Hawaii wildfires deadliest in the US in over 100 years
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 авг 2023
- The Governor of Hawaii has warned the number of people who have died in the wildfires will rise, making this the deadliest fire in the US for more than a hundred years.
Sniffer dogs are deployed to locate bodies in the wreckage but so far have only covered three percent of the search area - and tension is mounting among local residents who are demanding to know why enough wasn't done to sound the alarm so more people could get out in time.

I can understand this happening in 1906 but not today. The authorities screwed up in a big way.
Mother Earth hasn't changed a bit. We are pretty small and weak compared although we'd love to believe technology can save us, simply said it can't.
You have too much faith in technology, little respect for nature, and seek blame for the deaths. If you saw the commotion outside your house, would you wait for authorities to tell you to move? Or would you act on your own accord? If the winds were blowing fireballs at your neighborhood at 80mph, would you wait for a siren? We know how it went down here, and everyone outside of hawaii is just trying to blame someone.

🗣Repent Israelites all praise to the most high YAHAWAH AND HIS SON YAHAWASHI🤴🏽🦁🛸🔥
The so called black man, Latino, and Native Americans are the Israelites. Yahawah chosen people. That are scattered in all nations through our fathers. Making them Israelite foreigners/Scattered sheep/The multitude.
Yahawashi speaking: Matthew 15:24
“But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Deuteronomy 7:6 “For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
Deuteronomy 32:39 “See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.”
Nahum 1:3
“The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.”

This needs to be investigated by an outside source
Everyone knows tornadoes in hurricanes have VERY high wind. Everyone knows august/September is summer and dry. Lahaina build out of wood. Leaders should have predicted it but they will blame climate change. “Not my fault” they will say, “ couldn’t have predicted it”, shift the blame,….but all the conditions were THERE!!!!
We have already investigated in hundreds of other directed energy weapon fires across the world.
This whole event is suspicious.
What outside source?
You must live such a comfortable life to not believe bad things happen.
For whatever reasons, UK's Channel 4 News has a better coverage on this tragic fire than many of our national news network channels.
That's because your stateside mainstream mass media ALWAYS controls the narrative and how they want you to beLIEve that it was a "brushfire" that destroyed Lahaina and other parts of Maui.
I agree! Something about US media focus on body counts and drama
You’re just not looking.
@@mandala314because it actually affects people in the US, whereas it may as well be a fictional story for people in the UK
@@rowmagnvsThat doesn’t make any sense 😂
This was just sent from an Oahu friend...
Just reported from a whistleblower:
What you're not hearing from our local government -
I just got out of a meeting where I was informed by someone in the Mayors office about developments that are being kept from the public. I am not a conspiracy theorist and I don’t want to make trouble but here’s what I’ve heard.
The amount of fatalities is expected to be more than 500 but less than 1000.
Many of the fatalities will be children who were at home because they canceled school. Parents worked and were not there to evacuate the children. Kids had no idea they needed to leave and by the time they noticed their homes or apartments were on fire, it was too late.
The government is worried about how we will react when we learn that the fire department left the fire earlier in the day and claimed it was 100% contained knowing that the winds were expected to be 70mph by the afternoon. This is against all fire control protocols. The fire department should not have left the original fire unattended. They are scared that the public calls for accountability will be more than they can control and protests and riots will occur.
They plan to lock down Lahaina for several months. It will take months to clean up the hazardous and environmental contamination. They won’t have enough housing for
All the displaced.
There were 2,000 unaccounted for this morning. They have a list where they are trying to keep track. They found 700 today. But there are still 1300 missing.
They are very worried that the community is going to freak out when they find out how not a single fire truck responded to the fires. The emergency sirens were not activated (hurricane sirens) and loss of life could have been kept down by better emergency management which utterly failed.
I’m not trying to make waves or stir up problems but I was so angry and sad when I found out how many children are dead that I knew I had to post this and let everyone know what I have learned.
It’s time for our officials to stand up, tell the truth, and face the music. They failed Lāhainā guys. Our government is full of incompetent nepotism. The fire chief is the son of the former fire chief. We need to hold officials accountable for the mistakes they made.
Please don’t hate the messenger. I’m just relaying what I learned today.
God bless Maui and Lahaina! Pray for all the victims.
I see you posted this one hour ago, and I am the second one to give you a thumbs up for your bravery.
Be careful.
If you are anywhere on the Island of Maui, keep a low profile.
This was no accident or act of nature.
Disappear and maybe talk later, but for now, be quiet.
Thank you for bringing out the truth! And all my love to all the people and animals who are hurt by this disaster... ❤️
You should look up the meaning of contained.
Out of allll the footage I have seen, this is the 1st footage to have local people being interviewed…❤
Yes! The local news channels love to focus on crying tourists whose honeymoon was ruined. There was one video with some haole (blonde with a bun) and a bikini top smiling and acting like it was a joke. She actually was a resident and said her house burned but she sure was thinking it was funny.
There are other sites w/ more interviews. More than one.
I think most are just focused on interviewing human beings
Maybe they are the only ones available,or able to take bri*ses.. JS ✌️🤟⚜️
"climate change" may have nothing to do with this at all. Natural water sources on the island were diverted away from this area by large corporations - areas that had been farming sugar cane, pineapple etc were left to go fallow as she said. Power lines may have been felled by high winds and sparked the fire. And then there are natural earth forces that have nothing to do with human behavior that cause periodical changes such as El Nino and La Nina. Volcanic activity also cause changes. A lot of these people who are responsible for management of the island are pivoting to 'climate change" to take the "heat" off themselves.
The Great Chicago Fire was a conflagration that burned in the American city of Chicago during October 8-10, 1871. The fire killed approximately 300 people, destroyed roughly 3.3 square miles (9 km2) of the city including over 17,000 structures, and left more than 100,000 residents homeless. The fire began in a neighborhood southwest of the city center. A long period of hot, dry, windy conditions, and the wooden construction prevalent in the city, led to the conflagration.@@HowLifeWorks Gee wonder what caused those high winds and heat when there were no cars or airplanes or electricity.
I wholeheartedly agree. Yes, the natural events came together just right for a terrible disaster. However, greedy short sighted management on the macro and micro scale seem far more to blame.
Seems a bit so? But, a Weakening Hurricane in the south east and, a very High Pressure system in the North west? this Caused HIGH PRESURE GRADIENT Pushing intense Hurricane Force winds of 75MPR to Blow South east through the area. Meteorologist Never even Sent a Warning to the people when they knew what was Going on with the Weather and Land level dryness. Some system ?

Yep. “Climate change”, blamed again.
I got questions, if that is true;
Too much non-native grasses that were overgrown…how is that climate change?
And, how did climate change prevent the early warning sirens?
they just love using the new catchy buzzwords. oh, it's 'climate boiling' now btw haha
All I hear is colonizers making up excuses for problems they are ultimately responsible for. Colonizers imported the plants, so the colonizers must go. Decolonize Hawai’i and give it back to the indigenous people.
What has sirens got to do with causes of forestfires?

Dont be stupid.
Im from Australia and I was there 5 days before it happened. I am lucky my family and I have left before it all happened but it blows my mind how close I was to being caught up in it. I am so sorry for this tragedy for those that were not as lucky. I will do what I can and donate to any reliefs.

Living in a town that once was similarly destroyed by wildfire, in a country which lives with the annual threat of wildfire fires, Australia. One can only sympathise with the people affected by this disaster. It is a chain of progressive circumstances that leads to the moment that triggers the disaster. Fire needs fuel, oxygen and ignition temperature,the first two were in abundant supply on this volcanic island at the point of ignition. The fuel for civil infrastructure conflagration was provided by humans. Once fire takes hold in these wild fire conditions in a populated area it is high intensity infra red radiation that penertrates buildings through the windows causeing buildings to ignite inside in an explosive fashion. Modern living fills buildings with high energy fuel materials, it is population density that determines the scale of human impact.
Thank you so much for this post. Very informative for me and filled with compassion.
That still doesn't give the actual cause of the fire. This fire was deliberately set by people who wanted this land but the good citizens of Maui wouldn't sell. No such thing as global warming or climate change.
i sent a lot of money to australia at that time to help the wildlife and repopulating vulnerable species. i also know people who lost everything in the paradise fire here. ive lived on the west coast of the us for 60 years and i have seen a lot of fires. but NEVER like this. lots of love to australia i hope you are recovering
The source of ignition is not relevant to the tragedy caused wether it be natural or criminal.
Australian experience is often criminal by pyrotechnic morons.. Lightening most common. Criminal careless actions such as using angle grinder in fire ban seasons. Etc. The outcome is the same death and destruction.
@@williamhenderson4182 They just don't get it do they...
This is so sad. God bless these people and help them to recover as best as possible. So many lives lost may their soul rip.
This is man made tragedy, but media is saying otherwise. Have been to Maui , it is a beautiful place, But felt like pseudo / made up culture. The sales teams at my company always had their gatherings over there, so was curious to visit. And other reason was to see tropical trees and tropical nature. Everything was so expensive ,but sadly I didn't find the nature I was looking for in main city. Most trees were palm and , flowering trees planted to look city more attractive. Also didn't see any grazing animals like cows , goats which keep grass growth in control The old sugar cane fields were all dried up .Most of the visitors were rich and many driving expensive cars. Walmart was over crowded with shortage of supplies. Felt like local nature was being hijacked for tourism. Why do people expect same kind of lifestyle like mainland on tiny island in middle of ocean?
What happened is very tragic. But don't blame nature. The island couldn't handle that stress anymore where majority mass of the island is made from things coming from some where else.
It couldn't handle a fire intentionally created. The hurricane force winds were known about for days. It was the perfect opportunity for arsonist behavior.
Three wildfires simultaneously happening in Maui and the Big island... never happened before? Ya right... INTENTIONAL
THIS GUY'S REPLY WAS DELETED... WHY THE CENSORSHIP?!
@@hawaiifreespeechnews which guy
Amazes me how there is always trees with leaves on after.. Direct energy weapons!!
@@hawaiifreespeechnews GoogleTube only does that when you’re naughty.
My heart goes out to the people of Lahaina and Maui. It's a crime someone was asleep at the controls of the 'sophisticated alarm system'.
No one should relay on any system or government to save themselves. Be awake and aware of what is happening around you, be prepared for the unexpected. Seems a lot of general maintenance was ignored, maybe an ‘it can’t happen here’ attitude isn’t a good thing. People need to take responsibly for themselves.
@@user-jc8rz2jj9r💯 People need to wake up and stop expecting the Gov to protect them. So many Robots in Hawaii that have no clue
With only one way out of town I don't think a few minutes sooner on the evac notice would have made any difference. Roads were clogged and out standstill very quickly.
@@danendsley9310Tell that to all those who needed 1 minute, or 10 more seconds to escape
Relying on the government to save you is a recipe for death. Take care of yourself.
There were multiple fires that day, on Maui. The fires disabled the cell phones that the first responders use. The large hurricane south of the Islands along with the high pressure north exasperated the winds in Hawaii to gust of 80 miles per hour. The defoliation of native forest for Sandalwood harvest. And, the unfortunate history of water being permanently removed from the west side of the island for sugarcane propagation. These five things were some of the causes of the Lahaina disaster. In my personal opinion, another item added would be the nonrequired use of fire suppression sprinklers, invented in 1812. Only the elevation of greed over the respect of life, in my mind, is why fire suppression sprinklers aren't in every first-world building built ever since 1812. Yes, with that much wind, it wouldn't have prevented the Lahaina fires. But, it might have slowed them down enough to save lives. Again, that's my personal opinion. Our hearts and prayers go to the people of Maui. And, any people on the planet who might be suffering in any way. Aloha nui loa, malama pono.
Thanks for your opinion, I agree that given such a dry area on the Lee side of the island mixed with hurricane winds created such a particular and dangerous situation
Sprinklers wouldnt have made a difference.
They were lit.
The lasers didn't help the people any..but the NWO loved them. STFU liars.

The same thing happened in Portugal in 2017 many people died!
Today some residents testified that they saw burning debris falling from the sky at different points in the forest around 4am.. they heard the noise of a small plane but could not see it. This area of Hawaii in a few years will only have luxury resorts. We're being ruled by vampires!!

Everyone stop responding to the fake bot accounts, they are always a first and second name followed by 4 random numbers who makes a youtube account with such little personality like that, they are just here to attempt to shut down the truth.
Deadliest ever, Peshtigo Fire, October 8, 1871. 1,500 dead. Firestorm in Wisconsin. The Chicago Fire was the same day with less lost than Peshtigo. Most of the US did not know about Peshtigo until weeks later because the Chicago Fire took the headlines.
Now we know and condolences, but they are talking about the deadliest with the past 100 years.
Incredibly heartbreaking.
Everyone profiting from these disaster videos should donate the money to help the relief effort profiting from others disasters is absolutely sickening
How do you think people are aware or made aware of disasters and tragedy in this world, people, film it and then broadcast it out for everyone to see.
I know it’s horrific to look at but recording these images is actually a good thing.
Yea good luck with that
People deserve the Truth on what happened !
No one knows. Is there someone on maui laughing at the fire thinking they got away with it ? Is there someone, in or from maui wondering "it could not have been me!" We don't know
the two main emergency response people for that island were not on the island at the time. It could be likely that the emergency response did not happen because there was no one in charge to order the evacuation or sound an alarm. this is what happened in the soviet union. top down control would break down often.
Well said. It's not to early. We can learn a lot about much from this if we honestly look at the entire picture.
The water system was not capable of handling anything near this magnitude
The great state of Hawaii in no way, shape or form resembles the Soviet Union, and you know it…
They didn't shut down the power lines.
They didn't turn on the siren.
They didn't send in supplies and aid when they sent empty busses to get the tourists.
They lie about the body count.
They told residents to shelter in place.
They didn't send boats to rescue people in the water.
They failed to rescue 1 building.
They got pushback from residents when they wanted condos and hotels to replace recidences.
@@seanbrown9048 regardless of your feelings. Lets wait out to see what the reports say. there will be an investigation. And it will likely follow what I said.
My thoughts and prayers go out to these people. They were sitting ducks, with an emergency alert system not working properly and only one way out of the city when the fires spread. And, where was the fire department. There are videos of these fires during the day as well, but not one fire alarm or fire truck on any video.
They said it was the best system for America built and yet it doesn't work? I think their Giving us a Hint that we can no longer protect our selves. I SURE HOPE I'M WRONG.
Very suspicious
Have you been there and see how the town was built and how it grew to the way it is now. No one or few fire trucks can stop or slow this fire storm, most are out fighting the wild fires around the island.
@@benh3427 No, I haven't been there. But, these fire storms have become more frequent in the Western States. I found a video that provides common sense solutions that were developed by citizens working with professionals in their state to address these fires storms. I hope it's not disrespectful to be talking about solutions this early, but this is the time a state legislature is likely to be open to providing money that brings local people together to fund solutions that have worked in other states that have experienced these fire storms. ruclips.net/video/km6azKlFTTQ/видео.html
Question: was there military exercises going on nearby when this happened?
Fair question. Wonder if there may have been an "special units" there. Not saying there were. Just saying would be nice to find out definitely not.
I can feel your pain. We are deeply saddened by the destruction and loss of lives this fire caused. I hope you find the much needed comfort and support at this tragic time.

My heart goes to the families who ve lost their homes and loved ones. May they gain strength from the spirit of togetherness shown by the community at large.
I have a prediction: Lahaina will be the first wildland region that they refuse to allow land owners to rebuild in, and will set precident for the push for agenda 2030 wildland rezoning plans
This would not be surprising. The native Hawaiians traditionally lived in grass and palm huts near the coast. These structures didn’t last long so they were frequently abandoned and a new one was built. In the 60s a law was passed that said when these structures were rebuilt, they had to be built to modern building codes. Of course, the natives could not comply so their land was then confiscated and sold to developers. After a while in response, a native went to a land board meeting and blew himself up, killing and injuring many people but this was a futile act and the practice was continued until all of the native property was taken and given ( or sold) to developers.

Frustration, anxiety, pain, anger, sorrow, love...emotions we all have and feel. Through tragedy we learn. Our hearts yearn for those that have been affected. Resiliency is the cornerstone of humanity and that Aloha has been on display by the people of Hawaii as well as the the US and around the world.

The Governor of Hawaii needs to be arrested.
AGREED.. he's a shady person who didn't prepare Lahaina for this. He is grossly overweight.. maybe he should have been doing his job rather than eating cheeseburgers all day.. not to be mean.. just honest
So tragic to see the devastation but beautiful to see the all hands on deck with people helping others
Something don't add up 😮
In July 2021 the town of Lytton, B.C. set the record for the hottest temperature ever recorded in Canada in over 150 years. Over the following 2 days that record was broken again and again eventually reaching 49.6 C (121 F). The following day no one is certain of the temperature because they were all running for their lives as 90% of the town burned to the ground in a forest fire that killed 2 people. The town has still not rebuilt.
I guess no one want to return to the same town and Canada is vast for the rest of the town people.
They only have about 60 years of temperature data from that place, so no to hard to break a record and make sensationalist headlines.
Did anyone else record these temperatures to back up the evidence or is it just global warming agenda pushing fake news, i haven't felt a rise in temperature throughout my whole life and no older members of my family have either.
@@dski8097 climate change deniers are as feeble minded as those who refuse to vaccinate.

Feels like a game of survival on an island, except you would really die if you don't escape.
Any Hawaiian I’ve ever met is a strong proud person.
You guys will pull through!
Prayers from Massachusetts.
I’d rather die getting blown to bits before I know what happened than in my vehicle while on an evacuation route away from my home due to fire. It’s hard to think about how our fellow country people died this way. I wish everyone had a way to get to the water in time. The irony of all that water so nearby just breaks my heart. I hope the survivors and families of the victims can feel all out love, around the world.
So sorry for them
Such a tragedy for these people. The loss of life is shocking and answers will be needed …
No Tragedy, this was planned and executed D E W Fires
Answers? Wow, let’s see… a sprawling, very flammable tourist trap village, dry, very flammable non native vegetation and trees, gale force winds, and a wildfire which grew into a conflagration called a firestorm…
@@seanbrown9048 you feel accomplished? Well done you.
@@speedtrls Lol; I do endeavor to satisfy… happy Monday!
I love how well explained everything was. The reporter asked great follow up questions and the expert's answers were very clear. This is so much more in depth journalism than the national news outlets in America provide.
Yes she did follow-up his questions. The right questions? Not sure.
That town has existed from the 1800s. Many were scratch built with anything they could be built with. It was a very dangerous environment even without hurricane force winds and very dry conditions. Sometimes all the wrong things line up and this happens. Not anybody to blame specifically, but it does happen. Do we learn from this or point fingers? I say learn and maybe help understand how to prevent the possibility in similar situations.
This coming from an almost retired airline captain that has seen many good things come about from people before me that made mistakes and helped us not to make them again.
Unsustainable building practices also contributed. There are alternatives to wood, but you won't see the building trades adjusting without a fight.
These buildings are very old….before all this fire resistant material. Check yourself.
The tone deaf privilege!
White people have caused this by ignoring traditional practices that help prevent such disasters. Not anymore!! ✊🏾
Stop the mono-crops
Stop clearing land for hotels and big corporations
Adopt traditional practices to protect the land.
Save the lifestyles that matter

Praying for you all from Louisville Colorado! We are with you!
Given the completely burned-down situation like this, those who were unable to escape might have been burned to the point where only their bones remained or even turned completely into ashes. Therefore, the search is expected to be challenging.
The issue here is management of said areas I live in Hawaii my boss is from Lāhainā and as a result he and his family lost his family home. The issue here isn't as easy as just saying climate change those hurricane like winds were from a tropical storm the main thing I haven't heard people talk about is how the fire started yes the wind allowed it to spread at a dangerous rate to where it took out a historic town but the cause is part of the issue it. Like the professor said management of the environment is key to preventing the severity of it. California is victim to this because they have so many regulations and different government entities to where you can see proportionally the worse the forest and grasslands are maintained the more severe the fires have been because there's more dead wood and vegetation to fuel these fires. Similarly like she said fires aren't necessarily bad it's when they become uncontrolled is when it's negative and dangerous. Another thing I've noticed is a lot of my friends and people I know are trying to donate but for some strange reason once again the government is getting involved and preventing people donating to anything but government entities which of anything is peculiar. I'm not saying climate change doesn't affect things like this but what I am saying is simply trying to bring up the topic of climate change on a tradegy like this doesn't help anyone especially if the cause of these fires hasn't even been exposed yet.
Kenny, there's a lot of strange and suspicious stuff. I heard residents were told to shelter in place, that empty busses were sent in for tourists but brought no aid. Now the government is preventing donations. The electric lines were powered up rather than emergency shut down. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this whole thing stinks.
Is very heartbreaking and innocent people life were taken.💔
My heart seriously goes out for those poor people! It’s just devastating
Very similar to Paradise CA. in 2017. This was not a natural event.
God bless the families 🙏🏾
Yeah, it's never been hot in Hawaii before WOW.
😂🤣😂 Thanks man, keeping it real 😂
Prayers for Maui my condolences
Failure to turn on the coastal alarm IS THE REASON so many died ⚠ Someone is liable for this.
I believe that the sirens are used for Tidal Waves. I'm thinking that if it did go off, would the siren had just caused confusion and the people would have run away from the water?
The sirens are the Best Built for all Major Events? they just don't work in today's society as if not the highest priorities Strangely.
You might be right. That's a good point.
Your right maybe for tsunami .otherwise people won't jump on water
My community was burned out, brace yourselves fir the days ahead and then pace yourselves, you will rebuild, you will piece by piece rebuild your lives. Takes time but as long as you do not dwell too long in the past but steadily move forward, you'll get through it together. God bless you all
The locals often admonish haoles for not 'getting' what it means to be "on Hawaii time". Hope they can genuinely practice what they preach in coping with this tragedy. It will take every ounce of their patience reserves to endure the years ahead.
big corporations already have big billion dollar development plans after recent rezoning for skyrises there, and locals are won't get insurance money. just wait and see. This was all planned out. Sick but true. You better get together and get truth out. This is not natural fire. Its an attack
I'm heartbroken. I lived in Lahaina many years ago. I am so sorry for the loss of history, and moreso the loss of life.
😢
I am lost, did she really answer how the fire started
Always have abandon amount of water in each home as storage. That is the only way to ensure safety. We can't rely on so called 'sophisticated alarm system' !!
Madam Pele said enough! Lahaina has been desecrating my ancestors. Time to reset, regrow the seeds, stop colonialism.
No... it was arsonists and had zero to do with Pele
This was intentional, and "man" made it happen.. period
@@lvluxdelightproof??
@@Birdbike719 There doesn't always need proof for it to be 100% real. It's called destroying all evidence.
sad to hear that.sincere prayers to u all healing and fast recovery
Prayer for Maui Hawaii 🙏
watch the insurance co. try to get out of paying insurers...they will not claim this as an act of God
no, it's sufficent arrest banks speculation in real estates! Acts of who You don't know aren't for humans stupidity!
You can find the stupid bank in 270 Park Avenue, New York, NY!
That's the first actual Hawaiian I've seen as of yet in these interviews.
The rest has been Haole.
Of course, that doesn't change the devastation of the fire.
Just something wd were noticing.
You are absolutely right, reporters in the US pick and choose who to interview, and they select only white people.
So sorry praying for you all 😢❤ no words can say how your all feeling overwhelmed by seeing this my heart hurts 😢for you all
In 1802, King Kamehameha made Lahaina the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Lahaina served as the center of the Hawaiian government for over 50 years,
Never seen one firetruck.
There's photos of burnt out firetrucks on social media (down to a frame). Also, something like 1/4 to 1/3 of the firefighters lost their homes while trying save the community.
Open your eyes jeez
@Nakameguro97 TY
I know this has gotta be on a lot of channels, but so far, I have only seen this tragedy on this one.
Been heavy on the many Channels covering the Devastating floods happening in China.
And China has another typhoon coming their way.
Some burnt... unsurprisingly
it’s an island, there aren’t many workers. many firefighters like my uncle from Moloka’i had to go to Maui to help. if you never lived island life you can’t full grasp how elusive some of the everyday essentials are compared to living on the continent.
We saw it in Santa Rosa and Paradise.
Who can explain how metal melts from a wildfire of 8-900 degrees C, when this requires at least 1.600 degrees?
Like you see at 3:10.
Wildfires can definitely get about twice as hot as the range you've given.
The hottest temperature I can search reaches 1.200 degrees Celsius.
Below iron melting point.
Do you have other references?
And how about the green trees right next to the pulverized houses?
Why aren't they damaged, do you think?
Youre using metal in the wrong way. Mercury is a metal and it melts at -38,83°C
Edit: thats around -22F
Here in Hawaii..people say wind broke power poles and strings of power lines broke and wires sparked multi fires on rooftops
I am so sorry for all those involved. I wish I could help..
FREE HAWAII. WHITES OUT!
You can donate!
"WE DEFEATED THE WRONG ENEMY!" Now we are paying the price
Who is the true enemy then?
I hate to say this but this is the beginnings of more disasters to happen in this world we must prepare for what's coming just like what happened to paradise Calif in the camp fire where 80 people perish praying for Maui rebuild with more protection fire retardant on homes having fire hydrant in working conditions thos could happen anywhere like in crowded cities and towns
@@wilecatrexy the "International Clique"
Mother Earth is hitting back
@@_Patton_Was_RightThat's very vague. Be clear.
This things happens every year so why is it that authorities haven't done anything about it with the powers there be?
When the rapist is also the rape counselor.
When the child molester is running the orphanage.
When the serial-killer is investigating the serial killings.
You want the authorities to investigate their own crime?
_To put it in context....the fire travelled 20 meters PER SECOND....or 60 feet PER SECOND!!_
Wow, you’re not going to get any sympathy from that woman in Oregon 😏 She laughs and says that this isn’t new. Well, it’s devastating and highest number of fatalities! And she kept saying it will keep on happening without “mitigating” but doesn’t explain how that’s done! Ugh she’s so frustrating to listen to!! Cold heart…
She's not cold. She's simply speaking truth. She's an expert in wildfires in urban environments. She is 100% correct-- and the news guy is tone deaf. Mismanagement of our forests and wild places combined with urban sprawl and putting out every wildfire is what is causing these deadly fires. The news and politicians want to jump on the climate change bandwagon. That's not the cause. Prevention is the key and that means managing the forest floor so you don't give fuel to these fires. Highly flammable invasive Guinea grasses contributed greatly to this horrific fire.
agreed. she was annoying to listen to
I found her comments interesting and very informative
The woman was from Oregon. Not a conservative haven by any stretch. She did not downplay nature's part. She simply stated the facts of human mismanagement. Let's not get upset at a person looking at all sides just because they don't play ball with a globalist agenda.
2016 was Bad also? So she's just a little in a sense of shock!! and, can't admit it but, might later Maybe not ?🤔🙄
Oh, boy. No bias on the part of the news presenter, is there? Yes, climate change played a role, but that isn't the whole story. Hush up and find the facts rather than mouthing the agenda of your betters, sir.
My Husband and I visited Maui in 2017 and fell in love with Lahaina. The loss of life and this historic town is devastating for all of us ☹
I will be praying for relief and for the Federal government to step up and do their job.
Wake up Biden and send help to Maui!!
Love to everyone from australia ❤
I’m on the west coast and am no stranger to fires, but this is unfathomable in such a short amount of time. It was truly like a bomb.
me too i was just saying that
Look up D.E.W.’s
@@pennylainetv
Look up forest fires.
To assume or believe that Maui, with their 80 sirens, didn't have a backup generator/battery for even one of those 80 sirens (that kicks on when the main power goes out) is pure ignorance. These poor people had ZERO warning. WTF is really going on here?
"insert conspiracy theory here"
@@Nick-kb6jd Hey, I call it like I see it. We live in the year 2023 when almost everyone carries an F-ing cellphone. You don't think frantic calls were pouring in and not one mfer could flip on a f-ing siren? 👌
@@NemesisDawn Cellphone service was still functional as the fire was ripping throught town at up to 80 miles per hour? And you know that because?
@@Nick-kb6jd Are you telling me that every cellphone tower on the island was in the district that burned down in the fire? There are no other cell towers anywhere on the island? Is that what you're saying? Are you saying NO ONE called in?
You really believe that? 😂
@@Nick-kb6jd
I'll bow out to your genius. No sense in wasting either of our time debating this. I just find it all too suspicious.
i am so sorry for the human and personal losses for the people of maui. it should not be a political or climate crisis fake news. be a good human a good neighbor. humans are going to help each other dnt expect govt to rescue us. God Bless
