The Destruction of Lytton, British Columbia

Here's a overhead photograph of the destruction from the wildfire that swept through Lytton, British Columbia, Canada on June 30th, the day after it reached 49.6°C (121.3°F), the hottest temperature recorded in the recent Pacific Northwest heat wave. Almost like there was some cosmic plan. Via The Guardian.

What a lovely little town. Was.

“the day after it reached 49.6°C (121.3°F), the hottest temperature recorded in the recent Pacific Northwest heat wave.“

It was the hottest temperature ever recorded in Canada.

The previous Canadian records for hottest temperature was 45 degrees set in Yellow Grass and Midale in Saskatchewan on July 5, 1937.

It will be a long time before that record is broken... hopefully.
