Why would we want to remember a California storm when Texans lose power? Unless you're living in either one of those areas, why would you give a shit about either?

This is PG&E country in the foothills and mountains. This happens all the time here, because the power lines aren't buried and are old.

I remember reading about how a wildfire started because the big loops of steel holding the lines up were worn completely through, and it was a COMMON problem and they knew about it

I feel like this is targeted at a certain person.

It must be that global warming I keep hearing about.

You'd think Californians would be enjoying the change of pace from their usual cycle of "burn it all to ash, mudslide, mudslide, burn it all to ash, mudslide."
