‘Apocalypse on their mind’: Bay Area transfixed by foreboding, orange, smoke-choked skies

The sun, which is usually reliable, slept in on Wednesday.

That’s the way it seemed throughout the Bay Area as the smoke from countless wildfires mixed with clouds and fog to tint the sky, and just about everything else, a dark burnt orange. Some folks said it felt like living on the next planet over, the red one.

Others said it was like a solar eclipse, but longer, or the apocalypse, but less biblical. Some called the darkness a metaphor for life in the days of global warming, of the pandemic, of social unrest, of endless electioneering.

Strange and foreboding it was. And how long it would last was, like the sky, unclear. For the first time ever, tomorrow’s sunrise no longer seemed a sure thing.

The images I’ve seen are simultaneously stunning and very scary.

Feel terrible for those who have been forced to evacuate.

What makes it more futuristic is that he's on an electric motorcycle.

You might need the same equipment as Cartman if actually planning on entering San Fransisco now.

Am an asshole for thinking it looks beautiful?

Nah, it is beautiful.

Am an asshole for thinking it looks beautiful?

Nah it's kinda like the idea of a pandemic being exciting in the beginning. You know until you start experiencing the effects on society.

Ah shit, Here we go again.
