Santa Rosa was a lovely old town, but it was taken over by lefty enviro-nazis who had as much of its local indigenous flora removed, including old eucalyptus trees that were used as agricultural wind breaks.
This was a California Fire Storm, like the earthquakes. that have always been part of the natural weather and geological situation that is the flip side of the normally dry, temperate wine county with its lovely vistas.
Part of the landscape that was formerly just agricultural became subdivided in the last decades, but the wildfires decided to take some of it back with a fury. m/r
Death toll rises to 40 as firefighters continue to battle massive California wildfires

As the death toll rose to 40, firefighters struggled to get
the upper hand against several massive wildfires that have ravaged
Northern California for almost a week.
The winds that bedeviled firefighters Saturday are expected to die down Sunday, allowing firefighters to go back on the offense after a day of new evacuations. Cooler temperatures are also forecast.
Officials said Sunday they are making good progress on the Tubbs and Atlas fires. which are both more than 50% contained. Firefighters will concentrate their forces on the Nuns fire, which is 30% contained. There was some concern the Tubbs and Nuns fires could merge.
It was a different story Saturday, when strong winds kicked up overnight in the central Napa Valley region, causing some fires to spread and triggering evacuations in Sonoma and elsewhere, officials said.
Fire officials feared that winds forecast for Saturday would be similar to those that stoked the first flames on Oct. 8 and that have since exploded to more than 15 fires that have scorched 220,000 acres, destroyed an estimated 5,700 structures and caused at least 40 deaths.
