Fire Devastation in the Western U.S. Seen From Space
Here’s the Fort Collins area before the fire (left) and after 60,000 acres had burned (right, fire scar in red) as seen through the Landsat satellites. This has been an unbelievably active week for wildfires in the U.S., with high winds, dry conditions, and a possible look at what long-term climate change could mean for our forests and homes.
Many more pictures at the link. Our thoughts are with all of them.
