    Amaxing capture Ern. It looks like an etching. As if these townsfolk didnt have enought to worry about then the threat of landslides. This image just shows the devastation. Nothing was left. I was up there a day after the fires hit..it was rancid, hot, smokey and devastating for all involved. I have never seen anything like it..and hope to never again.

    Great capture Ern, this is so graphic, the cars and roadway are the only thing that gives one a sense of the scale of the devastation.
