At the Oregon-California state line, an immense wildfire that resulted from the combination of two separate blazes, has now burned over 375,000 acres and is still growing. The Biscuit Fire, formerly the Florence Fire and the Sour Biscuit Fire, was sparked by lightning in the Klamath Mountains in Oregon and has burned over the state line into California. The columns of smoke billowing from the fire reach far south down the Pacific Coast. Note: Zoom in to fires along Oregon - California border....

Aqua's rapid fire gallery features today's image of the fires in Southeast Australia. A state of emergency is still in effect in Canberra, Australia with very hot, dry and windy conditions predicted over the next couple of days. A fire continues to burn in the McIntyre Hut area north-west of Canberra. Another fire, the Gudgenby fire, continues to burn to Canberra's south. There is a total fire ban in force in the region for the next six days. Note: This annimation is a quick zoom down to the...

Captured by Aqua's MODIS instrument on September 10, 2003, the (category 4) hurricane heads west towards the U.S. Isabel's maximum wind cuts are at least 135 mph. The thin cirrus clouds indicate that outflow is on the western side and expanding to the West. Note: This visualization shows the position of a category 4 hurricane. Initially, you see the United States and the Atlantic Ocean. You then zoom down to Isabels position hundreds of miles east of Cuba. Animator: Stuart A. Snodgrass (GST)....
