So today I learn that the National Weather Service has a "particularly dangerous situation" designation that is more severe than a red flag warning. There has never been one in Colorado -- until now.

I would have rather not learned that.

@corbet Forgive my ignorance of weather issues there at this time of the year, but what condition is the warning for?
EDIT: Ah, we found it - a fire warning in conditions of high wind and very low humidity.
Scary even reading it. Hope you're nowhere near the highway mentioned in the report.

@dentangle "Lashed to the keyboard" sounds an awful lot like my normal state anyway...
