Those people who do not in CA may think the most they have to deal with are earthquakes, the occasional street flooding, and sunburns.
But northern CA (which begins at about Monterrey which is way south of SF) has its own issues. Especially north of SF, as they get much more rain/moisture regularly, so it is a lot greener (looks more like southern OR) up there. After the rains, all that growth dries out and is perfect tinder for fires in autumn (now). See, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/anaheim-hills-fires-in-california-latest-update-2017-10-10/ There are many fires going on right now, which the above item says has over taxed the firefighters. It is a big enough deal that many TV shows were preempted for live coverage. In the above story, walk through their images on https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/northern-california-wildfires-october-2017/ Several of the images show vehicles that have been burn to a cinder from the intense heat of the surrounding flames, see https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/northern-california-wildfires-october-2017/16/ While we know of the damage the hurricane did to Houston, FL, and Puerto Rico, we now have many small areas suffering from devastation from the NorCal fires. The above link with the vehicle images seem to only show burn ice, but IMO there are unreported burnt EVs and public EVSE up there too. Plugshare.com shows plenty of L2 with some L3 installed up there. I mention this to bring to mind, what about the EVs and the public EVSE that took so many years to get established up there, is now partially destroyed. Besides what homes& their solar systems that have to be rebuilt, any fire damaged EVSE infrastructure will also have to be repaired as well. IMO, smoked EVs& public EVSE are a set back to the EV-cause.
