Examples
-
Where before there existed a mostly upper-middle-class semisuburban enclave of well-kept houses and larger-than-average lawns (along with their two-car garages and well-landscaped flora), now it was, all of it, land reduced to a charred, smoking stubble, still burning so strong it made your eyes water; the only way anyone might have known houses had ever stood there was from the occasional semi-crumbled brick chimney (or, even eerier, set of stone steps, now leading nowhere).
