This is normal. Climate change isn’t real. Nothing to see here.

Yes and no
I think there is definitely some confirmation bias here. If you are looking for evidence of climate change there is a high chance that any natural event will look like climate change. It might be something that only happens every century and it just looks like it could be climate change.
With that being said, I do think climate change isn’t helping anything. I don’t like the politics around it as it turns it into something that is more of a identity thing than a logical thing. You either support or deny climate change based on political views not factual evidence. The mainstream news is not helping anything when they hyper focus on storms and other events.
I think the most likely cause of this is that humans have artificially prevented wildfires for so long that the forest gets very dense. When that happens fires burn very hot and fast which completely wipes out entire areas. Ideally fires should happen periodically to help clean the forest and make way for new growth. Healthy well etablished trees will survive a normal periodic fire while diseased trees and parasites will die.
