Dozens of extreme wind-driven wildfires burned through forests and towns in U.S. West Coast states on Thursday, destroying hundreds of homes and killing at least eight people, authorities said. Drone footage captured the extent of the damage on residential streets with little left but the foundations of houses. Several burnt-out vehicles and flattened structures were all that remained of a farm in Eagle Point. Meanwhile, the Almeda fire flattened properties, businesses and homes in towns along Highway 99, including Talent, Phoenix and parts of Medford. Oregon has borne the brunt of nearly 100 major wildfires raging across the U.S. West Coast this week. Around 3,000 firefighters have been battling nearly three dozen blazes in the state.
