First we had a nice lunch, gotta have lunch, and then we decided to have a swing by Sharon’s neighborhood destroyed by the fire. I thought I’d be able to get better pictures off the internet but none of them looked like what we saw. Above is Sharon’s lot. We could tell because the back side of a fountain survived. Below is more of the lot.
The US Army Corp of Engineers scraped all the burned ground about 6 inches deep removing contaminated soil, ash, and structural debris. A lot of weeds are grown in and every block or two had a couple houses being built. I’m not saying rebuilt because there was nothing left and I expect everything will be coming back bigger.
Here’s an aerial from the internet before the removal project.
