Further away, across the river valley the hoodoos and cliff faces are lit in brilliant red and orange light.

Trees uprooted and tossed aside, sidewalks and paths just washed away, fence posts just hanging over the sides of the river bed. There is very little wildlife in the park now, this little guy found his way back, hopefully others will follow.
