A haunting sight...

[moonbeamsfanfic]

The Global News Helicopter flew over Slave Lake today and got some very stark, very clear footage of the damage the town took. That pile of rubble at 4:50? That's the Town Hall. Yet the Canada and Alberta flags out front are still flying strong.

The video is completely soundless. I think it adds something indefinable to the images. Silence has a powerful voice.

Wow, that's just...wow.

You know, I used to live in Montana. One year, fires got really bad, but nothing like this. It's...I'm speechless.

Damn, that's a lot of damage. The houses are surreal, just an outline to indicate a house used to be there.
