#redflagwarning

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Two large fires in NE #Minnesota. The one to the SE is the #CamphouseFire. The other one is the #TownLineFire.

--- Edit: There is now a third fire SW of the 2 larger fires ---

#RedFlagWarning until 9pm tonight.

Never ignore an order to evacuate. The fire officials have information that you do not.

Dark symbols are MODIS and VIIRS satellite *heat* detections. This data is not real time and locations are only approximate. Sometimes this data is ‘false positive’. You can learn more about MODIS/VIIRS data by opening the map and clicking “Map tips” in the upper left corner.

Various wildfires are burning in Texas and Oklahoma.
This area has both a #RedFlagWarning and #HighWindWarning.
Blowing dust is also an issue.
I-40 is reported to be closed east of Amarillo due to #Wildfire and accidents.

Dark symbols on the map are satellite heat detections within the prior 6 hours. This data is not real time and locations are only approximate. Typically there are 8 satellite passes per 24 hours. I think the next update will be this evening.

Some newer fires, like the one along I-40 in the Texas panhandle, have not yet been detected by the satellites.
