Would you help me with the meaning of this sentence?

Hi everyone,

I read the following sentence in a novel about the world war, and I can't get the meaning:

"Makeshift chimneys rose from the rubble like waving arms."

What are rubble like waving arms?

  

Top answer

Rubble is what's left of buildings after being bombed. Debris. Wreckage.
