Ahh our lovely California crisis cycle:

Drought dries out the forest
Fires burn the dry forest
El Ni=F1o causes too much rain and no grass on the hills from fires and
we have mud slides
Also grows lots of new grass
Drought dries the grass...
Rinse and repeat and shake with a quake every third cycle to help keep
things interesting

It is a bit chilly, I'm just glad my furnace is working properly again,
it only took four trips from their tech, last one with an inspector.

It apparently was installed wrong over 10 years ago when I had it put
it, took that long for a redundant relay to fail, thank Bob for the
service contract.
