some advice from someone who's been through this ....
1) the insurance company is not your friend
2) research trades people . We had people from all over the country swoop in to make a quick buck .
3) people who's houses survived this tragedy need to go over it with a fine tooth comb ,namely attics and roof damage . The embers from the fire that rolled through my town blew over a half a mile . fridges and freezers will most likely need to be tossed
4) The powers that be will need to consider fire breaks around populated areas .
5) all this of course is secondary to the loss of life . My thoughts are with you folks in this tragic time ... 🙏🙏🙏
One upside is cell towers are down so no calls or texts from them. 🤷🏼♀️
@@Sharyk808 We were evacuated 4 hours away to Edmonton , Alberta ,to a large community centre there . all major insurance companies were there and they were cutting cheques on the spot for 1500.00 a head . anyone who couldn't find a place to crash could stay there where they had hundreds of cots set up . they being the Red Cross . lots stayed in hotels , some in empty dorms and lots of kind strangers putting people up in spare rooms ...The Red Cross was also keeping track of people on file so that officials and loved ones knew who was accounted for and who was not ... I'm not seeing any of that here ...
@@donwarrington4916appreciate your info. Not there but fear fire where we are now. 🙏 Thoughts & prayers to all there.
Here's a clue when the first thing a government official thinks about after a tragedy is acquiring land for the government citizens lose again.

Do not let the state take it over! They will surely f it up. It should be a business improvement district with the private owners agreeing on how to build the next generation of eclectic businesses. Not a homogenous design concocted by bureaucrats. I’ve been going to Maui for nearly four decades. I’ve seen it change over time, but the bones were still there. It will never be the same, but don’t let the state or feds do stupid stuff there.
They better fight that workforce housing. Once they move forward, the island will be destroyed and filled with crime. They will say "it's for teachers, first responders, nurses, etc" that is just their talking point to make people be OK with it.
Private owners have rarely had the welfare of their workers in mind. I think a working partnership of the state and the private businesses with oversight by the community and in the case of galleries, artisan oversight as well.
Private business = Highrise hotels, block after block..😠
DO NOT let the real estate developers take over the town!
While it's great that the state is looking to protect and help rebuild Lahaina, it's a bit concerning to hear of plans to take over the land and redevelop the area as it sees fit. It's also concerning that cadaver dogs are going into toxic and hazardous areas without appropriate safety gear for respiration and footwear. They cited glass, nails, and smoldering materials in the rubble. If these areas are dangerous, working dogs must have appropriate protection. I would think that anything less would be inhumane and immoral.
I was thinking the same . No dog shoes?
😎🇺🇸🙏Please Protect Our Search Dogs 😎🦮❤
Definitely hope that the government in all levels will rebuild and return to the residents and not let greed prevail.
@@user-pe587ui90Government is nothing but GREED. Have you not been paying attention?
@@user-pe587ui90 I hope you are right. But a government with no greed - what a concept!
Unscathed gasoline station at 4:05 amidst all the burned-out buildings sure speaks to the inadequate building codes in Lahaina... A structure that stores and dispenses gasoline was untouched, why?
I hope they are protecting the paws of those dogs !!!
"Already thinking of ways the state can acquire that land so that we can put it into work force housing" -Josh Green.
In other words, you will now have to pay the government for a house that was "given" to you as a replacement for the house that was passed down from generations before you and had no mortgage. Or you can sell the rights to that land to a government entity or BlackRock

Restore not acquire should be the focus.
i think its shameful for governor to publicly announce intentions for state to take hold of the land (as preemptive move) and build some kind of memorial. its inappropriate and premature . for heavens sake -- lets deal with search and recovery to help the families affected -- they have not even begun to search all structures for victims. why is it these politicians always use disasters to campaign for re-election. wtf
He’s rubbing his greedy palms together.
I live out here in Talent, Oregon and we lost 2,600 homes in roughly 5 hours back in 2020, and here we are 3 years later still attempting to rebuild the area. I can't see how Lahaina will ever be rebuilt, the idea that everything has to come in by ship is just unimaginable, and where does everybody work and live when the area is being rebuilt? Good luck to all of you, and I am sorry for your loss.
Wow I didn't know that many homes burned in Oregon. Thats insane.
Ah, all ready for building a 15 minute city.
the difference is that Talent doesn't have 2 million tourists per year. so the billions of dollars Front street can produce will see it rebuilt fairly quickly.
also, very sorry that happened to you in Talent. I grew up near Portland. best wishes to you.
Locals are saying towns next to Lahaina are untouched and they are requesting supplies because the southern road has been blocked off and people are trying to use the north road to get supplies in. Anything north of the interstate in Lahaina is also untouched.......One resident further to the west said her town has many holiday homes in it and are asking families who own the homes if they can rent them out to families who are now displaced........I don't think they are going to worry about rebuilding yet until they locate all the bodies.......89 bodies now......1000 missing although many people might turn up in the next town.
My girlfriend's brother lost his home, and she lost a townhouse she owned. I have pictures of what's left of the area taken a couple weeks after. Those fires were unbelievable. When the fires were happening, I couldn't contact her for several days, and there were reports that places in her neighborhood I knew were burning down, luckily those were wrong.
Beyond heartbreaking. We have two nephews and their families there. We know they are safe but unable to contact them. Praying for all the residents .
DO NOT make it a memorial. Those survivors need their land cleared and their houses rebuilt. They NEED THEIR HOME BACK.
And that's not going to happen.
This was intentional.
Building a Etonian city on Sacred Hawaiian land is not honoring the Lives that were lost and the cultural history of Maui. It’s just comes down to Greed and Profiteering.
The smells must be horrific.
I'm a burn survivor and I cried when this fire took off . Death is very sad but to live through being severely burned is horrific too. I hope these who passed away did so from the smoke. I have no words that can comfort these people only life is precious value the living and honor the dead.
Hawaii is very expensive. I would rather live in a cheap $50k house in a safe area rather than to live in a $750k house in a area prone to natural disasters.
Maybe it will fall in value now
There are also areas with earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, blizzards....
Truth here. There are still plenty of places on the mainland with decent weather where you can get an acre or three with a small house on it for like $100k.

He seems mostly concerned about the state being able to take the land. Gotta love a politician that wants the state to own everything and rule over you. As they say, never let a crisis go to waste, don’t pass up the opportunity to grab more power.
Bingo!
Never let a crisis go to waste. This is the communist/fascist globalist agenda. Their manuals are the communist manifesto and Mein Kampf.
Drooling over those developers' bribes.
Habitats for the residents first - so many Hawaiians have been dislocated by economics and now this fire takes a horrific blow to local livelihoods. I pray for the ohanas that have lost lives, loved ones, homes, pets. It’s horrific. May there be rapid-response solutions that benefit long-time Hawaiian residents first and put these people in homes fast.
Maybe the elite wealthy living there can donate to the build, bless those who have passed. I love this island so much, beautiful people of maui keep positive
Yes. The people first!
Over a week late and my heart still hurts so much for the island of Maui. Having been there personally and witnessed all of this in person, I have no words for those that have been lost and everything that has been lost

The best thing the government can do for the victims of the Lahaina fire is assist in the rebuilding of Lahaina. Transforming Front Street into some kind of solemn memorial is not recovery.
Cant do that.
Joe has illegal migrants to buy imean care for and billions to Ukrain, Jordan, Iraq and a dozen other foreign interests.
Joe and his handlers have priorities and domestics are not that.
I agree 💯
The destruction is strange I saw a power transformer untouched and petrol station nearly untouched yet fire hot enough to melt alumium. That's 1200 degrees. Boats 50 metres out in harbor destroyed that doesn't make sense when buildings next to each other one escapes. It looks more like the fire was influenced by something so random a saw yesterday a children's plastic playground structure untouched next to homes destroyed weird.
There are steel parts almost burned through. That's 2500 degrees.

@@sunnywynn56 So you accept the warmth of fire on a cold night, but too much fire is bad. There is a certain AMOUNT of fire that God is supposed to just step in and miraculously prevent. What is that level exactly? A fire killing dozens perhaps, sure. What about a fire killing ten? One? A broken arm? Headache? Hangnail? There is no right answer. Your statement is juvenile.

@@monkeybusines77 I live in FLorida and my island was ground zero for hurricane Ian. Guess what town council is planning....."Work force housing" at every church and buying 2+ acres to build a work force housing compound. The island I live on is only 6 miles long. It is only 3 miles to get off the island on either end. So it's not like employees have far to go for affordable housing.....this is happening all over the country.
the rich are getting ready for a land grab
@@HulaShack1 Yep. Anyone that thinks this was a random fire isn’t paying attention. Bet the Ritz Carlton and friends already has plans drawn up for a resort or $10 million condos. just like they are doing here in SWFL.
the governor said so that >foreign investors< don't come in and buy it up. would u rather the state of Hawaii buy it or "foreign investors" ... other countries? I admit, that surprised me too. The fire burned the buildings but the land still belongs to the owners... what did he really mean?
My heart goes out to all the survivors of Lahaina😢. Stay strong during these emotion filled journeys to old neighborhoods. Prayers for all residents of Maui, all the loved ones who were lost in this tragedy, the survivors and all animals who lost their lives or were injuried,, displaced or lost. God bless you all and the people who are there to support survivors.
Looking at the Banyan Tree in the sunlight that bright, to me it looks good. Even though the leaves are burnt, but the trunks are okay. Cause Banyans have 4-5 layers of protection, and there’s no oil in it. Like a pine and a maple, they have oil from saps and sugars. That’s when trees are flammable. Also thanks to the 46 limbs supporting it to stand and glad there’s no grass. Otherwise it will lead to the roots and burn. So we still can help it. Just give it 4,000 gallons of water and a little fertilizer. Just not too much fertilizer. Or the tree will burn for real. So let’s go Maui! We have a tree to save. Do it for Lahaina! Cause that tree’s the heart of Lahaina. 1:53 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
i agree, the Banyan looks like it will live on to provide shade and a public bathroom for the local tweakers
Nothing can outrun a wind driven fire.

So true.
@@scarolinispicks4073exactly. Napalm-like burned and charred bodies and buildings and cars. I am almost positive that medical professionals who are experienced in burn trauma can see that this was possibly not your typical fire or your typical burned bodies. Hopefully those with this intelligence will open up and wave the truth. And I would love to know if professionals will use their science and professionalism to study up and be able to inform us that the burned ground, bodies, vegetation etc etc was not the result of just an "ordinary wildfire". Basically whistleblower investigators need to come forward with their findings. This is important. Not as important as the lives of island folk lost and the confusion but important none the less.

Typical Democrat politician Pavlovian response to any opportunity to take private property, because they know better than the property owners.

@@AF-ib8ec Yes -
I saw the local press conference, all I heard was lies after lies and after lies. Astounding.
When we had the devastating fires in Nova Scotia, the summer, residents were not allowed back to the area because they were still looking for missing people. However, authorities went in and took a video for the residence affected and then met with them individually so they could see whether their homes were still standing or not. It was weeks before they were allowed to go back, but there was also government federal and provincial resources to assist them. They were never allowed to go willy-nilly back to the affected areas until every spot was cleared, which took several weeks. Not letting people access until the first responders, and the forensics were able to canvas the area, which again. Took several weeks, it also prevented looting, etc. etc. Thoughts and prayers to your island
Seems a bit too convenient, since Green has been pushing the WEF agenda with his climate change bs, and the upcoming Hawai'i Digital Government Summit next month. WEF names Maui to be one of their smart cities YEARS ago, also very coincidental that most (maybe all) the celebrities on the Island are WEF goons. I don't know why Kanaka keep turning the other way. Not only is culture and language going to be gone, but look on their website, they want to take away our humanity, it's on their videos and websites, I am tired of being called crazy, it's right there, they talk about it. They want to control reproduction, take away gender, what is it their commercial said?"you'll own nothing and be happy".
Well there are no homes standing essentially 🫤. Even if they are they’ll still have to be knocked down and rebuilt because of the fire and smoke damage
Looting of what? There is nothing left.

I live in the Oakland fire neighborhood and grew up here now fairly old. Things there are progressing at same pace as us. We made memorial tiles and put them on a wall. We and Paradise lost quite a few people and pets too all very sad in addition to the stuff and buildings but stuff and buildings can be replaced. Fema helped with clean up and clearing property insurance companies helped with temporary housing during rebuilding and local business owners gave us a break on replacing furniture. Property owners were allowed to rebuild some with a house that was a copy of the original one person came by with a old photo of my friend's house so she used it for the architect to draw a plan like the original home (of course with up grades ) . One problem we ran into in the area is the sewer line and storm drains were wrecked by the fire heat so they had to be redone even in the areas nearby the fire that didn't burn. All this started within the year . The rebuilding took 2 to3 years. Today new people wouldn't know the fire was there. I think it is best to let the locals and property owners rebuild as it was before because it gives people hope and joy to see life go on and tradition to continue. I don't like the suggestion of building condos or low cost housing there. A memorial plaque and park would be appropriate my family also has connections to Paradise where my grandpa built a cabin (:it burned) and Santa Rosa both places rebuilt homes and businesses as before. .
I also live in Oakland. I well remember how frightened we were when we couldn't find our college age daughter. She was ok, but it was a scary time. Our hearts go out to Lahaina. Not only are there those who lost everything including family members & beloved pets, but the amazing artisans that lost all their pieces in Front St. galleries. I particularly mourn for Sam Ka'ai, who at 85 has just seen his lifetime collection of sculpture including his handmade replicas of tools and war implements from before contact. He use his carvings to educate about Hawaiian history and what made it possible to settle & thrive on these islands.
Thank the government and major corporations for this absolutely devastating fire and loss of life. Weather manipulation and D.E.W. work wonders as we’ve seen the past few years with all of these crazy “wildfires” all over the earth, especially in western countries. My heart goes out to all in Lahaina and their loved ones, may they find peace during this catastrophe. 💜💜💜

I used to live there in 2004-2007. Mom was in Magalia 20 years. She left in 2016. I will forever love Paradise. I has a space at Attic Treasures!
The incinerator that was the Paradise fire was anything but camp related.
Basically a gigantic blow torch that started in the hills where massive gouges were eerily left in the ground.
Something was dropped from the sky. Don't know what it was, but the people in its direct line were incinerated. Not a normal "wild/camp fire."
I hope everyone had insurance so they can get something! I hope the State will take it - imminent domain. That would be a good thing.
@@DavidTMSN The way I know you're wrong is I was literally there. It was a wind driven fire through a forest of logging scratch, manzanita, and scotch broom. You don't need napalm when you got that.
We had a similar wind driven fire here in Colorado two years ago in Boulder County......absolutely devastating.
I was at a construction site in Longmont looking south at the fire. We didn't work that day, we just stood there and stared south at the smoke plumes and then went home at lunch.
Our hearts are broken for you. I live in Alberta and thought I knew what devastating effects wildfires could have. I was wrong. My heart is broken for you, and I know that we are all here to support you, just ask, the world loves you.

I see this from a different angle sorry for my point of view - Lahaina was the only place in Maui controlled by a community and not by a "big resorts" , yes the place of Lahaina was not up to-date was mostly old and not well care, but it was historical (not much besides the 3 buildings and the banyan tree ) and cozy , watch what will happen now , all that land will be bought by a big corporation and they will build new buildings new gates and will no longer be part of community like the rest of the Maui. you can blame "wildfire" for that...

Coffey Park residential area in Santa Rosa. Blocks of streets in the north part of town wiped out. The Fountain area in the hills (upscale houses) had most of that neighborhood burned to the ground. I recall one photo showing a flame out of a metal pipe (the gas line) still lit on one of the Fountain homes. They didn't turn off the natural gas to the area?
Good advice. I hope Nikki and the Governor read this.
From your comment I looked up the Tubbs fire. They saw an uptick in respiratory and cardiac vists to the ER 3 months after the fires. It is a fact that fine particulates in the air causes respiratory illness or death and heart attacks or strokes. Studies in heavily polluted air in India comfirms this.

Sounds like the mayor, in regards to the land and buildings to come, is going to focus on the people living in Hawaii and not foreign investors or other large investors going forward. Hope he keeps his word.

Nobody is questioning these images?, how is it possible that car windows are missing? Do you know what kind of temperature is need it to disintegrate glass from car windows? Not the temperature from your typical fire. This damage was man made. It’s called plasma fire. They did it. Open your eyes! Period.
P.S. very “strange” how there’s cero cellphone videos uploaded by civilians on RUclips, don’t you think?
The assemblies that move the windows up and down contain a lot of plastic.
We are praying for you 💕🙏 Visited your Lahaina in 1968 and 69. Last time was 1989. I know you are all strong but we are praying that God gives you the strength to carry on 💕🙏 Still Lahaina no ka oi because you are there and have the memories of Lahaina town to pass down. Help is coming from all over the world 💖 🤙
This is devastating 😢 how was there no advance warning. Truly heartbreaking 💔 God be with the families
Burned a foot a second. How do you warn against that?
Maui FD has never seen a fire like this. They were totally caught by surprise. They don't have massive fires there every year like Colorado and California.
I'm from the New Mexico burn scar area and we almost lost our town too but they saved it. I know how devastating these fires can be. It's been a year and a half and all they are doing in the New Mexico burn scar area is cutting down trees. Bridges have been washed out from the flashfloods after the fire, campgrounds are closed, we can't even get in the Calf Canyon area yet. There are miles and miles of nothing but black tall sticks that use to be trees and the government admits to setting the control burns that burned our area. Our area will never be the same again. 4 people died here.
The Hawaiian people believes that the government did it on purpose and didn’t fight hard enough to control it to save Lahaina.
And they are saying that now the government will take over the land to sell to millionaire investors and companies to build expensive resorts and stores.
Only God knows.
Weather manipulation backfiring😢😢😢😢
First thing he wants to do is take private property. Pure evil
Of course. BlackRock can put up some fine condominiums on that land!
As PURE as it gets...
First truthful thing he's said while in office.
Globalist 🐷
We fought the wrong people, now we pay the price
Lahaina has meant so
much to me and my family. We have given what we can to the Red Cross, and we hope that all who can will try in some way to help people right now who are still looking for loved ones, and in need of everything. Love and respect to all on the Island of Maui.
Meant mai tais and lobster pot stickers and over-priced whale themed jewelry? go away.
@jerrym.762 Probably because white people shouldn't even be there on those islands...
The red Cross is a scam remember when they exposed themselves during hurricane Harvey??
In future, do not donate to the Red Cross. Majority off it funds the top execs.
Prayers for all those who lost everything, especially loved ones. Something is not right with the ferocity and destruction of this fire, seems unnatural, especially for boats to catch fire out in the water.
I believe that the ferocity of this fire were the strong winds caused by hurricane Dora. It is sad and heartbreaking 💔 Our prayers for the island of Hawaii and its' people. 🙏🏻
P.S. your name brought to mind an old song which I loved "The All American Boy" by Bobby Bare
Wind.
DEW’s.
The winds were 80 mph, everything was dry from drought, embers were flying. The absolutel worst case scenario. It would have been better if the hurricane had actually pounded the Island with much needed rain. Instead dry wind was sent to them. Terrible natural disaster, everything was horribly stacked against them. The place lived up to it's name, cruel sun/son.
@@coleengoodell7523 Control burns really work. It slowly burns the rubbish. CONTROL.
I hope y'all will do some deep questioning regarding this fire. My prayers go out to this community. I lost my home in the 2018 fires. I know how it feels.
All the public officials responsible will have some sort of professional indemnity...They'll be teflon-coated when it comes to who is to blame....
After the pain passes? The pain will never pass. Grief is life-long. These families are devastated.
*And yet there are still people who insist that, along with all other similar instances, this isn't anything out of the ordinary.*
S F fire turn of the century many more before that that.
some guy on another channel said they have 400+ body bags ready in town just in case ...my guess, it will go above that ..how could it not ....many of the cars in the city are still parked there melted to the ground ....not everybody was able or willing to walk out
We are in World War III, my friend. Make no mistake about it, and continue to open your eyes to be wise and cautious regarding decisions at this time.
lol. when in recorded history have there not been catastrophic wildfires when large amounts of people live near flammable areas? a wildfire in Wisconsin killed over 2,000 people in the 1870's. read a history book every once in a while.
@@MisterHoodrich89 ---*These conflagrations are occurring with added frequency and ferocity. Along with more severe hurricanes, insurance companies are abandoning Florida and California. Glaciers are melting, mass human migrations are occurring due to a changing climate, a sixth mass extinction is in process. The scientific consensus is that the primary driver is the activities of man. Take your head out of the sand and read more than just a history book every once in awhile.*
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤❤So so sad for everyone who has lost people, pets, homes,businesses -God be with you all! Vacationed there in 91 one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been😢
A loss beyond words and that would be human life. May the families and loved ones find peace.
Maui has been a ticking time bomb for a while. Total seclusion, hurricanes, brush fires and wooden structures.
new 5G Verizon towers are suspect, they blew up immediately once those winds hit 40mph.
And ovrrconfidence. Those people drive out newcomers. The false humility is unbearable.
I am revolted and don't understand why people are being allowed to wander around when they haven't searched for remains yet. I get people who want to see if their homes are gone, but they could watch a video feed until the area is searched for victims. Why was this reporter even there? God Bless gentle Hawaii.
Gentle? Lol
Gentle people. I edited it for you, Precious. @@robbieogle8622
If you think this was a forest fire you are in for a huge shock
yeppers
he wants to steal their property
So heartwarming to hear the birds singing in the background
So good to hear the governor talk about keeping the land safe from predatory land grabbers. It should be a place to honor the past, those that died, and something to honor the resilient Hawaiian people and their beautiful culture and land. Big love to all from the Mainland.
The government is the institution everyone should be concerned about. Only a fool would trust government.
The challenge will be "land grabbers" from NON foreign interests . . .
Listen to what Governor said, "The state WILL take it! WTH...
I would hope that nothing is allowed to be built/rebuilt within 300 yards of distance from the beach. To allow for a park area in between the beach & city. Any structure needed within the 300 yards, should only be built below the terrain surface. The marina should be placed Inland. The old buildings are gone, now there's an opportunity to recreate the coastline of the city back into the Hawaii paradise it was before humans covered the beach in concrete & asphalt.
Condolences to all in Hawaii and especially Maui . I love Hawaii so so much , hurts to watch what happened to Maui .
Reporter in bare feet because glass got in her, presumably fancy, open-toed, basically just sandals. The vain, lunacy of wearing nothing like actual shoes or boots to protect your feet from cuts and infection.
I hope they rebuild to recreate exactly the way it was.
After WWII, Warsaw, Poland - which had been leveled - was completely rebuilt using photos of the way it had been before the war.
That'll never happen, these days. It'll look like every other modern town with ugly buildings and zero personality.
Wishful thinking -
Paris did the same. I think Maui should do what Maui wants to do. There are some very real geographical limits they will need to consider, and hopefully consideration of preventing a repeat, but yeah. They are intelligent people and capable rebuilding to suit themselves. Not outsiders, not tourists.
@@jackieknits61 You do realize that the entire area of Lahaina are outsiders, right? They're all rich millionaire white liberals... they ain't Natives.
Reinforced concrete painted like wood?
Why would the governor say that? If it's privately owned it should stay that way. What gives him the right to say the state should acquire the land? People can say whatever they want about conspiracy theory. But he just said it straight up that they wanna take the land that doesn't belong to them. Stay strong maui. Don't let that troll take your land
Around 4.08 in the reel you see a gas station.... strange how the fire stopped just opposite? Something isn't quite normal here......
That wall protected it.
This is so hard to swallow this. Deepest condolences
It looks exactly like all those images we've seen from Iraq, Afghanistan, and the combat films of WWII. Utter, complete destruction. I don't think I'd be able to stay there.
Just shows you that material things will pass away but the spirit lives on.
God bless Maui Island 🙏🙏🙏 for LAHAINA 💔🌺
The Gov made some important points about the future. Expanding on his ideas: The State could use imminent domain to acquire the entire burned area, paying owners market value,; clear the destruction (contains toxic waste); working with displaced and other people of interest, determine what and how to rebuild (homes, esorts, employee housing, etc) . A large memorial park would not generate enough income. Sell or lease approved development rights to a specified population. As the Gov alluded, if not controlled, wealthy from around the world will buy the land and change this town forever, and not for the better. At 27 April I walked the water front and feel in love with the historic district. This is heart-braking.
Directed - Energy Weapon laser atta(k eliminated by incineration, many Lahaina land owners and their children. Governor Josh Green NEEDED this “natural, climate change caused” disaster. .
How the hell does fire spread across water and destroy boats 50 yards out? Something is not right here.
it's called burning debris blown by high winds
don't be stupid!
The wind was blowing 80 mph. Embers and things on fire was blowing out to sea.
when you sit around a campfire, do you sit 1 foot away, or 4-6 feet away? now imagine a fire the size of half a mountain. how far away do you think you gotta be?
How close have you ever been to a burning house? I've stood next to one burning house, and the heat is NUTS. Now take hundreds of them and add hurricane force winds...
@kgs_7186, Directed energy weapons (DEW’s)...this area was targeted. Beyond evil.
Did anyone else hear that??? "Don't CHINA our HAWAII" This is tragic, but the fear of a overseas take over is so real to these people, it's literally one of the first things they are concerned about.
Can American's buy land in China? Maybe we should use their policy too.
Great statement; preventing people from overseas from coming in and buying! The entire country should operate this way!
lies.....
Did he say state to acquire the land as an option?
Green’s declared land grab plan. July 17 : “ We’re waiving some of the restrictions on the amount of LAND that historically was allowed for building,… ‘Cause WE just want to get going !”.
odd. looks like the valley town of paradise Cal.... but not quite as many trees, ground foliage or pine needles 2 ft deep... ummm... ok...
D ew
It should be illegal from people from other countries to own land in the US. The man at the end was afraid that people from other countries would try to buy up the land, but he said that the state has already put in to process acquiring it.
Let Hawaiian natives buy it.
@@LilyGazou true they should always have first pick
Take care of the dogs. God help you all. Take time to pray.
It'll never be a "magical" place again Governor... they're finding human remains everywhere. How can that be "magical"..ugh
pele' is fire
if you knew how many dead souls are all around the islands, you wouldnt think they are magical. almost a million natives dead from disease, scores dead from drownings and accidents, thousands more from human violence....Hawaiii is probably about as haunted as it gets, lots of negative energy making people act crazy there
@@wevegraysquaw7855, what is pele? I keep seeing that name.
@@monicamontano7343 Madame Pele is the Hawaiian volcano deity! In Hawaii, Pele is the goddess of volcano & fire and the creator of these volcanic landscapes.
Places like this that have unfortunately been lost in an absolute unbelievable disaster SHOULD be 100% helped by the government in whatever can’t be built through insurance claims. Such an historic place. Much love and Aloha to all in lahaina that has lost so much. Your big island neighbors 🙏🏼🤙🏼💪🏼
The historical significance of Lahaina was the only thing standing in their way from building their "smart" city. This was purposeful
No. Our tax dollars are being used by Dems and Repubs to war pig it up around the planet. It’s not for our countrymen.
(You’re right.) 100%
