Paradise, CA: Before and after fotos of the town's wildfire destruction
2018-11-14
[BBC] The town of Paradise in Butte County in northern California has been engulfed by the deadliest wildfire in the state's history.

Thousands of the town's structures were completely destroyed in just a matter of hours as the blaze, named the Camp Fire, tore through the area.

Before and after images across the community show the extent of its destruction.

The wooded community, set close to the Sierra Nevada mountains, was particularly popular among retirees.

The Ridgewood Mobile Home Park was among the areas almost completely flattened by the fire.

#3  That's not the only town in the state where the roads are totally inadequate. But, oh well, we have illegal aliens to feed.

#2  Interestingly enough, that controlled burn at Los Alamos coincided with the onset of an investigation into Chinese spying and ongoing penetration of the facility. Oh well, nothing to see here.

#1  Here's an image taken after a 'controlled burn' by the US Forest Service. See - Cerro Grande Fire [Over 400 families in the town of Los Alamos, New Mexico, lost their homes in the resulting 48,000-acre fire.]

Driving south on I25 I looked in the rear view mirror and saw this. Thought someone had 'bad instant day' at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Fortunately, it was the feds just burning down the place.
