Satellite Images of California Firestorm 2008

The animated satellite view of the entire state shows the magnitude of this fire event.
Note the Clover Fire in the bottom right and the Gallery Fire below Monterey Bay. The Lime Complex in Trinity County upper right and the numerous fires burning in Lassen, Butte, Amador and neighboring counties. In the center of the image is the Mariposa Complex. Barely visible is the remnant of the Wild Fire in Napa County. More than 700 fires are burning in north and central California. Many fires are unmanned, many manned fires are woefully understaffed presenting a danger to firefighters and surrounding communities.
