Here are the top stories today in Boulder:

1. California wildfire survivors offer Marshall Fire victims advice.

It was a unique opportunity to exchange stories and offer advice to those impacted by last December's Boulder County fire. (FOX31)
2. CU South referendum poised for November election. Two groups that are opposed to the annexation of the land that CU owns in South Boulder submitted more than 5,700 signatures. It's now in City Council's hands, which will likely put the issue on this November's ballot. (CO Daily)
3. Better check your home insurance. It's estimated that more than half of those that lost their homes in Louisville were underinsured, in some cases by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Then there's the city's new net-zero building code, which adds another $30k to the total. (Reporting Lab)
