Just heard Sophie on the Bbeb news saying that some houses in the wildfires in California have been "razed to the ground." Grr.


"Razed to the ground"? What's the problem there?
Several online dictionaries, while defining it as "destroy totally" go on to use examples which include "razed to the ground".
