Chris, I've seen these somewhere before. Can anyone provide a guess as to what all those small white figures are in the after photo?

If this was southern California, I'd guess swimming pools. Are they bomb shelters?

No, I don't know what those white squares are--this is the recent North Korea train explosion.

I see.

They don't have swimming pools anywhere but in California...?

Relax, Goody. This is not an indictment of California, I assure you.

Right.

Just like Dr. Dave's move to NC and the subsequent commentary wasn't an indictment of Southerners.

Please.

I'd guess that they're CONEX boxes.

Could be ash on the buildings not burnt to the ground.

Very sad for those poor people.

I believe they are your run-of-the-mill daily satellite photos--available commercially.
