Saw this just now and it is very applicable to this weeks events.

In addition, I know how much we like to quote Watch The Water, but this could be relevant as we would have watched the water in CA being released from the reservoirs.

These people make me want to pull my hair out when they say high temperatures are making wildfires. Like grass spontaneously combusts at 105°. No, aging electrical lines can start fires. Throwing cigarettes out the car window can start a fire. More usually, intentionally throwing a match in dry grass will. But high temps do not start fires. Idiots!
Almost all the fires here are caused by humans. Car fires, auto accidents, construction site mishaps, careless campfires and people throwing lit cigarettes out their windows probably account for 5-10% of the wildfires. The rest are arson and they don't catch many of them.
No, the fires are being driven by the Santa Ana winds which can happen any time of year, but are most prevalent in the fall and winter usually from October to February. I'm a California native and lived there for 64 years and can attest that this is fire season and it happens every year at this time.
What make this year worse is the fact that there has been no measurable rain in the LA basin since May. Southern California is a desert and it's fairly normal to go six months without rain. We average 14 inches of rain per year in Orange County and most of that arrives between November and March, so this year is drier than normal.
At least they usually light their Forrest fires in the summer when they can blame it on hot and dry weather
Lighting a fire in January is retarded
Makes it obvious

Unless Trump is about to return to office
They're a cornered animal now, so any and all remaining assets will be deployed.
