What a deceptive photo! That’s no ordinary smoggy day. Look at the date in the caption. It’s September 9 — the very height of the wildfires, when the sky turned dark orange, ash fell from the skies, and noon was no brighter than dusk! You might as well illustrate a story about a normal rainstorm with a stock photo of Hurricane Katrina.

I wish the Bay Area air Quality Would do a better job of enforcing spare the air days - we have wood fires and leafblowers always going all day on spare the air days - nobody enforces the ban

^Concurring as there should also be a 'Spare the Hot Air Day'.
So much for 'chestnuts roasting on an open fire'.
