As the smoke lifts, the full destruction of the wildfires in Oregon is beginning to reveal itself.
A chain of small mountain communities, dotted along Highway-22, east of the state capital Salem, has been left as nothing more than ashes by the Beachie Creek fire.The fire has burned almost 200,000 acres of land and killed four people and left others missing. Few residents have yet been allowed to return to those communities, to see for themselves what they fear has been left behind.
The devastation to some properties is total. Homes and businesses reduced to embers, the odd recognisable household item somehow surviving the flames as a poignant reminder of life before.In the ruins of one house, a china mug and a fork stick out almost untouched by the flames in the still-smouldering landscape. It is a sad reminder of so much that has been lost.

'Everybody is scared but we're hopeful': Oregon town tries to stay positive in the face of fires'I don't think science knows.' US President Donald Trump has downplayed the impact of climate change on raging west coast wildfires, saying he doesn't think 'science knows' and that it 'will soon get cooler'. Latest: its like looking at a child's 'my first book' the one with wooden blocks on the cover with A, B & C on it & no doubt a dunces hat somewhere in the background. Oh but Obama said the science of climate change was settled long ago ... now you’re saying that science is an ongoing / neverending enquiry into nature and it is never settled? (Insert leftard outrage here) He really doesn’t have a clue 🤣🤣🤣🤣 drink bleach, no climate change. Scientists don’t know lol 😂 idiot
