u should look into it, seems there are genetically modified titanium trees in california that stands tall where houses are pulverized
there also seems to exist a special form of fire that only burns houses and cars
research it, directed EMF seems to be a main component, it seems it requires some electrical conduits to transfer energy, prolly why they close the grid so they can fry locally without destroying the complete grid.
its a type of high tech pesticide control where humans are the pesticides, it might also be that they are prototyping some tech live on californians
