Broken gas lines because of houses shifting in the flood waters, igniting by a spark from the downed power lines, is probably the cause........

Definitely a possibility. Like I mentioned in a later post, I re-watched some of the raw feed from early on in this particular fire, and it looked like someone had a giant bic lighter on high, resting against the bottom of a building with a flame shooting up on top of the water line. Then with the 50mph+ winds it just spread like crazy. Heard later this morning that the positioning of the island/point makes it a particularly dangerous situation as the winds whip around it.
