I was able to find some footage of Highway 101 on that day using the historic view option on Google Street View. Does anyone know of any other footage captured on Google Maps from that same day?

@docpop I'm not aware of any but I remember when that smoke came down to Monterey and turned day into night, and reduced visibility to about one block.

@docpop You inspired me to look at my journal entry for that day. I remember how red the sky was. And I read how ash had penetrated everywhere, even inside the trailer...

@meganL the weirdest part, at least for me, was how much more breathable the air was on this day, compared to the smoke-filled day. It looked horrific, but it was one of the least smokey days to go out for a walk.

@docpop
Lots of photos but I can't find any videos. Sorry. -

I dug up a few of my photos from September 9, 2020 (aka "the day of red sun" in #SanFrancisco). The first is a photo of Sutro Tower from our block. The other, which is a photo looking out from our apartment, shows the contrast in color.

@docpop we lived in Boulder Creek, where the fires were still burning, and that was the first day they let anyone go back in the evac zone. I checked on our house, then drove back to our temp housing in San Jose. Here’s a video from 3:30 that afternoon, as I left our house.

@docpop No video but here are views from the Embarcadero looking east and North Beach looking west taken at noon. At the time, I sent them to a friend who asked if they were manipulated and I said, “Only if you count setting the WB to daylight…”

@docpop a lot of folks downloaded Halide that day because the standard iPhone camera app couldn’t get the white balance right.
