Perfect example of an otherwise excellent story (terrible infrastructure!) on a false climate change hook (the California fires are not a result of global warming)https://twitter.com/SteveVockrodt/status/1189367322370293761 …
No, even with wet vegetation the winds would have dried it to kindling, both in previous wind events and in this one. See https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2019/10/extreme-winds-in-california-and-soon-in.html … (Mass is an expert on Diabo winds).

This is really normal California ecology at work, though people badly want to hang it on a climate peg. Summers are hot and dry, and the wind events happen. If you want a global warming tie-in, wait until November when we can blame delayed autumn rains!

That may be what Cliff Mass thinks, but you can easily find many climate scientists and meteorologists who think hot and dry conditions in general and climate change in particular are important factors.
