NASA released a pretty impressive satellite picture of the fires in SoCal. These shots were taken yesterday. The winds (Santa Ana winds) are blowing from the deserts. When that happens, and it is usually the case from September to February, everybody is downwind so everything from Santa Barbara to Mexico is in the smoke right now, including me (I live at the black x on the small shot).


The whole high-quality picture (3400x4400, 2.3Mbytes) is available from NASA website or by clicking directly here.
