The Canary Islands are also on fire, nice spots to weather the coming solar minimum if you are nicely set up.

has anyone ever been to hawaii?

the MAJORITY of poeple in hawaii are HAWIIANS.

yet, this guy from kingston ny, gets elected?
and the senator, similar background, gets elected?

lmfao.
the skam is soooo in.
thats why there are taxxxes and fakke waars.

The first major fires appeared to have started just after midnight on Tuesday.

how many other naturally ocuring wild fires spontaneously start in the middle of the night?

a reply to: CrastneyJPR

they have all but narrowed it down to downed power lines. they showed spikes and fault on sensors before and after the fires started.

there are also a couple of videos that show small fires starting from downed lines. if a line starts a fire and no one is there to put it out like the one guy in the video below and winds are driving the fire guess what, a wildfire will most likely occur. it's happened before and will happen again.

here a couple of videos of different folks and fires at different places on Maui.





this one is from the bird sanctuary in Upcountry.


and report and the sensors showing faults.

Robert Marshall, CEO of Whisker Labs, a company that collects and analyzes electrical grid data, said sensors installed throughout Maui to detect sparking power lines showed a dangerously high number of such live wire incidents that night and into the following morning. The sensors, 70 in all, record breaks in electric transmission after trees fall on power lines or other accidents, and they showed dozens of such faults in areas where fires likely broke out and around the time the blazes probably started.
The faults, which Marshall likened to a series of circuit breakers tripping at the same time, were remarkable for the amount of power lost, a third of the usual 120 volts coursing through lines. Marshall said he couldn’t say whether any of the sparks resulted in a fire, only noting that there were many opportunities for it to happen.
“A substantial amount of energy was discharged,” said Marshall, pointing to a graph on his computer screen with several lines plunging at the same time. “Any one of these faults could have caused a wildfire, any could have been an ignition source.”
Videos put scrutiny on downed power lines as possible cause of deadly Maui wildfires

for my money, multiple videos showing fires started by downed lines, reports of multiple live wire faults during the night and morning.the cause is simple, downed power lines started fires that were driven by high winds from hurricane dora.

as i said not the first time, and won't be the last.

Its almost certainly govt negligence of the grid, and mismanagement of the lands that lead to this, just now they are rushing to take advantage of it so they can get the land.

So much evil, but in the midst of it hope:

MAUI🚨 In the ruins of Lahaina, a surfing legend leads a volunteer army to get supplies to survivors. Archie Kalepa, a well-known waterman and member of the Polynesian Voyaging Society, is stepping up to lead a grassroots relief effort. Archie Kalepa wasn't home when the fires began, but his neighbors joined firefighters to protect their cul-de-sac next to the Lahaina Civic and Recreation Center. When Kalepa received news of the fires, he was training people in water rescue in Lake Tahoe. From there, he reached out to friends and arranged for supplies to be delivered to his home. Flying into Maui the very next day, Kalepa arrived by boat with supplies to his hometown of Lahaina, where he witnessed the stark devastation - charred hills, burned-out cars, and destroyed homes. One of Kalepa's first actions was to pull Starlink satellite receivers from the Polynesian Voyaging Society's canoes to restore internet and communication to the area. Today, the LA Times published an article about Kalepa, a former lifeguard better known as Uncle Archie, and what he has accomplished for his Lahaina community over the last week. He says his cul-de-sac has become "a starting point to the rebuilding of our communities." LA Times journalist Jack Dolan shares the story of Uncle Archie and "his volunteer army," who have transformed the waterman's front yard into a "supply depot to rival those established by the government and aid organizations." "Right now, this is not my home," he said, sporting a neon vest and a Walkie Talkie strapped to his chest, directing dozens of volunteers. "This is our community's home." Life-sustaining supplies — water bottles, gas cans, tents, generators, food, and medication — are neatly stacked and free for any Lahaina residents who stop by. After turning his home into a supply pod, Uncle Archie is now setting up pods in other Lahaina neighborhoods to support his entire community. “We need to stay strong for the long haul,” he said. “So everybody who owns a home here can return.” Uncle Archie's story continues below with videos and links for how you can help the community of Lahaina, Maui. 👇

Ok, so a question:
Has anyone heard about a real estate company coming around where the fire happened, 2 weeks before it started?

My neighbor is from Hawaii and has a huge family in this area apparently. Her husband came over last night and was talking to my hubby. He told him her family said that it happened to them, and others.

Just wondering if anyone else had heard anything like that?

Not Hawaii, but I've heard similar in Europe. Older residences on desirable land (near beaches) that didn't want to sell got burned out, and corrupt local governments did not detect any arson behind the fires.

The government should take back all the land given to corporations for pineapple and sugar plantations for pennies on the dollar back in the 1900s, since they're not using that land for agriculture anymore, and put up low and moderate income housing. Those corporations shouldn't be able to sell that real estate at market prices now.

What bugs me, okay, the guy who decided not to use the sirens is in a hot seat. But, the state should have already had policy in place for using the Emergency Alert System for various things, like a waling siren for tsunami, and intermittent siren for fire, and beeping sirens for incoming missiles, for example.

And!!!!! The guy in charge of the water, who thinks water is holy, (ok) refused to turn on the pumps because he's mad at Maui Land Co. WTF!

First of all, no one should have that power, and secondly, why would they use potable or water table water when sea water would do the trick better, easier and cheaper!
