That means two thirds of the air quality is poor quality, especially if you live in the east bay or north bay. This bears repeating. What a difference a day looks. Heres a look at oakland, wednesday draped in that bright orange hue and then back to the well take it. This is looking down on highway 24, foggy and gray there and as we go into the Rockbridge Area much of the same area.
