Re: Riverside Fire BAER map
Today they posted Holiday Farm. They're making us wait on the ones we really want to see: Beachie Creek and Lionshead.

They've posted Beachie Creek and Lionshead. I turned them into Google Earth image overlays (attached).

Re: Riverside Fire BAER map
I grabbed a satellite photo and tweaked it a little to get a sense of what the BAER maps might represent. I gotta say, I'm a little confused and disheartened, because from satellite, it sure looks bad:

Yikes, you're right, that doesn't look good. Where'd you find the current satellite imagery?

Never mind, I found it, or something like it. They have a "roll-over" comparison of July 19 with September 27 here: https://go.nasa.gov/30dWFmZ
Here's a brightened GIF of the two views:

Re: Riverside Fire BAER map
Is it possible to do the same for the Riverside fire? The images they have given are hard to determine exactly how some trails got impacted. I'm not good enough with GIS to manage it.adamschneider wrote: ↑October 10th, 2020, 10:15 amThey've posted Beachie Creek and Lionshead. I turned them into Google Earth image overlays (attached).

If you can, I would very much appreciate it.

Re: Riverside Fire BAER map
Thank you so much! Not to hijack the thread, but I'd love to know how you did this. As I said, I'm not very good with GIS - I hack and muddle my way through, but I keep learning about it.adamschneider wrote: ↑October 10th, 2020, 6:02 pmHere's Riverside.RobFromRedland wrote: ↑October 10th, 2020, 5:44 pmIs it possible to do the same for the Riverside fire?
