Friend,

Here's the current satellite image:



Looks to be three distinct fires, one northwest of Gulfport, one just west of Pensacola, and one between Milton and I-10.

East of Pensacola Fire:
News indicates I-10 is shut just after crossing the bay past Pensacola. Navarre seems be getting most of the smoke based on that image. Pensacola's News Journal says all people on Garcon Point south of I-10 are recommended to evacuate and that the fire has spread south of I-10. This fire is 250 acres.

West of Pensacola fire:
This fire, according to Pensacola's ABC station, is at Hurst Hammock Road in Escambia County and covers 100 acres. No evacuations ordered yet.

Northwest of Gulfport fire:
WLOX reports this is a 240 acre fire they have been battling for a few days now. Last night, the first jumped a line firefighters dug. There have been multiple fires in that area, one near Canal Road authorities suspect was arson.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

I drove from Mobile today and that stretch of I-10 had 3 separate fires burning on the south side of the interstate between Pascagoula and the LA state line.

Drove through today. We had to detour through Milton on Hwy 90. Traffic was insane. We finally made it to Destin.

The Chandeleur Islands look rather healthy in that photograph, which is gratifying to see.
