While San Diegans were hunkering down the night before Tropical Storm Hilary pummeled San Diego County with fierce winds and all-day rain, something amazing was happening in the sky. For most of the day Saturday, grey overcast domed our sky, but out at the coast as the sun was leaning down for its goodnight kiss with the horizon, we were greeted with an amazing palette of red, orange and yellow. Usually, a sunset with this much radiance makes its way onto everyone's Instagram feeds. But with a Tropical Storm barreling down on us, we don't blame you if you were a little preoccupied (the folks at the beach who found themselves in these photos obviously weren't).
