Everything I knew is gone, including a few close friends. We are still struggling this Christmas. Lady Lahaina was so caring and loving. She is not gone as her spirit is still felt. I am only 3 miles away from this but watching this seems like I’m miles away. My heart aches so badly. You can’t help but think that there is something way bigger at play here.

The drone was exactly shoring us that. The fire oddly had a nice clean well pattern burn. The tree branches had nice clean cuts no scorching. what they did was quentin’s the place then had a crew makes things worst and to c over up anything that was a smoking gun, hence the cats and trucks there with no damage the cars burnt melted but the street looks fine…. hmmmm oh no someone goofed up

[@deksuy]

Fire makes no distinctions and when it attacks, especially in such a catastrophe, it sets fire to everything in its path and we all agree on this. But one question remains: why are some objects (like the blue umbrellas at the beginning of the video) and some buildings practically untouched when everything around them has been completely devastated?

[@gustavomartinez-iu8ml]

There’s a blue car towards the end. Not damaged either… VERY VERY SUSPICIOUS.. seems like a very calculated fire to me.

It's called luck

[@deksuy]

@@Teal-c "luck".. are you serious? Because if you believe the bulls**t of the media then you have a problem. Luck finds a wall in front of science or chemistry. So avoid talking about the miracle. Something clearly doesn't add up. And I'm sorry that in the face of evidence, we try to find a ridiculous answer that goes against the laws of science, chemistry and physics.

[@nh6870]

Many condolences.. Before rebuilding, Maui homeowners could learn from the 1993 Laguna Beach fire where only one home in Mystic Hill was the only left untouched by it--was spared due to its construction and landscape design. The house featured double-pained glass which helps keep heat from igniting the draperies inside the house, a tile roof sealed with concrete on the ends to keep sparks out, and stuccoed eves to hide any exposed wood. Landscaping zones of fire resistant plants also helped. Read as much as you can about fire retardant materials to prevent a recurrence. Do not sell your land. If you work as a community and get a trusted single developer who can help rebuilt at a great discount, I believe it will work. Erect a memorial as a reminder of this incident if you can.
