Not saying shit's not fucked up over there right now, but is this an artist rendering? Its got what looks like artist initials at the top and I can't find this image anywhere else.
It
almostdefinitely is. This happened with the last big Australian fires too. Here's a an actual satellite photo of the Australian fires with overlaid red dots from NASA data for comparison.Note the complete lack of smoke or cloud obscuring anything in the OP image.
Edited to add: NASA photo + overlaid data from Sicily's 2017 fires. Fewer fires, visible wind smoke trails.
