Someone call the Justice League, either the multiverse is in Crisis or it's fucking Darkseid. Again.
The DeYoung Observation Tower is closed
:(
Was gonna get some shots in.
The air quality all across Cali is bad. I live in the valley and while it doesn't look like this, the AQI was a solid 498 just a few hours ago...
It's weird, because the filter doesn't necessarily make the air 'worse'. I'm in like the 70s right now, but I still don't trust staying outside :/
Not as high up but feel free to come to our rooftop... thats the USF hill and normally you see the transamerican and BoA building to the left of it.
edit: This is with extended night exposure on galaxy s20. Ocean direction is even darker
Double edit: this was taken at 10:45 AM with extra exposure. Seeing it yourself is ominous as hell.

Yeah it still looks like dusk here in Concord. It feel soooo weird outside. I was expecting to be choking on smoke but its pretty clear right now.
How in the fuck is this real, especially those blood red Oregon pictures?
You should avoid breathing it in. Stay inside, wear a mask outside and if you have access to an air purifier/filter at home, use it.
Yeah I work in Oakland and got here and was like oh it doesn't smell like it looks at all. I live about 30 min east of Oakland, looked like that everywhere.
Not sure. However when I got to my car this morning there was a layer of dust/ash on top of my car.
Wildfire Smoke|Wildfires
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides information on how to stay safe and healthy before, during, and after a wildfire including avoiding health impacts from wildfire smoke and cleaning up safely.

Smoke inhalation occurs when you breathe in harmful smoke particles and gases. Inhaling harmful smoke can inflame your lungs and airway, causing them to swell and block oxygen. This can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome and respiratory failure.
Hey guys...can we forget about Global Warming yet? That's another librul conspiracy, right?
This is actually one of the reasons why I left Oregon, as much as I loved it there.

Starting to become less orange finally, but the colors been changing throughout the morning.
Started out as an eerie red when I first woke up,

we're already living the effects of global warming. Every summer for the last couple of years was hotter and longer than the last just dreadful.... can vote for the environmentalist parties and it just doesn't fucking do shit :(
I've grown up here and as a kid and teenager I don't remember any fires being as severe as the ones we've seen in the last few years.
You wouldn't be wrong:
and for fun, here's a NYT article from 2018:
Three of California’s Biggest Fires Ever Are Burning Right Now (Published 2018)
The Mendocino Complex Fire has grown to more than 300,000 acres, and firefighters are battling two more massive blazes in other rural parts of the state.

Looking at how these are going, these types of headlines are probably going to be on repeat for the foreseeable future.
It's almost universally terrible. Just today, I've talked to friends in:
-Humboldt
-Sonoma
-SF
-LA
-San Diego
And the air is bad to various degrees, all from different fires/complexes in each location. It's breaking my heart, because this is what Summers will look like for the foreseeable future.
Wow. It's morbid, given the source, but damn it looks beautiful.
Fuck...my heart goes out to the trees and other flora, fauna, inverts, fungi, and people / residences...all caught in the wilfires
Oregon wildfires making it look straight apocalyptic
