Mount Diablo Fire As Weather Event

Here is yet another amazing and dramatic image shot last night by a professional photographer of the ongoing Morgan Incident raging atop and across Mount Diablo in Contra Costa County.  It is the best image I have seen yet of this fire interacting with the atmosphere and functioning as a weather phenomenon. In particular this image shows the smoke cloud-structure above the main convection column showing some interesting structural details.
