The new Goes-16 satellite that is still not fully operational captured stunning imagery of the smoke plume from the West Mims Fire blowing over Florida and the Atlantic Ocean.

Praying for rain to help with this massive fire. Praying especially for all the firefighters and the families that are in the mist of it all. Lord we ask that you take the reigns and let the heavens open and swollen this massive blaze. Watch over all the firefighters and their families as well as all the residents and towns that are in the mist of this monster.
