Hurricanes and fires across US revealed in NASA satellite image



Hurricanes and wildfires across the U.S. have been revealed in an image captured by NASA’s Aqua satellite.

The satellite captured the true-color image on Sept. 15, according to the space agency, which noted “the fires in the West, the smoke from those fires drifting over the country, several hurricanes converging from different angles, and Hurricane Sally making landfall.”

Sally sloshed ashore Wednesday morning on the Gulf Coast as a Category 2 hurricane. It has since weakened to a tropical depression but is moving across the South, dumping rain. The hurricane has caused at least two deaths.

Wildfires devastating the western U.S. can also be clearly seen in the satellite image. (Read More)
