Satellite Fire

The red circle is about where I live. We've been lucky, as the smoke is not blowing our way. But the flames are getting closer. Looks like they jumped the major pass and are creeping down to the my valley, San Fernando.

In this satellite image, plumes of smoke caused by wildfires are seen moving off the coast through Southern California on Sunday, Oct. 26, 2003. The fires have grown to more than 208,000 acres, destroying 500 homes in densely populated suburbs and have caused at least 11 deaths. Fires burning are, at left left, Simi Valley and Moorpark; center, the combined Grand Prix and Old Fire, north of San Bernadino and Rancho Cucamonga/Ontario; bottom right, the Scripps Ranch fire in the San Diego area.
