Fires
I've lived in Southern California all my 42 years and I assure you, no terrorists are needed to start fires when the Santa Ana winds blow. Downed power lines, a stray cigarette or a tailpipe backfire are sufficient.
That said, if I were al Qaeda, I wouldn't waste my time with bombs. I'd be wandering the back country with magnesium flares. You could create a catastrophe on the cheap.
