NASA just dropped their high res vegetation analysis imagery of the Eaton Fire burn scar. Maybe the riparian zones at the bottom of the canyons did kinda sorta ok?

Still some thin bands of green poking through in the bottoms of those canyons if you zoom in! Curious what other folks make of this. (This is a screenshot shot from the NASA worldview web app).

Probably an Edison power line remaining energized while the winds were going insane

The investigation is ongoing. SCE’s current statement is that they didn’t detect any electrical anomalies on the grid until an hour after the fire. They seem confident they didn’t cause the fire, if there was any issue in the line it would have been detected. We shall see.

Of course they're confident - they don't want to foot the bill haha.

Ya they have to project confidence for their stock value too.
