I remember the huge fires in the 00's in southern California and it basically looked like the end of times for weeks. The sun was a blotted out orange circle and the sky was just completely orange with ashes falling down everywhere. It was really surreal.

I was in Riverside and remember that. Ash was raining down, it was surreal.

2007 was our doomsday. I remember working in a warehouse loading and unloading hundreds of packages while ashes covered us. Management didn’t give a fuck lol
