More big fires around the USA this week

Earlier this week on BoingBoing, I posted observations from the Griffith Park Fire, which burned very close to my home.

A number of BoingBoing readers are close to two other even larger blazes that happened this week -- the fires in Georgia and Florida, and another blaze on Catalina island, offshore from LA. Here's an aerial view of the Florida/Georgia fires, seen from space.

As I understand it, that whole, massive series of blazes in the southeast was started by a single lightning strike.

Link to a related post on BoingBoing reader Adam Selvidge's blog -- the images also reveal a big storm making its way toward them.
