About 5 miles north of my city there has been a wildfire that has been burning for about 2 days. Yesterday we got a very odd haze that covered the entire city, similar to our normal fog, but more sut-like.

Anyway, most of that has apparently settled into the atmosphere, and today is even stranger. The sky has layer upon layer of overcast *evidently, unnatural overcast/white smoke from the fire* and the sun is still shining as if there were no clouds in the sky. Odd thing is, its shining through the smoke as if it were a filter. The sun is a powerfully dullish orange, almost like a thin liquid shine of blood, and its very very very peculiar.

Anyone in the San Francisco bay area experiencing the same effect?

Not in the Bay Area, but I woke up today in Roseville to what you just described. It looked surreal and like I was in some weird movie effect or something! Earlier I had heard there were smoke alerts for the Napa Valley, but I didn't realize it also affected San Francisco. Of course, Roseville is only two hours from S.F. and an hour and a half from Napa, so we're all in the same area, basically. I couldn't get over the orange effect. ☝
