It’s terrifying yet oddly beautiful

@ot7stan207 Год назад

it was not beautiful. it was the worst of the pandemic, as if what ELSE could go wrong.

@chelseysunshine 3 года назад

yeah, i remember waking up and seeing that deep orange sky. never have i ever seen anything like it…i was in south san francisco and i just couldn’t believe what i was seeing. there was a fire right behind our house on a large hill. for a southern girl who’s dealt with hurricanes, tornados, and now earthquakes…this was the scariest of them all.

@rickeymoose 3 года назад

That was such a surreal experience. That's something you only see in movies. But, it was real.

Long Beach, CA (500 miles south) turned orange too. Ashes were EVERYWHERE and the air quality was terrible for days following.

@californiamade5608 3 года назад

That’s crazy but the air quality this day in San Francisco wasn’t terrible it was actually good according to the air quality index. And a natural San Francisco phenomenon (fog)

@Pentagram619 Год назад

Second time I've ever seen this. First time was Cedar fires back in the day, when San Diego's skies were blood red. Waking up to this brought me back to being a little kid.

@kmcq692 Год назад

Most color photos were taken digitally and were color corrected by the phone camera. It really was RED. Terrifying. My cat walked outside, had a look, turned around and ran back inside.

@tastyneck 3 года назад

It was so dark I literally thought I slept through the whole day and woke up at night. I remember the time on the DVR said like 10 or 11 and I totally panicked thinking I slept all day until 10 or 11PM. The sunlight usually starts to get me up in the morning and obviously that didnt happen that day. Frankly, I was a little bit panicked and disoriented

@awesomeaustenkitty 2 года назад

Live in Oregon, and wow was this the most terrifying experience in my life, thank god our house didn’t burn down… (we’re in a new house now but yeah, was a very dark time with although a pretty looking sky, a terrifying story behind its colors…)

I remember that, I live in Richmond and it was like almost darkness all day it reminded me of a movie called night of the comet that if I recall had this tent of orange to it 740 till the end of the movie it was a weird day and the conditions were just right for an event of that nature and unfortunately it is quite possible that it will happen again

@angelamontgomery9007 Год назад

@SilverSpade_ 2 года назад

I remember waking up in Santa Rosa that morning, and the sky really was very dark. That was the craziest thing for me. It was barely more light out then than during the night. The red glow scared me out of my mind (maybe I've watched a bit too much science fiction). I now call that day "Mars Day" for the color of the sky and the heavily reduced level of sunlight.

@suzanneperry5989 3 года назад

I wonder if tree planting has increased in California since that strange event. Is the population of the state working to replace all the trees that burn each year? Did the scare of Orange Day prompt new initiatives to get more trees in the ground?

@californiamade5608 3 года назад

Trees grow themselves. It’s a natural occurrence.

@OsirisIxchel 2 года назад

The trees are burning faster than we can replace and grow them. Trees are burning all over the world... a whole island off the coast of Greece burned and in Athens it even got near the Parthenon. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F4PcJKPECxk.html and omg.. Siberia.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pYe6QIBdTKs.html There are many others... and where there's not fires, it's unprecedented flooding. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N7DNTzp1fJk.html
