motherjones: When Hani Ahmad left his home in Colorado Springs as the Waldo Canyon fire raced down the mountainside, he expected to return. When he did, the house where his family has lived for two decades was a smoldering hole in the ground. The only recognizable remnant was a melted hunk of stove. As the family rounded the corner for the first time, Hani’s daughter captured the horror on her phone. The family agreed to share the footage with Climate Desk, offering an exclusive look into the heart of the destruction. Got five minutes? Watch this.

  15. remainders said: It’s heartbreaking to witness the Ahmads return to a pile of ashes that once was their home. However, this video is so maddeningly short on actual science that it can only help the deniers. Not good, MJ.
