About to enter the wildfire smoke cloud. Buckle up tight. Whiteout conditions inside the cloud.

I recently flew from Boise to Los Angeles. We heard about the wildfires and hurricane force Santa Ana winds but the sight of the smoke, fire, and devastation was horrific. We flew parallel to the wildfire cloud before entering it. It was like a black/orange whiteout, we were really bouncing around. When we emerged from the cloud we were over the Pacific Ocean and it looked like an angry hurricane was happening below us. Wow. These IPhone photos don’t do it justice. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this nightmare. I took these photos on 8 January 2025.
