Pretty impressive smoke trails on satellite right now from the fires near Chadron NE.

If you loop satellite showing extreme nw NE you can see what is surely a pyrocumulus above that fire. Pretty damn cool.

Quite impressive. Both of those fires appear literally out of control. This mornings report shows two complexes one at 30k acres and another at 20k. Both barely had any containment. I cut out everything lower than 52.5C on 3.9u and the extreme NW NE fire STILL showed up.
