WTF is up with the night sky at 9:00 am? Santa Rosa

seriously.

apocalyptic sky.

 

I'm not in Cali, but my guess would be fires.

 

I normally wake up at 7, today really threw me off

 

This is from my front room in Concord at 9 AM, pic doesn't do justice to how dark it really is, eerie as hell...

 

No kidding

This was yesterday at about 11am or so

 

Pretty bad down in Socal right now too, although you guys up north are definitely getting the worst of it this year. Between gender reveal parties in dry brush and unusual dry lightning strikes all over the place, CA is getting reamed.

This was Sunday AM down here, can normally see the mountain range looking this direction.

 

(When you finally use white balance correctly)

 

Meanwhile, Colorado's wildfires are getting snowed on right now lol. Some crazy shit happening this year I tell you.

 

Why? Because the inversion is blocking the smoke from coming down to ground levels. It's being suspended above the inversion layer, which is why you don't smell (much) smoke, but it looks apocalyptic.

Yes, meanwhile in Colorado, we've got wet snow that is snapping trees and causing power outages and hopefully reducing and putting out the wildfires here.

 

This was Saturday afternoon up here in the High Desert of Socal . The smoke is from the Eldorado fire

 

This was Sunday at 1900hrs and the setting Sun was bright red

 

It's just 2020, doing 2020 things

 

Why doesn't anyone park in their garages?

 

At my daughter’s house in San Fran today

 

It's Cali and we don't have a basement to store all our Taco gear. So it goes in the garage and the car goes outside.

But I do have one car in the two car garage. That and a workbench is all you can fit.

 

I'd pretend to understand but those newer homes.... I put in a few years in a 1926 home in Oakland and my 1st gen barely fit in the garage with the doors closed. I used to crawl out the back window when I parked it in there and replaced my suspension with about 1' of space on each side of the truck. What's a workbench?!?

 

Maybe 2 hrs ago in Covina, CA. Been raining ash all morning.

 

Not all of us live in Oakland, so we don't feel the need to hide everything at night.

 

It's a townhouse, garages are small

Same here , used as storage

 

Nothing like a good rhetorical question to get everyone fired up! Lol
