An article said there was 4 miles visibility in Orange county where they took off from. They flew into the fog and then the pilot circled for 10 minutes while talking to ATC before proceeding at high risk, without requesting FAA approval for IFR clearance.

I’m not a pilot so I hope I got that right.
