Wildfires have been out of control in the Northwest for the past few weeks, and even scientists are freaked out by them.
Some people are being allowed back to their properties and are finally able to survey the damage. This person's entire cabin was "fused into an 8 inch pile of melted glass, metal & plastic."
We finally got unrestricted access to my mom's property after the fires. That flat area was once a cabin. Everything fused into an 8 inch pile of melted glass, metal & plastic. Despite all the destruction it seems like all the redwoods survived. No way to know yet but hopeful.
To put into perspective just how strong the fires have been, here's a collection of melted objects found left behind.
