Major forest fire evacuations hit Colorado and Nebraska
Lightning sparked dozens of new fires across the drought plagued West as National Guard units were mobilized. Nebraska Governor Kay Orr toured the Fort Robinson area after evacuations of 1,000 tourists and dozens of hospital residents, as crews battled spread across about 25,000 acres and officials warned the blaze could last days.
