Marysville's gone? Even the station? Well, crap.

TV News says there is one building standing.

What amazes me about the aerial photos there is that there are lots of burned houses there, but fewer burned trees than makes sense to me.

Seriously, though: Arson on this level should be considered some sort of something extra. It's more than just homicide. It's almost a sort of terrorism, though it doesn't carry that intent. It's just . . . beyond.
