Nasa Satellite Images of Southern California Fires

Powerful Santa Ana winds have fueled more than 12 large wildfires throughout Southern California, stretching from Santa Barbara to San Diego. These images shows just how quickly the fires grew.

Captured by NASA’s Aqua satellite passed overhead, large amounts of smoke were pouring from blazes northwest of Los Angeles. Actively burning fires are outlined in red. Plumes of smoke can be seen blowing off the coast, indicating the intensity of the winds and the presence of additional fires farther south.

This image of the fires in California was captured at 1:55 p.m. U.S. Pacific Daylight Time on October 22, 2007.
