San Diego pink skies appeared same time last year on Dec. 7

It really was pink in San Diego for a while Tuesday morning due to the incoming rain blocking out most of the colors around sunrise, except for pink!

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. — It was scenery out of this world, Mars to be more specific. 

Tuesday around 6:30 a.m., the sky over San Diego turned pink and it caught a lot of San Diegan's attention.
