[@pohakumana4288]

The DRY side of every island has high fire danger in the summer, it's a desert. The rain forests and waterfalls in lush tropical rainforests are on the WET side of the island. It started when some poles/transformers went down, pinning a worker. Sparks fly, grass is dry in a drougt, hurricane winds that knocked the powerlines down created a perfect firestorm condition. It's happened before, just not these extreme conditions all at once. My friend in Kula her son is HFD, and the power company were stopping LOOTERS and trying to tell people to stay away from the live pwerlines on the ground. You touch, you dead. The STUPIDITY of some people in the times of disaster cause the deaths of others. Looky loos blocking egress. So sad I have so many memories of Old Lahaina, Old Sea Wall, Kimo's Ono, da Blue Max. Before it became a Lahainalunaland open air T-shirt mall. The replacement city will never replace the original. Even if they rebuilt the Pioneer Inn from original drawings, if they exist. The new stairs won't creek, the walls won't speek, and the room over the bar sure as sheet won't be $18. ever again.

There were already some small brush fires in the area, but then Hurricane Dora hundreds of miles to the south sent high winds that "fanned" the flames and caused the fire to spread rapidly. This is like if you build a campfire and you "blow" your breath on the fire to help it get started faster. So it was really the strong winds from the hurricane that made it possible...

@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist4 Jesus is not the Sovereign Almighty God The Father. He is The Only begotten Son of His God and Father. Like wise God can't exist as his own father and son. The Bible does not say Jesus is the Father nor God Almighty is the Only begotten Son. NIV was transliterated by the commission of 3 so-called homosexuals 2 men and a female. Abominations is what the three were! So it is best not to falsey quote the Word of God Almighty. In James he tell us it is best to keep our mouths shut if we do not know what we are talking about especially the things concerning God and Lord Jesus. A fool is counted wise that holds their tongue. The reason is the are willing to listen to the instructions of God and perhaps turn away from their transgressions against our Creator and King. Keep your non-existent holy ghost and rapture in the dumb theology books. The Wicked better kiss the King's feet and make Peace with Him lest they be destroyed body and soul. For so the wicked be cast in utter darkness where the worm never dies and the 🔥 is never quenched. Lord Jesus didn't pander to our sin! He told the Only absolute Truth and very sternly and firmly. Yes he is gentle but telling repent just to repent is not going to save their souls. Most people doesn't what to repents means in the world today. The Wicked will continue to be so here in Earth till wipe out by 🔥. That is the Real Truth after the fact of them being Judged for their evil works.

That neighbor set the apartment on fire as his habit and disconnected his smoke alarm, then runs away for a few days. Am above him, never heard his smoke alarms as he burned all kinds of things often but could smell through the shared vent system. One night about 2am, am smelling smoke, not hearing any alarms so went down to the floor under me. Inside hallway alarms blaring until I was near deaf and emergency safety lights flash flashing and some tenants were waking up, trying to figure out in the loudness, lights and firemen and the tenants asking me what was going on. Ended up screaming shirt words hear and there. Not everyone woke up of about twenty tenants in that floor. Most being senior citizens were sound asleep, don't think too many were hard of hearing. Fortunately, everything that night worked out ok and everyone was safe. But it was a very close call. The next day, the tenants that slept through it all were very surprised as us other tenants described the situation and were puzzled, how most of the other tenants slept through. Outside there windows were six fire trucks with ladders and there red lights flashing like crazy. And, many slept through it all. Several tenants on the other floors came down to check as they had been awakened by the lights and noise, yet again on the other floors, many were sound asleep.

This is our new reality and it changes everything. We’ve got to do things differently about how we design communities, how we build homes, where we build homes, because this isn’t going away.

This was an orchestrated crime with Directed Energy Weapons. There are plans to build “Smart Cities” & prepare for the incoming Globalist Agendas.

Bring in the cruise ships dock the cruise ships for room and board to help them people they can serve hot meals on the cruise ships people that have a safe haven to stay at or bring FEMA trailers in clear areas and put the trailers in that's how you helped them people

[@ricardofierro7041]

That’s a great idea. How long will it take to get through the RED tape to do that ? Or for some politician to suggest it making it look like it was their idea. Oh WAIT politicians are too busy with Hunter Biden’s computer.

[@erickborling1302]

GREAT IDEA!!!

[@RaymondHng]

@@erickborling1302There is no wharf on Lahaina that can support an ocean liner. The waters are too shallow.

[@anthonylagunas6737]

Where are the FEMA trailers coming from the main land. That will take time.

[@mildredsmith9177]

I am concerned that we are so short-sighted. It is time to total up on evil. There is many different directions of human suffering that we are taught to ignore. Greed is our enemy. Capitlism is the mother of greed.

These fires were a deliberate & nefarious crime. Study the temperature necessary to melt wheels off of cars & turn homes to powder rubble, while the majority of trees remain untouched.

Praying for those who are still missing, and those who are without a home. I wish I could go over there and help those in need. I hope we are able to deploy our military reserves to help out. 🙏 😢

Pray for Maui.🙏

[@sagesufferswell]

I don't understand how this happened, so quickly, with none of the usual infrastructure in place to save anyone.

[@erickborling1302]

A wet winter over grassland populated by invasive grasses is how it happens. Maui always has dry summers. It was a matter of time, not global warming the data shows. Global warming is real but this one had nothing to do with Global Warming.

[@BigBadJerryRogers]

What usual infastructure? Wasn't that the bill Biden recently got passed the Republicans did all they could to not have to pay for?

[@yukomattingly]

I heard that Oprah Winfrey and Jeff Bezos contribute to Maui's recovery, very encouraging. I’m praying for quick recovery for Maui Island.

Man! The most depressing 19 minutes news segment

[@francesgaia4649]

President Biden pledged maximum help. Why don't you mention that.

[@Hatewontwin]

They shouldn't have to. Of course the President of The United States would be there to help. ANY president would be. Or maybe they're just not human..🇺🇸

[@Tucker777888]

President Biden needs to be in jail. If you compare criminal activity, if you can even find any with Trump, it pales in comparison to what Biden and his son has committed. Biden's own admission by the way.

[@carolinematusevich889]

It's still gonna take another week for those FEMA pods to arrive. I doubt it will be enough, so I bet they could use some tents and camping supplies donated. The community is tight knit, so many people are likely to share the amenities inside their pods with those camping. The saddest part of the lives lost is that Lahaina had a large Native Hawaiian population, especially among their elders, who are the keepers and teachers of their language, customs and traditions. They are cherished as much as their children. My condolences to those who have suffered so much loss.

[@sagesufferswell]

Don't go to Hawaii on vacation. Donate to them instead!. They need all their resources right now.

[@viturinotorrens4269]

Everyone needs to stop and help the people of Maui!...

Such a sad, sad sorry 😢.
