'Hellifornia' wildfire

Thee devastating California forest fire has forced the US Forest Service to close 18 national forests and California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in several counties.

While anxiety and fear continue to be the prevailing state of mind, netizens have found some humour in the name. On Twitter, the ‘Firenado’ clip has already received over 4,000 views with dozens of netizens comments flooding the post. While many took a dig at the year 2020 for 'being special' and many others sent their thoughts and prayers to California residents.

In a similar incident, another California wildfire tweet had gone viral. This particular tweet showed San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics playing baseball in their respective home stadiums but with the sky having a weird orange glow to it. The peculiar colour was due to the thick smoke from the wildfire, and the colour orange appeared due to the sun glowing in the backdrop.
