Hawaii fire

Feel bad for the people that lost their homes. Then probably have big hedge funds come in and make it unaffordable for them to return.

 

My wife and I went there on our honeymoon back in 2010 and again last year. We had a blast. Front Street had a lot of shops to look at. Maui as a whole has been under an exceptional drought for some time. I would’ve expected a volcanic eruption to destroy the town,not a wildfire. Never mind the high death toll!

 

In deadly Maui wildfires, communication failed. Chaos overtook Lahaina along with the flames
Power and cellular outages. Roadblocks creating bottlenecks. Officials not commenting on why there were no warning sirens. Native Hawaiians being pushed off their lands.

Nope. Nothing to see here.

Didn’t it go off for a false alarm recently. But now it magically didn’t work. Makes you wonder.

 

That whole party is just getting started.
Lawsuit filed yesterday against the power company for failure to shut off lines during the storm which caused the fire.
Locals are beyond angry. They believe they were done dirty for the whole event.
So many things don’t add up.
Police closing roads to bottleneck travel to a single narrow road that got hundreds killed.
Fires so hot they incinerated bodies.
Communication blackout.
Emergency supplies declined by FEMA.
The coconut network (local version of the neighbors network) is getting info out that’s pretty scathing to local state and federal officials.
Heads will roll if truth supports the current info.
