Alright, we're heading into the evening. Been away from twitter doing the thing that pays the bills for a bit. about to take a look at recent fire info.

TLDR: everything is still burning... Several new fires from last night and this morning. A lot of heat in central Idaho & surrounding area right now.

I'm anxiously awaiting fresh satellite data for the moose fire. Until then, I don't have anything of substance to add. Salmon is smoked in, can't see a damn thing.

There is also a community call in half an hour; gonna try to make that -- interested to hear an update on strategy.

Sorry, gotta go back to my default map view of MODIS/VIIRS data here for a second and zoom in on E OR, Central ID, and W Montana (center on the Frank Church Wilderness.

Seriously... The longer you stare at this, the more fires there are. Every dot is a fire detection.

I'll throw those fire detections on a blank background. get the idea now? Yeah...

This is *just* today.

"resources are stretched thin"

(VIIRS data is pretty solid, but a few of these single dots won't be fires. detecting fire from space isn't perfect)
