"Apocalyptic scenes in every direction": Wildfire destroys much of historic California town of Greenville
A wildfire tore through a historic mountain town in Northern California, leaving much of the downtown in ashes as crews braced for another explosive run of flames amid dangerous weather.
The Dixie Fire, swollen by bone-dry vegetation and 40-mph gusts, raged through the northern Sierra Nevada town of Greenville Wednesday evening. A gas station, hotel and bar were among the many structures gutted in the town, which dates to California's Gold Rush era and has some buildings more than a century old.
It left "apocalyptic scenes in every direction," said CBS News' Bradley Blackburn.
