As Evacuation Orders Lift, Some Paradise Residents Return Home To Devastation

For Seth Roberts and other residents of Paradise, Calif., Wednesday marked a sad homecoming.

"I'm in my backyard and it's all gone," Roberts told NPR. "My house is gone, my shop's gone, my sheds are gone. ... Nothing left, just a bunch of charred stuff."

Nearly a month after the Camp Fire decimated the Northern across a stretch of the eastern portion of Paradise, allowing people to return and see what is left of their homes and businesses.
