The worsening area is exactly where the winds were. Wind can be very drying.
This is being very hard on all those that lost everything, but, when there are dangerous conditions there cannot be ANY behaviors that can result in even the most remote possibility of a spark. Drinking, smoking, or taking of substances that alter awareness is as much a catalyst to disaster as the wind that caused the drying.
After stating that, this probably wasn’t preventable. People are allowed to be people and there is no reason for self-blaming. These are extreme conditions that were a perfect storm. Going forward, any and all precautions of any kind, including behavioral self awareness has to be practiced and not just discussed. The climate is unforgiving. I said this before, California did not deserve this.
