California wildfires flip skies orange
There have been reports of over 28 major fires across California that experienced a historic heat wave with 14,000 firefighters fighting the fires.
On Wednesday, high winds blew smoke and ash from northern parts of the state, causing residents of the San Francisco area to wake up to dark skies, some thinking it was still night.
In California, wildfires burned more than 2.5 million acres this year. As the fires continue to burn, forecasters expect similar conditions in the coming days.
