    It is literally snowing ash right now....They say it will take 2 weeks to contain the Station fire.

    Lately, near the area affected, it has gone into high double or frequently into triple-digit temperatures, too.

    All that's needed afterward is a rare heavy winter storm, and it's landslide time, with or without any earthquakes.
