Members of the Warriors react to smoke-filled orange sky in the Bay Area

Eric Paschall and Damion Lee chimed in on Twitter after the Bay Area’s sky was transformed from blue to orange.

Sunny blue skies were not in the Bay Area’s weather forecast on Wednesday. Instead, residents across Northern California woke up to dark orange hazy skies. With wildfires burning throughout the West Coast, the wind brought a new layer of smoke into the Bay Area.

As the sky looked apocalyptic, many across the Bay Area took to social media to share pictures of what it looked like outside. Two members of the Golden State Warriors chimed in on Twitter with reactions to the eerie-looking setting.

Although it was morning, the dark shadow of smoke in the air had many thinking it was still nighttime. Warriors rookie Eric Paschall thought he was “tripping” when he woke up.

Despite the orange sky, both the San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics hosted baseball games in their Bay Area stadiums on Wednesday. Over the weekend, the San Francisco 49ers will open up their 2020 season in Santa Clara against the Arizona Cardinals.
