Take action now to prepare your home and loved ones for another round of EXTREME WIND and FIRE WEATHER, staring tomorrow afternoon! Worst winds Mon afternoon - Tue morning. #CAwx #SantaAnaWinds

Total devastation in parts of Altadena from the #EatonFire. Imagery captured yesterday evening as part of the @nearmap ImpactResponse program. #CaliforniaWildfires

Some close-ups of the #MountainFire damage

[Nearmap @nearmap]

We’re capturing high-resolution imagery of the Mountain Fire burning in Camarillo, CA, to provide a clear view of the event. Our team will continue to monitor and update imagery as conditions evolve: https://t.co/dZfs1hv1NI #Wildfire #DisasterImagery #ImpactResponse

Doing a rough count of structures lost in the Camarillo Heights area from the #MountainFire using @nearmap ImpactResponse imagery and the number appears to be at least 125. #CAwx

[Andy Moffitt @weatherprophet]

Absolutely devastating damage in parts of North Carolina (and elsewhere) from #HurricaneHelene. Honored to be a part of the team working around the clock to bring imagery like this to federal, state, and local agencies. #NCwx

[Nearmap @nearmap]

The devastation caused by #HurricaneHelene in North Carolina is heartbreaking. In this video, you’ll see the hard-hit areas of Bat Cave, Chimney Rock, and Lake Lure, showing the full impact on homes and landscapes.
