  1. Beautiful people. So sad.

  2. Our hearts go's out to the families it is heart breaking for everyone but many people are for getting that having good home owners insurance coverage helps alot because you just never know what could happen fire and mother nature bad weather storms we never know how much damage will come from any disaster in your area of living we saw many people come to give support and assistance to families as much as possible helping them get their income benefits to assist them and providing programs support this wonderful service and assistance but as we know it takes all cooperation from everybody to meet the situation right we have many cities under water from mother nature bad weather storms conditions Mother Nature is Mother Nature no one has control over Mother Nature and as the lady said they have to just wait and rebuild that a very good positive energy attitude we are sure that the president has many cities to visit and thank all the staff Assistance programs of people providing as much as you with information and how they can help let us remember to get the best home owners and coverage in case of emergency Alerts and warnings to the Land life threatening situation the Land in Maui is very unsafe for safety workers and people returning pls let us cooperation together to get helpful information to move forward God bless all the help that has been given to everyone and the special people who are out there helping as much as possible for comfort our president has his hands very full to every city now

  3. Why is the government hiding what really happened

  4. 🙇‍♀️💜🙇‍♀️

  5. Negligent Homicide is what the officer is claming..Bubba shouted out " reckless hell. I hit just where I was aiming "

  6. Don’t let BlackRock/BlackSand steal the land.

  7. Bidens corvette caught on fire ? True speech given by that idiot in Hawai 😮😮😅

  8. Total respect but what if you lost in each-other please know that Is history you guys are by the ocean things get demolish and things today are not right. And greed and Bible says this disaster and strange things please remember pray continue to believe ok ❤ u can rebuild lord you protect these people lord people r not for us to destroy

  9. Oh Jesus, my heart is broken 💔 😢 😢😢

  10. So many communities have lost that live for each other; I hope we can bring it back in the name of Lahaina and I pray for them so they can rebuild; it's all they want, what was thiers before the fire.

  11. Don’t let the govern take the land.. it wasn’t a natural disaster.. thru change the law in July… don’t trust them

  12. That boy is so handsome

  13. so tragic… it's Oprah Island now 🙁

  14. How Did Gov Green prepare his Emergency Proclamation before the Emergency even happened on August 8th ? Emergency Proclamation dated July 17th.

  15. Understand the history of the land…..some things are not worth fighting for. Unless you break the spiritual implications behind them 🙇🏽‍♀️

  16. Why are so many people commenting on line hate Biden, hate Oprah and hate the people in charge ? No one deliberately burned down anything. I understand Hawaiians have been ripped off by big business, by their Kings innocence, ignorance to the outside world. Now is the time to make your plight known. Now is the time to support your governors desire to give Lahaina back to its people, not the time to be silent about the nasty and negative, hateful commenting.

  17. You ll see them again soon. Jesus is at the Door! RAPTURE Church. Love&comfort.

  18. how is the gravity of the situ being 'dampened'? It is all over the news, it is all over youtube, everybody is talking about this. Images and personal stories are being recorded and viewed. Personal cell phone videos from evacuees and victims during the fire and escape. Rampent conspiracy theories ad nauseum, everybody has an opinion, no one is being silenced.

  19. i'm googling what does "aloha" mean…

  20. "HOW MANY BODIES OF CHILDREN HAVE YOU RECOVERED?"
    The Democrat Party has held every electable office on every island for over 40 years.

    Despite seeing that they are not valued or respected except for their aina, they give them another chance.

    This is partly because the GOP grossly neglects Hawaii – although their track record and policies would perhaps better-serve Hawaiians.

    Perhaps after the Maui fires, Hawaiians look within and realize who works against them – especially if they are kanaka.

    Ethnic traditions, even those pertaining to handling the bones or ashes of loved ones are not honored, respected, or protected.

    There is ritual, prayer, chant that is being impeded this very moment on Maui.

    When Hawaiians realize they have installed enemies to govern them, they will vote them out.

    Every. Single. One.

  21. I hope Ophrah will donate building 20plus homes for the indigenous families…
    . In fact, if each person who has more than 500,0000 M can donate the building of 20 homes that would be great. Those who have over 100,000 million could donate gardening supplies, outdoor furnishings, and furniture to these newly built homes it would be wonderful. Let's see if this happens.

  22. It’s amazing just how much the elite and extreme wealthy hate us!!! Oprah’s new resort town comes with sacrifices from the peasantry!!!

  23. Sell your land and stop crying, move on.

  24. I remember when someone said something like "it's not just ash that was covering everyone in the fire, it was our loved ones!". I'll never forget that.

  25. ❤ sending you love from Oahu.. praying for your Ohana and all affected by this terrible disaster.. Maui Strong! Rainbow 🌈 🌺

  26. Imagine the land stolen from slaves . 150 years not 10 days . 400 million dead not 1000s but we are supposed to forget . Duk that . Reparations NoW.

  27. "And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven."

    "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."

    Bible, Gospel of Luke, chapter 21.

    "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

    Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 17 to 18.

    "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep."

    First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 3 to 6.

    "Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee."

    Acts, chapter 8, verse 22.

    "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

    Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 3.

    "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

    Gospel of Matthew, chapter 4, verse 17.

    "After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight."

    Hosea, chapter 6, verse 2.

    "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."

    Peter, chapter 3, verse 8.

    "knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."

    Peter, chapter 3, verse 3 to 4.

    "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

    First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 16 to 17.

    "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

    First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 52.

    "I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 17, verse 34 to 36.
