Drone video shows apocalyptic scenes of Oregon city nearly wiped out by wildfire
An apocalyptic drone video emerged on Monday showing patches of red fire retardant blanketing whole neighborhoods in Talent - block after block of homes completely burned to the ground.
Families picked through the ash and debris in Talent, Oregon, in the hope of finding any belongings - including pets - after the Almeda fires burned their entire neighborhood to the ground.
After four days of brutally hot, windy weather, the weekend brought calmer winds blowing inland from the Pacific Ocean.
The cooler, moister conditions helped crews make headway against blazes that burned unchecked last week, but emergency officials worried the shifting weather still would not bring enough rain to help quell the fires.
Wildfires across Oregon, California and Washington state have killed 35 people and destroyed thousands of homes and a half-dozen small towns since August, scorching more than 4 million acres (1.6 million hectares) in the three states.
In Oregon, the state's Department of Emergency Services said 22 people were missing in the series of blazes that swept across the southern portion of the state last week.
