😢so like do we still believe we can survive hellfire? This is just small simulation
I really hope we dont forget about this in a week and go back to which celebrity is pregnant this month. We need to make some changes so this doesnt keep happening
All our tax money has already gone foreign
Disaster are getting more common and more worse, there is a need to spend more money on disaster rescue and disaster relief. A bigger and better disaster rescue team can rescue many lives.
If only this was natural. It's sad to see what was thrust onto the affected people. Prayers up for Hawaii.
Since this country has foolish approach to dealing with fires, it seems like the citizens ought to buy thier own hose and pumps.
A few hundred dollar portable water pumps would of gone a long ways to save alot of houses cheaply and easily….
Now once things regrow there, do a prescribed burn every 5 – 10 years…
I would have stayed to protect but once it got hot I would have grabbed my board and just float the coast and surf. The beach was the security
Who started the fire?
Noho ikaika Hawaii ❤❤❤❤
Ok but where are the locals? 👀 only one native Hawaiian to interview about a Hawaiian city being burned down? 🤔
Send marshmallows and fish heads
Looks like a mini Hiroshima
God bless you people. We lost our neighborhood in a California fire, and it isn't something I would wish on anyone. Hawaii will grow back because you have abundant moisture. May you find peaceful places to stay until you rebuild.
Insurance companies will do their best no to pay, and will try to stop coverage
So sad I was just there a couple of months ago.
Could this be climate change?
Sad.
So very, very sad (and inexcusable) that Maui County's elected officials were more concerned with filing lawsuits against fossil fuel companies over non-existent climate change impact and made time to make an official resolution supporting the Paris Climate Accord but had no time and no desire to ensure Maui County had adequate fire mitigation and firefighting capabilities in place. Moral of the story is don't vote for climate alarmist liberals if you don't want to risk having your community totally destroyed.
