I posted a MODIS/Google Map pic over on the QA thread.
at 1100 Air Attack 17 overhead ordering up 4 LAT, 4 T1 Copter, Lead plane, “ASAP”
1400: They’ve been getting consistent LATs and a couple agency medium rotors so far since original request. Haven’t seen much change in MODIS/VIIRS hits. Visible satellite shows no obvious smoke in a static image, but move it in a 30min loop and you can see a tiny bit, relative to the complex or other major fires. Never have seen it pop up on IR yet today.
