Yeah, it looks bad. Starting at about 2PM, it became sufficiently
dark in Santa Cruz for inside lighting to be required. The sky was
dark red/orange. It felt much like a few minutes before sundown or
prior to a solar eclipse.

Despite the dark sky, the air is safe to breathe:

This works best during daylight hours. It shows an animated
satellite photo of the smoke moving over California from NW to SE.

The white stuff are mostly clouds and fog. The pink or beige stuff
is smoke from numerous fires. A larger view:

Notice that California is getting considerable second hand smoke from
the fires in Oregon.
