This is an incredible Mad Max-like shot of the Oakridge mobile home park that was ravaged by the California wildfires. As always, you can double click the photo for a closer look.
Most of the homes in the Oakridge mobile home park, which reportedly had 600-800 homes, lie in ruins after burning in the Sylmar Fire on November 15, 2008 in Sylmar, California. The fire began last night and was fueled to more than 2,600 acres by strong erratic winds in excess of 70 miles per hour which kept firefighting aircraft grounded in the morning.

Here in the Midwest, we find that trailer parks are tornado magnets. If there’s a tornado coming through, I promise you it’s going to find the local trailer park. So now I see there’s a reason not to live in a trailer park in California, too. Just where can a guy go that his double-wide is safe?

Actually, that did sound a little less than sympathetic. I really am sorry that all those people lost their homes and I am SO glad no one lost their life. But I wonder if anybody has ever considered making trailers out of concrete?

What an incredible shot. Reminds me of ground zero from 9-11. It is amazing how devastating these fires can be.
