Surprisingly I haven't. And a few of the YousTubes guys I follow were very close to (almost in) the fires.

I know Musk sent Starlink units and enabled satellite connections for T Mobile because of outages, so there were some. Probably the biggest outages are where the fires were, which likely also destroyed the ham equipment.

I wonder if the nature of this disaster doesn't lend itself as much to needing radio like a blizzard or hurricane might.
