Shambhala Mountain Center evacuation update: “good news so far”

Following on our news about Colorado's Shambhala Mountain Center, which has been evacuated due to encroaching wildfires, Executive Director Jon Barbieri yesterday issued a new update, which reads in part: "The valley is smoky today as the wind has shifted, coming from the southeast, which means it is blowing the fire towards our area in general. Though the wind was expected to pick up by mid -day, the good news so far, (by mid-afternoon), is that the wind is 5 miles/hour or less. The fire fighters were able to complete some of their back burning, (tactically setting controlled fires to areas in the path of the main fire in the hopes of burning up future fuel), so this is good, but we do not know how much they were able to complete. The most updated information from the Fire Administrators is that almost 50,000 acres has burned and they continue to look at the western region (basically our direction) with concern because of the dead trees in the area. There are now over 1,300 personnel involved on the ground in this effort as the state and federal government continue to add resources.

"A number of our staff are in Boulder working with the Boulder Shambhala Center staff in preparing for the Kurukulla Abhisheka with the Sakyong which begins tonight."
