Roughly 36 hours before third anniversary of disastrous, catastrophic December 2021 Boulder County, #Colorado Marshall Fire, National Weather Service has issued high wind watch AND fire weather watch for Monday 12/30 - west winds 30-40 MPH, 75 MPH gusts possible 😕
P.S. incoming libertarian MAGAfascist privatization billionaires, industry henchmen behind Heritage Foundation Project 2025 want to "fully commercialize" weather reports😡

Denver Post: "Xcel Energy is facing nearly 300 lawsuits filed by homeowners, local governments and retail giant Target in the wake of the second anniversary of the Marshall fire, and attorneys filing the cases say the legal arguments over liability will be complex because of the deadly wildfire’s two known origin points." denverpost.com/2024/01/12/mars #MarshallFire #wildfire #lawsuits #law

Xcel Energy is facing nearly 300 lawsuits filed by homeowners, local governments and retail giant Target in the wake of the second anniversary of the Marshall fire, and attorneys filing the cases say the legal arguments over liability will be complex because of the deadly wildfire’s two known origin points. Those 281 lawsuits represent a far greater number of plaintiffs, however, since some of them have been filed by multiple homeowners, insurance companies and government agencies; one lawsuit filed last summer, for example, includes nearly 250 individual plaintiffs. The Marshall fire, which raged across parts of unincorporated Boulder County, Superior and Louisville on Dec. 30, 2021, killed two people and destroyed 1,084 homes and additional commercial properties — more than $2 billion in total property damage. Noelle Phillips writes.
