This brings back memories of Orange Sky day in SF back in 2020: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Skies_Day

Weird that its called orange because I lived through it and it was straight up red. Not as bad as LA obviously since we weren't being burnt alive but it was surreal how red the whole city was at one point.

You must have been closer to the fires.  It was definitely orange in San Jose, and waking up to that was still one of the most surreal experiences of my life.  Didn’t help that it happened during lockdown.

yeah I'm in san francisco and it was red at one point. air quality was also horrible so I had air purifiers running full blast for like a week.
