Colorado Wildfire Destroys Homes, Spreads

"BLACK FOREST, Colo. -- Shifting winds whipped flames through the winding roads and hills of Black Forest on Wednesday, forcing new evacuations and sending a plume of thick smoke across the Front Range."

"Dozens of residents received the news they had been dreading: The Black Forest fire had destroyed their homes. Others were left with something almost worse: The agony of not knowing.

'That's the hardest part, the waiting,' said Sharon Rambo, who shared news with other evacuees in a makeshift trailer park in a Walmart parking lot. 'You can't confirm if your house is there or not, so you can't move in any direction. You're just sort of paralyzed.'"
