Satellite Image of Recent Southern California Wildfires

I received this photo taken by the NASA Terra satellite on August 30, 2009.  Here you can see all of Southern California and get a pretty good idea of just how much was on fire at the time.  If you look to the South East - you'll see a small lake that is pretty much surrounded by burnt area - well, that fire, known as the 2400 acre COTTONWOOD FIRE came within a mile of my home in Hemet,  Fortunately the winds were blowing the other way and there were no evacuations or injuries/casualties.

Follow this link if you want to see a series of 41 photos - mostly taken from the deadly STATION FIRE.

Hi John,  I saw some photos like this and they are amazing.  Do you think they will catch the person who started them ?

Bill - I'm not sure of the actual statistics, but I don't think they catch half of the fire starters.  The one near me - the Cottonwood fire had something to do with power lines - so the only ones to blame there are those responsible for our aging infrastructure.
