I felt deep sadness seeing so many homes go up in flames.

I can't imagine what that must be like.

One theory I heard was that the fire started by heavy winds that cut power lines. Here's a pic near where the Eaton fire started.

Eaton fire is believed to be started by downed power lines. Here is actual photo of the fire near the power lines around 6pm on Tuesday, Jan 7, 2024.

Powerlines near the Eaton Trail, with Altadena homes below.

I believe this is the actual tower shown in the pic above where the fire can be seen below the tower.

With 60 mph sustained winds and gusts up to 100 mph, it is standard practice to turn off the power to homes to avoid a fire. So. Cal. Edison (SCE) is saying they did so, but actual homeowners are saying they still had power even after the fire started.
