Bay Area Smoke and Red Skies
Northern California residents experienced pitch-black conditions and deep orange skies as wildfire smoke blocked the sun until midday on September 9, 2020. John C. Dvorak reports that the darkness in the Bay Area was so severe that streetlights remained on until 1:00 PM. The phenomenon was caused by a combination of a dense marine layer and high-altitude ash from regional fires.

So I go outside and outside if you go outside there's actually there was just barely enough light that you could see kind of a an orange glow but it was dark and all the lights were on at the horse track and the freeway everything was lit up and it stayed that way till about 1 And it got a little brighter around one where you could actually see, where you didn't think you were in the dark. But the rest of the day it was dark and it was still orangey, it was very orange. It was strange. Today it was just orange but it wasn't dark. The dark part really freaked everybody out. Wow. It was dark, it was just like midnight.
