Description
This image of the fires (locations marked in red) burning in Southern California was captured at 240 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on October 23, 2007. Strong Santa Ana winds were pushing smoke westward over the Pacific. Fires are strung along the mountains from locations near Santa Clarita to Tijuana. According to news reports from the morning of October 24, nearly a million people had evacuated their homes as fires spread from the mountains and hills toward cities and towns near the coast. This image was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite.
