And a friend in Ft. Collins reports that the city streetlights are on at 2pm because of smoke.
Here in Greeley, it's been twilight since dawn.

From https://www.facebook.com/EstesParkNews --

It’s 2:00 pm, but dark as night in downtown Estes Park! All shops and businesses are closed... it’s like a ghost town except for all of the vehicles trying to flee. We are evacuating along with so many others who are trying to get out of town during this mandatory evacuation from the East Troublesome Fire!
