US towns destroyed as firefighters battle wildfires under orange skies

Hundreds of homes including entire communities were razed by wildfires in the western United States Wednesday, as officials warned of potential mass deaths under apocalyptic orange skies.

Photos of the eerie scene, particularly of a San Francisco skyline fit for a dystopian science fiction film, spread quickly on social media. “Our office… located the remains of three people,” said Butte County sheriff Kory Honea. “I certainly hope that this isn’t the trend. But, folks, time and time again we’ve seen how dangerous wildfires can be.”
