Fire in Texas Panhandle

With convection weakening and no more warnings expected across IND's area, we opted to take a look at a fire that developed in the Texas panhandle.  The smoke plume shows up nicely on the 1 minute mesoscale visible channel.

Fire duration was short as it appeared and disappeared within a 30 minute window, but we were able to capture the fine details within that period, where 2 15 minute with the legacy satellite, this feature could be missed.
