The orange tint in the skies across California was caused by the winds which are carrying the wildfire smoke from afar. The Northern California is witnessing wildfire burning from more than three weeks now. It is being aided by the high wind. The wildfires have consequently spread at an aggressive rate across the mountainous terrain and parched foothills and have destroyed an untold number of homes over its way.
