Omg, poor people…🙏
No love and compassion from the WEF.
There should be some serious investigation. The whole town was burnt to the ground and there was no serious warning about it. Was the whole town administration sleeping or did they just run away to save their lives when the situation got out of control leaving the occupants of the town at the mercy of God. Responsibilty needs to be fixed and action needs to be taken against those officials who did not perform their duties properly.
do the actual residents still have no internet access or cell phones? I do not trust the media I trust regular citizens straight from the horses mouth
How did the fire start?
Coordinating a fire 🔥 on a windy night. Ha MONN
Government says: ok, we are set for construction in 2025. We already moved the people from their homes. Pay them off half for their property meanwhile the new land will be worth millions.
Their money won't be worth much in their native lands. As usual they will have to move to Vegas where many have moved to and one day of possible visit their native land as a tourist and no longer as a resident.
I have to reiterate this, from another comment i saw, there's an ocean right there, how were they not able to extinguish the fire, quickly and effectively?
So horrific!! No words, my dad is from Hawaii, he was there during the Pearl Harbor attack in Oahu, he has seen destruction but this is a whole other level. So hard to watch!!! I see this and the lyrics to The Eagles song pops up in my head…Sailed to Lahaina, just like the missionaries did, so many years ago… you call some place paradise…
Thoughts and prayers….
This fire was started by corporate America and the local government. Here comes the new hotel resorts and the new "Monaco " of the U.S. its too perfect the area that got burned.
I sent $25 to the Maui food center. That will feed 100 meals.
Who can match me?
It too bad this isn’t an oil rich town, then our government would spar no expense to get troops and equipment there.
I’m really sorry for the people of Lahaina , I always loved being in Lahaina because it was always so beautiful and peaceful.
Can you imagine? If Trump was still in office?
He might have sent them extra cases of paper towels or flew there on Air Force 1 and threw paper towels at those those people that had lost everything. Trump is a total butthead that doesn't care about anyone else but himself
Those poor folks in Maui, most of them have lost everything..
Biden immediately issued a state of emergency for Maui
My heart is broken seeing the devastation. Maui exspecially Lahaina holds a special place in my heart as I had been there many times and stood under the incredible Banyon tree many times. My heart and prayers go to the locals, the people who lost their lives and their loved ones and the tourists. ❤🙏❤️🙏
💔😢
For Maui
