Wild fires happen when there are more structures than trees and vegetation. When human build more structures and cutting away natural forest the natural balance cause destruction, such fires, flood storms, climate heating and natural resource depletion. The only way to lessen natural disasters is less human destruction to mother nature. Mother nature has no differential treatment toward any of her children, she issue seeking balance in her world, Earth. When one is affected others are also affected, human can not truly know Mother Nature.
I'm in the Canadian province of Alberta. Seeing the devastation in Lahaina reminds me of the wildfire which decimated the oil town of Fort McMurray. Like Lahaina, the residents of Ft. Mac also only had one road out of town.
I wish the best for everyone who's been affected by the fire, especially the residents who now have to deal with the aftermath of this disaster.
NBC NEWS its old da news its history already. What your company can do is HELP da MAUI people who lost everything. If can't then stop your Lipping about da fire on MAUI. SAY NO MORE.
The house of the wicked shall burn!!!!!!!
Wait. The young woman being interviewed was sayiing she was on vacation in Maui but when the reporter asked her where she stayed, the young lady said "we went to my high school"😶.
So, is she really a resident of Maui?
If she's on vacation to the island, how is it that she's staying at "her high school"?🤔
We must help Lahaina immediately. From raising billions for the building to saving The Banyan Tree. So start organizing charities, set go fund me apps, and others who have business around the world start raised a lot funds and get fresh water and fresh plant food for the banyan please! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
i think the average home price there is 1.4 million dollars

Lets keep building wooden houses 👌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
Hey Mr. Satan man Zuckerberg, how bout shakin free some of your evil and help some of these people you fake Hi resident.
Haven’t been in 18 years I feel bad for these people can’t imagine leaving
Oh that’s so sad…I drive the road to hanna years ago and now it’s the road to devastation. 😢 bless the residents, animals, island.
Properties still worth millions..
How did the fires start?
The Gods are angry
It appears very strong hurricane winds uprooted electric poles which started the fires. I am originally from Bangalore, India. We don't have hurricanes there but we experience very strong winds during the monsoon which uproot trees and electric poles. During such events, as a precaution, the power company deliberately shuts off all power transmission in the city until the storm passes. I am not an expert on this but this is something we need to look into doing here in the US.
OMG we have to stop treating the planet like a trash 🗑️ dump and start treating the planet like we want to be treated.
It’s sad. Seems like a lot of history was lost. Would be nice to see locals owning more homes. 😢
Heartbreaking. ❤ Maui 🌈
Mother Nature SHALL HAVE NO MERCY!
It will be a major movie in 2 years guarantee it. Just like everything else the World Trade Centers etc etc etc. the only thing they cannot make a movie of is 2032. I'm surprised there's not a movie of the covid-19 yet. The virus I see everyday was in the movie outbreak. Hakuna Matata no❤ for anyone on planet Earth
F-A-K-E CGI generated FIRE
@2:08 laughing after reading the script
"Bella Adorable" …..LOL oh that's funny
Here's a note for the LIARS and DECEIVERS…..you'll never see it coming.
Why do you take a moment and silence on air for all the lives lost in all the lives affected you just skipped right over that talking about the infrastructure
😮 wow
come on talk to some real people on the island
He doesn't need impeached, he needs to go to prison.
A resident said the fire started from an electric car. That's why the press is saying the weather caused it.
So Sad, I have reservation for Maui on September, Do I need change my plan?
🤔 Is anyone else confused with this interview? She said she's on vacation but spent the night in her school's parking lot. Then, she said she couldn't go back home to get her stuff before the flight in the morning.
They definitely need to pay more carbon taxes over there
JUST AN AWFUL TRAGEDY in du5ch a fabulous place. lives lost, fire burning thru multiple towns, folks missing, family can't get in touch with them to find out if they were able to evacuate. total chaos & fire still burning. 🙏 prayers up.
Nature bats last!!!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕯️
Nature has the final say in all climate negotiations.. Oh im so sorry for the people there .
All the bots in the comment section are making sure they stick to the script.
I hope whoever set those fires is happy with themselves, eco warriors should rot in prison
A friend and I departed Maui yesterday afternoon. We had to evacuate our hotel for the night. After that, we caught a Lyft ride back to the hotel and since it was our last day anyways, we packed, tried to discover how bad the airport was by phone calls to no avail, and went to the airport early.
Hawaiian Airlines fixed us up within ten minutes at the ticket counter with an early flight to Honolulu to connect with their nonstop flight to Las Vegas, my hometown. Hawaiian Airlines impressed me. The evacuation crews were great, too. Maui's people are beautiful and I pray the best for them.
I hope leaving the island today and the next couple of days will remain as simple as it was for us.
BIBLICAL PROPHECY for Ammonites/JAPANESE is (Jeremiah 49: 1 to 6).
BIBLICAL PROPHECY for Moabites/CHINESE (Jeremiah 48).
DEUTERONOMY 23:3&4. ALL PRAISES!!!!🙏🏿
Where was Jesus?
I’m way more worried about local residents than about vacationers.
I thought this was a very wealthy area? Where are the rescue crews and what not?
NBC, Just a quick question: Why do you keep finding stranded tourists to interview but not many residents, especially native Hawaiians? Please comment.
Ukraine is more important than these thing will come and go . Russia must loose
No ID how can they fly?
so sorry sending prayers from oakland ca . this looks so much like the devastating fire 🔥 that Happened in Paradise wiped it out . all the human life and animal life gone 🥲
..How Does A Hurricane🌀🌊⛈️Start A Fire🔥???
Governments are able to make hurricane 🌀 and the degree of the destruction. So you know. Wake up to new slavery.
