Summary
[edit]DescriptionTwo Hurricanes and the Smoke of California Wildfires by GOES West.jpg |
English: On August 25, 2020, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) West captured this dynamic GeoColor image of North America, where wildfires ravaged the drought-plagued West and Southwest United States. The resulting hazy gray shroud of smoke spread over much of the country. Over the Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Laura can be seen heading toward Louisiana and eastern Texas while the remnants of Hurricane Marco swirl over the Southeast. In the image, smoke can be seen filling California’s Central Valley. From mid- to late August 2020, throughout this state alone, more than 650 wildfires, many sparked by lightning, burned more than 1.25 million acres (~5,058 km2)—an area larger than the state of Rhode Island. Seven people died as a result of these fires, and more than 1,400 buildings were destroyed. |
