My sister in law lives in San Francisco and took this on her iPhone about 930 this morning. She lives in Glen Park (west of the Mission District). Truly bizzare

This whole thread..... San Francisco
on a video call right now and one of the presenters is in San Fran, seeing this live outside his window. It is creepy
Ive been evacuated since 8/20 from Big Basin/Boulder Creek,our house was saved although 350 homes burnt ithin a 2mi radius. Cant go home because of all the power poles burnt also. Big Basin was my playground for my trail riding (XR600R and a vintage XL250)the before and after pics are gonna be eerie.Staying in Los Gatos and its just an eerie orange(Clemson orange almost) If id known i was gonna be homeless for 21 days I woulda went to my families home outside Fairhope >oh well ROLL TIDE
Glad to hear your house was saved - that has to be nervewracking.
Well, it could be BakersfieldIt's from The Martian.
I should have blued myself.
Climate change is contributing. But forests have to be effectively managed for humans to live with them.
Obviously we don't need to cut down all the trees, but we do need to clear some of the underbrush and have controlled burns so that every time an idiot uses pyrotechnics at a gender reveal, the state doesn't go up in flames.
If the forest weren't inhabited by us, there would be natural fires that controlled this. Alabama forestry has a good controlled burn program. I have a friend that works over there.
Some species need fire to thrive.
While climate change is a factor, effective forestry practices would also go a long way to alleviating this problem.
To blame it all on climate change is disingenuous, but it is a contributing factor.
These pics are absolutely insane.

thought this captured it all well
These fires were happening before man lived in the west. This is nature at work. It is worse now because of global warming, but the fires are going to happen long after we are gone.
We''re not raking the forests like the Donald wants (not realizing that he can actually order that to be done to almost 60% of the forests in CA)...
