DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 2215Z February 11, 2007
New Jersey: Fires in eastern Camden and southern Burlington counties produced small plumes of light smoke that moved east and nearly reached the coast. South Carolina and Georgia: Narrow plumes of thin smoke were seen with fires in Barnwell and Colleton counties in South Carolina and Oglethorpe, Bryan and Dodge counties in Georgia. The smoke was all drifting to the north and the plumes were mainly less than 25 km long. Florida: Numerous fires were detected in northern Florida, including the panhandle, however extensive cloudiness hindered smoke detection. The smoke observed earlier from a fire along the Santa Rosa/Okaloosa border was masked by clouds late in the afternoon and evening. Mississippi and Alabama: Several fires in southern Mississippi and Alabama were producing moderate to dense smoke that was mainly drifting to the north. The largest fire with the broadest and most dense smoke was along the Forrest/Stone county border in Mississippi. This smoke had drifted 100 km into northwest Wayne county by sunset. Additional smoke was seen from fires in northern and northwest Mobile county Alabama and in Greene county Mississippi. A fire along the Benton/Tippah county border in northern Mississippi had a thin to moderate smoke plume that drifted north, reaching northeast Hardeman county Tennessee. Ruminski
