There was a wind from behind, and the rear bumper looked untouched, but it also likely fed the fire that engulfed the rest.

Which is why I discounted the images of half burned cars. What remains suspicious are homes reduced to ash while the trees surrounding them retained their needles and small branches. Or the blue umbrellas fully intact next to the charred remains of the building. Or the intact and unmarked wood landing adjacent to the burned shell of the mobile home.

Do you think that a gale force wind would have made it much worse?

It should have helped the fire spread to the Banyan tree.

The way I've heard this, the winds were not all going the same direction all the time.
Eddies could have happened. Eddies of fire, and eddies of not-fire.

Maybe a wind eddy surrounded the Banyan tree, but it still seems odd that none of its small branches or leaves, or the ground detritus, ever caught fire.
