#2My first thought upon awakening at 7:30 am was “Has the Sun turned off?”.
Three hours later it’s even darker.

#3Strong blade runner vibes going on today. It's so odd to see people going about their day as if normal when there is nothing normal about today. Was outside near Lake Merritt and there are people jogging and having coffee. Pure dystopia.

#4The photos in the article are not enhanced for dramatic effect. This is really how it looks like in person.
Hopefully this will finally hit some people hard and we'll reverse the decades of urban sprawl and environmental mismanagement. In all likelihood, it will be forgotten as soon as the blue sky returns.

My phone camera can't really even capture the effect. The color correction algorithm doesn't think the sky can be this color.

It's actually worse than the sky in Blade Runner

Redmond, WA didn't have orange skies (hazy and smokey, but not orange), but with air quality in the "unhealthy whether you're 'sensitive' or not" range and a thin layer of ash on the car, I decided to skip the morning run yesterday. According to TFA, it didn't smell smokey in SF, so perhaps that's why folks were out?

As I understand it, half of California is federal land, so it will take two to tango.

#10Now at 11am in downtown SF it is much darker than it was early this morning when these pictures were taken. It's disturbing, to say the least.
