WTF pictures

This natural phenomenon isn't your typical daytime rainbow - it's a moonbow, created when moonlight refracts through water droplets at Yosemite Falls' base. While the long exposure photo captures stunning colors, to the naked eye it appears as a subtle, ghostly arch in shades of gray since our vision can't detect the faint spectrum of colors in such low light.

Just the messenger maybe, but you'd be a better messenger if you did a little fact checking first.
See, the problem with "citizen journalism" is any idiot with a camera and internet connection is free to spout absolute horseshit. And that's what this is... horseshit. Or... fake news if you prefer.

Google is your friend....

OREGON– Fires in Southern California are ravaging communities, requiring the help from outside agencies, but misinformation has led many astray with what’s really happening.

One of the main rumors to come out regarding this aid is that firefighters being sent from Oregon to aid in fighting the fires are being stopped, forced to pass smog and emissions tests and firefighters are being delayed or even turned away from providing support to those fighting the fires on the frontlines.

The Oregon State Fire Marshal and CalFire confirm that this rumor is false.



What is true is that 370 Oregon firefighters with OSFM have been sent to aid in fighting the Southern California wildfires.

More from the real news linked above....

"Keller said the rumors have pulled away resources from those who are assisting the firefighters on the ground.

Saying that the calls and questions that are being answered are taking time away from supporting the operations of the firefighters.

Media literacy is key, Keller said. Making sure to look more into information you’re hearing, going to the source and double checking the sources before believing anything you hear."

This is an Arizona report....

Did you watch the video? She stated it was "fire equipment from Oregon and Washington."
Fair enough though.... Give us some corroborating links to actual news verifying they're being turned back from Arizona...
 
Ahhh... moonlight long exposure.
Before I read the text I thought it was heavily PS'd.
My first thought also. along with a near impossible refraction angle for a rainbow from sunlight.

From an ex LA/SOCAL fire person from another site. So maybe fabricated or exagerated...
