That proves nothing. I am well aware of Santa Anas, and have relatives who lost their home to them during the 1980's. I know they're nothing new. What IS new is higher wind speeds, and more intense drought. No rain in the Fall and early Winter is a contributing factor and that, again, is due to climate change. I am a Californian and my sources are local. The affected area gets its majority of rain during these months and there was no rain this year. The situation is much worse than it was 5000 years ago and worsening every day that we do not act.
