Something caught my eye this evening. I was driving in west Greeley when I saw a column of air with smoke being pulled into the updraft of a developing thunderstorm west of Greeley. I had to know what was going on, so I drove west on 34. Around 8pm off Hwy 34 and 94th Ave in Greeley there was a fire with 120 bails of hay on fire. Windsor and Union Colony Fire rescue responded to this fire. The fire department said the cause was unknown, they had trouble finding water to put it out but a blessing came as it started raining. Their concern for the fire went down because of the precipitation. I thought it made cool pictures as the smoke was being pulled into the updraft.
