who repent, not those who find excuses to continue to sin. We did this. We are nothing more than parasites consuming our host. THIS is human exacerbated climate change and evidence of a shorten existence for humans. Along with the animals, we will go extinct via fire, disease, weather, food and water shortages, insanity and more. Hope you are all satisfied with your gas autos, your natural resources material consumerism, your meat consumption, and more atrocities against the only planet for which we have to live. Sincerely sorry I could not state better of us, but we have known about climate change since the industrial age, and definitely since the 60s. We did this.
@@AllysonJFlagg Wow. Shame on you, lady. I don't know about you, but Jesus died for my sins, and you are the last person on this earth to be talking about repentance and declaring whom Jesus "can" and cannot help. You don't have a clue. The planet is your god. I pray that you repent and come to be a kinder, gentler, more reasonable person before your own end, lest the hatred in your heart seal another fate for you.
If you believe in God, trust Him, not man. Do not aim your vile hateful tongue at your brothers and sisters in Christ while we pray.
I hate to break it to you, honey, but this planet was never meant to last forever. It was meant to pass away just like everything God created, since the fall of man, including us. BUT all has been made right in Christ's sacrifice out of love for you, and for the world. So relax. Your puffed up, meaningless rage will die away as if it never even existed. Meanwhile, let an actual Christian pray for mercy for those who are suffering in peace without your store bought granola rant.
@@smittysmeee Your burn it all down jesus has it covered mythology is cute, and naive, and psychotic and species ending and an extinction level event and fascism all rolled into one with a cherry coup on top and a wacko orange nutbag as savior. Bizzaro world.
I have a bachelor's degree in fire and life safety from Western Oregon University that was paid for by the US Navy. I was working in intell declassifying aerial photos of Vietnam and creating fact books, which meant I had security clearance from ying yang and back. I also studied wildfire behavior at Oregon State University as part of my graduate program. I can no longer call these fires as those performing under the known biological principles of God. They are outside all expectations of what we have known of fires for centuries. Therefore, I suggest we look outside the box at two concerns:
1) A concern I have (and one I am leaning into) is global warming changes in our oxygen and release of methane from the permafrost. The air currents (air composition) carry tiny unseen particles for thousands of miles which could also be the cause of why we are getting fires that are beyond our known experiences.
2) What human behavior and technologies could cause these new fire patterns? I am not talking down power lines, Jewish Lazers from Space, or even climate change. However, I am concerned that after observing several years of unusual fires and experiencing one such fire in Oregon, that these fires may be opportunistic warfare hidden behind climate change and drought conditions. My trained eye saw at least 5 different fire spots on the horizon of Colorado's recent fires that were evenly spaced apart and the selection of what burned and did not burn was not entirely from a wind pattern. These are known patterns from all the recent mega fires but are not patterns from earlier fires a decade ago. FYI: I am Franciscan of the Franciscan Order, IE: Christian and believer in the Blood of Jesus and I also tell the truth. We did this and we are destroying the earth God gave us. We were supposed to be care takers of the Earth, and instead, we are killing her. My research on climate change includes the bible. Here is one such verse where God speaks to us of our sins and the outcome. Ecc 3: 18-21 Man has NO advantage over animals. We all die the same. And Ecc 3:10. And especially THIS: Psalm 28: 1-9. "....since they show no regard for the works of the Lord and what His hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again...." Instead of pointing fingers and screaming hate at people, make an effort to read and understand what the bible is saying. I couch my whole first comment on this last verse. Stop being ignorant and ask God to show you His truth in His word, not YOUR version of it.
Seeing those children made me cry. I hope they have homes to come back to. 😪
What a nightmare.
Sending Our thoughts and Prayers to You From Your Neighbors in Conifer !!!
I am having flashbacks to the 2017 & '18 N. Cal. wildfires.
Heartbreaking! So glad all got out safe.
I heard today that there are 3 missing. One being an elderly grandmother. It is amazing though that virtually all escaped.
Pray no one is hurt.
The world is in a state of Chaos. Praying for everyone.
Actions>Prayers.
@@TheStabbyCyclist ok troll
@@TheStabbyCyclist,
Prayer IS an action. And the fact that America has so many atheists now who don't believe in God, and Jesus, you can see the results of THAT.
Most expensive fire in Colorado history due to loss of property. Over 600 homes, a hotel in Superior burned down, the Target next to this Costco caught fire, and subdivision directly behind this Costco totally gone...over 300 homes obliterated.
cool. did it fall from heaven?
I know how scary this is, I went thru the huge wildfire that hit Oregon back in 2020, man I have never seen the sky so red in my life.
This is so spooky I have spent time at this costco and to witness this on you tube is unreal. This was such a nice modern area and to see it burn is heartbreaking With a housing shortage around Denver we must all help in any way God bless them
Did the building look as if it could catch fire, or was it separated enough from other structures?
@@laurelbrennan6295 it's not packed like manhattan or anything.
ALL that shit was going to be on fire
even the deer were going to die in that
nah.
we must help them all move back to california and texas.
This is definitely not going to help inflation or the housing shortage. 2021 just decided to spit on your face one last time.
@@conworldus8310 yes, that's a lot of housing stock and wealth that went up in smoke
I was going to go to Costco right around that time but got stuck in gridlock on South Boulder Road
Gridlock in an emergency situation is terrifying. You're a sitting duck for whatever may come.
This footage is absolutely terrifying.
Can't even imagine going grocery shopping with a clear blue sky and then being told to evacuate the store into something that looks straight out of the apocalypse less than an hour later.
That looks basically apocalyptic.... Jesus
It feels like the end of time, very scary.
Hope everyone is okay.
April 9, 2021, before going to bed, my vision went black for a quick moment, and then I saw in gold letters: Thus saith the Lord. I saw it, puzzled over it, didn't know what to make of it. April 10, 2021, a few hours later, during my sleep I heard: Prophet. Tell them I am coming soon. Maybe 3-5 min after that, at 12:35 AM, our area had a small earthquake registering 3.1. In April of 2019, I have heard: Tell them I am coming soon! Then later in the day: There will be a great shaking. April 10 I was told to tell them I am coming soon and then I actually experienced an earthquake right after that. When I didn't do what I was told the first time in 2019, I received a dream about it. It involved a church member being in the dark and someone dressed in white walking behind him, left to right, and up some stairs.
Crazy how the wind really dictates the majority of the event. Winds were the fuel for this fire more than the flammable material itself.
Prayers for every one from the Oregon Coast (Florence)
I hope those people with children are ok.
OK, who in the hell goes shopping in the path of an oncoming, very obvious, massive fire?
Some Paradise, CA shit...👀
I know this was 2 years ago, but my daughter and I were just at this Costco yesterday afternoon. This is part of a shopping center with multiple big box stores. So, you can imagine all of those stores trying to get everyone out of their buildings. Add to that, this Costco has a gas station on the side of the building directly near the entrance and exit to park and leave. In addition, you can imagine a couple of thousand cars trying to leave the shopping center all at the same time, not being able to see where they're going and no emergency management on scene to direct traffic because their job is to put out the fire. There were zero warnings in this fire as there were zero warnings in the Waldo Canyon fire in Colorado Springs of 2012. Colorado's warning system and evacuation planning needs massive overhaul as there has been nothing learned from the Waldo Canyon fire more than a decade ago.
Prayers for all
OMG...when the people walk out of the store...your immediately overwhelmed with smoke....almost like the blind leading the blind because you can't see! PRAYING FOR EVERYONE and those who lost their homes to the fire....BE SAFE...KEEP FAMILY EVEN CLOSER! Luv U
Keep faith anybody reading this LUV YALL
I'm still shocked!I grew up in superior and my parents still live there. Its unreal! I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe where everything has gone wrong.
Bless all of these people...
How scary is that?? Poor folks.
Oh my God That's heartbreaking .those children .and everyone I hope everyone left ok
Way to remain calm as possible through that. That would be terrifying. That wind off the front range can be brutal by itself, but smoke, ash, fire, uh uh. I grew up just south in Arvada and know this area reasonably well and it hurts seeing images of this.
God Bless & Protect Everyone in Colorado.....
That looks like they walked into the apocalypse. Wow. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It's not often that Colorado gets fires in December. I know there has not been sufficient rain or snowfall most of the season, thus everything is exceptionally dry.
Totally feel bad for these people. There has to be a better warning system looked at in these high risk fire areas.
🙏THAT EVERYONE GOT OUT SAFELY
Such a sad situation. I did notice one big thing. Didn’t appear to be any looting going on. Imagine if this happened in LA. Good folks of Colorado stay safe and heart goes out to you.
LA says bite me.
@@77hodag Truth hurts LA.
In Colorado you’re allowed to carry a gun in California you are not allowed that’s the difference
BS. Anyone would run for their lives in that situation in any city. Stupid statement.
@@jcoats5529 You’d like to think so. But you know the truth. Cities like Portland and LA would have mass looting! Even if the city was burning down around them. True statement.
such a weird contrast: so fresh, clean, and bright inside the store
GO GO GO!!!
me: wait; you're going to make me walk outside into THAT?
Chilling
I was just thinking , I would be so devastated ,going shopping and my pets are at home and I am not allowed to go back home.
But in this situation ,most likely , I would have left the area already with my animals .
I bet people wished they remembered where they parked.
Omg what a nightmare
I'm glad somebody filmed this!
The first time any of those people ever left a Costco without spending over $300.
what do you buy? filet mignon and lobster? hard for me to leave over 150.
That would be a scary thing to see coming out.
A few weeks before the Marshall Fire in Colorado there were very strong winds that blew grass fires in parts of Kansas into full-fledged firestorms in no time at all. Unfortunately, those fires burned down several towns in Kansas. The circumstances in those Kansas fires were nearly identical to this situation in Colorado. What started out as a small grass fire on the Kansas prairie quickly grew into a huge firestorm in mere minutes. People were literally running for their lives in those horrifying Kansas fires just like this situation in Colorado. I can’t imagine too many situations more terrifying than something like this!
This is so sad
My prayers are with u all
💔💔💔💔This is heartbreaking 💔💔💔💔
Hopefully everyone is safe
I hope everyone got out safely.
This world is falling apart 💔😢

@@sharonmorine5407 happy new year sharon and cathy 😁
@@kmcdivot don't be so hateful cathy no need for it just let it be 👌🏻😁
So these people were in there for so long they didn't know about the fire? Didn't they smell all that smoke?
Omg how frightening! Hope all those people found safety. To hear that guy say to evacuate and head east is so surreal!
In December!! of all months to have a fire! Crazy, just crazy
Oh wow hope everyone is ok
The safest thing for them would have been to just stay in the parking lot. Nothing to burn in a parking lot.
And that is that moment when you realize the only thing that matters the most is your life.
Did costco get on fire too?
Is this in the same shopping center as the target?
Yes it was the one my dad told me about
That is terrifying
