This looks like the town of Paradise in Northern California, a few years ago. Dozens of people were lost there too.

@@hotrox2112 Yep. They sure dew. 😉
What amazes me is how some areas have total devastation with a random house that looks perfectly fine right in the middle of it.
Ding , ding....
Building codes play a huge role in that.
Is that the house that had modern, to code building standards? that house....
DEW- direct energy weapon?
@@patrisio3 'For some reason'... and what reason might that be?
And now to add insult to injury, the local building authorities won't let the residents rebuild the way it was. It will be much, MUCH more expensive. They will insist upon modern codes and "green" construction, adding so much to the cost of re-building that insurance will refuse to pay it all. Lifelong residents will be economically displaced.
So the “elites can live there
They voted that crap in so they can deal with the consequences.
No, they’ll want to rebuild to better withstand fires. Why would you rebuild otherwise? It’ll just happen again
They will take all the land and you have to get out! That’s the point
I don't recall fires like this prior to Paradise, CA. and now Lahaina...🤔☹️
Well then they must never have happened.
Strange that many trees are still standing untouched by fire
Same sight as Californian fire a few years ago
very strange indeed 🧐
It’s not strange at all
thats how you know DEW - Directed Energy Weapons have been used
DEW YOU THINK MORE FIRES WILL HAPPEN THIS YEAR?
D.E.W
DEW you think you will take off your tin foil hat this year?
@@mmadchef808 mountain DEW recently came out with a drink called maui burst.... look it up... mountain DEW code red came out before the cali fires... lot of interesting tin foil to wear.
@@mmadchef808 aliens are real now, so yes!!
We all can see!
DEW...
How is it that the Buildings are burnt to the ground, but not the Trees?
They were above the fire that was mostly low in the flat grasslands. The winds kept it moving quickly and also played a part in directing the heat and cinders.
Exactly my thoughts.
Somethings not right....??
@@michaelobrien1779 What do you think happened? Magic fire? People went around carefully burning the houses while avoiding the trees?
Or might it have something to do with living trees being full or water?
Living trees have water in them. Dead, old boards don't.
@@jaybleu6169I'm going with magic fire, I think you're onto something 😂
Prayers for ALL
God be with you All
Seems weird there are so many green spots of grass,and more not burned up Trees ,than burned Trees.
Reminds me of overhead view of the Paradise California fires
💯‼️
"Wildfires" where the houses get pulverized to dust, but the vegetation is still there and still green in some cases. Very interesting.
Mountain.. DEW.
Yes, thank you for saying what others are afraid to say...they are going to great lengths to try to convince us of another narritive...you don't have to be a fireman to see the obvious...All things hidden will be revealed...All things secret will be disclosed. " For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open."
Luke 8:17
My thoughts, exactly. Glad I'm not the only one that noticed.......
Healthy trees are full of water. They take a while to ignite. If the fire moves through fast enough they never combust. Buildings are full of stuff just waiting for an excuse to burn. I once saw a neighbor's house burn to the ground and yet every tree surrounding it survived with some minor scorching.
HAARP. DEW. THIRDphaseofthemoon has footage of a sandstorm preceding the 85 mph hurricane
DEW'd where's my town
For sure
This catastrophic destruction should be investigated thoroughly.
@jemteebee556 I noticed too in this clip and other clips the odd building that survived in amongst the rubble. Why is this in your estimation? Any why would anyone start these fires deliberately?
Literally an easy target for this type of weapon
@@jemteebee556 I have my suspicions too. DEW is being deployed all over the planet to push this climate agenda.
@@patrisio3 No. Fires do NOT act like that. A lot of people have suspicions about the California fires too.
@@ThreeRunHomer ...and NPCs like you believe everything they tell you to think on the tv.
I hope you're topping up your booster jabs as we speak.
Here in Spain a lot of forest fires have been demonstrated to have been provoked by large corporations for a variety of reasons. One of them being to push the climate change narrative.
Truly tragic. I remember Lahaina in its prime, brimming with life and vitality, rich with history. Now muddy ruins. The devastation is difficult to process. My thoughts and prayers for all those affected.
Very reminiscent of the footage from Paradise California after the Camp Fire!
Why is NO ONE asking How? And Why DID this Happen. Come On PPL, Are We That Stupid? Makes Me Wonder How We Think.
Exactly. One house @1:22 is completely unaffected, yet the houses to either side look like they were nuked to the ground.
Looks like another case of D.E.W- direct energy weapon to push this climate agenda.
It's called fire. Google it.
@@pwilki8631 She won't with her tin foil hat on.
was there in june '23, had a marvelous time photographing beautiful, vibrant and colorful Lahaina, seriously gutted by all of this, the people who own and work those business, i still remember them. Interacting with them , seemed like meaningless interactions but they werent, they were so damn friendly to me and family,,, I am worried for them. Love you Maui
Something is not right. This is not natural
…said the expert in fire science 🤪
Thought that at first.....🤔.......however, 60 to 80 mph winds and fire 🔥 driven by offshore hurricane 🌀 pushing winds down the mountain ⛰️ east into town. Maui actually has dry vegetation, pines in upper elevation.....no fire support....not like California Air Show, or ground pounders......LA County has a massive Dozer D 9 for this . In inaccessible areas they have smokejumpers......however winds at that speed, probably wouldn't matter.
Kep asking questions friend..
Im with you.
@@michaelobrien1779 Maybe it was space aliens who did it. Could they have come from Uranus?
Seriously? This has happened before in Lahaina. 2018 Hurricane Lane didn’t bring rain, it brought wind for 24hrs to Lahaina. but it was in a place where there were no homes before it hit mansions that were spaced farther apart, then headed to the Hawaiian homes. It didn’t get as far before the fire department contained it BECAUSE the rest of the island had rain from the hurricane and there were no other fires. Just west side. THIS Lahaina fire is not the only one burning on Maui. There are three and all of them have burned homes. Fire department is spread all over the place.
I've been to Maui and Lahaina many times. I've walked the streets and through all the little shops. This just makes me really sad for all who live there. I know how beautiful it was before and was always jealous of how beautiful it was. I hope it comes back to its previous state soon. Much love to the Hawaiian people.
How does this happen? Thanks for not putting music to it.
Arson obviously
Extremely dry conditions, for months, coupled with 40-50 MPH winds from passing Hurricane Dora. Power lines and trees went down all over the island. This was only 1 of 4-5 wildfires on Maui sparked that day.
@@morecowbell69 ...and Lani, Molokai just 30 miles away, how did the hurricane affect them....anybody checked in on them yet.
Reported earlier that it had a radius of 100 miles?
We're at war with advanced technological powers.
Signature of 0:37 DIrected Energy Weapons
Was just there one month ago. What a tragedy. One of the saddest and most horrific things I have seen. I hope the town of Lahaina and island of Maui recover quickly.
it will take 5/6 yrs of very hard work by all, all tourists business is gone
I was there one month before you, I can hardly believe what's before my eyes now compared to the lively beautiful town I visited. So tragic
Weeks to clean up, months to rebuild and presto Bar is Open for Business.
Think positive vibes
Was there three years ago, and we still talk about the park in downtown with the one tree that has grown into hundreds of the same tree and it takes up the whole block. Been growing for hundreds and hundreds of years. You can walk under its canopy and be mesmerized by the trees beauty. Now like everything else, burnt to ashes.
Gutted for the people in Maui. 😩
I was there in March on the pier used some of these spots as shade went whale watching with the family it's so surreal feel so bad for all the businesses and families.
DEW. Directed Energy Weapons
wow all the houses destroyed ... and all the trees still standing 🤔 do i smell fish ? directed energy weapon ?
Yes, you do!
Napa California a few years back.....melted cars....DeadGiveaway
Wide awake you are!
@@michaeltabanao8092Yeah like gasoline doesn’t burn nor does lithium. A lot of electric cars here. You guys are trying way too hard. 😂
It’s not fish it’s your okole.
I’d like to know just what kind of weapon was used to pulverize brick buildings. This kind of fire must just be able to walk all the way to the seashore. Where are the trees that caught on fire, they’re saying oh there’s oil and other things that are explosive that are laying around in the ground that caught on fire. They must really think human beings are dumb because it’s quite clear. They have some sort of horrific weapon that they can just shoot out and call it wildfires that pulverize brick buildings, bathtubs, sinks, appliances, even toilets.
It's called a D.E.W. Heaven
Is it me or does it look as if D.E.W. has destroyed the entire island 🏝️.......yet tress are untouched again.
R.I. P. 😢to everyone who lost their lives. My heart 💔 breaks from Texas.
That's not right,.
That's a weapon.. it's not a normal fire and it's being used all over the world
Look at all the Bushy Trees still standing next to Vaporized Structures.
It's like Nature's way of saying "Look stupid humans. I know how to survive fire. Learn from me or keep building the same and getting the same results "
I will never think of wildfires the same way again. I always thought distance from the wild brush protected me. There are hundreds of burned out cars in Lahaina literally ten feet from the shoreline.
So crazy. Even more crazy the house at 1:20 - seemingly undamaged where everything around it is wiped out.
Makes you think. I wonder why some things were not burned?
Lived in Honolulu for four years and traveled to Maui with my young children frequently to visit relatives. Strolled through Lahaina, ate at the restaurants and had picnics under the giant Banyan tree there. The pictures I have are now bittersweet, but truly treasured. Bless you all in your time of grieving and ultimate recovery! Aloha from Los Angeles…
Tysm for posting this.
What caused the fire? I’ve been here. In 1984 it was gorgeous
Keep asking questions...
There are MANY questions that need asking. My heart is with Maui.
The last time I was told it was Wild Fires it turned out to be "Directed Energy Weapons". Does Paradise California Ring A Bell ?
This is just so hard to take in. My heart goes out to all the people living there - and even the tourists. So much loss of life and homes and businesses. I would never believe this could happen there!
Dah….what are the Islands comprised of ??? Think hard…..it’ll come to you….VOLCANO’s
Some active as we have seen in previous years causing incredible destruction while others dormant yet to explode so many of these residents still believe the GOD of Rah Vol Ca No protects them….
Seems to be hapoening alot?
@@perryweeks9577 hurricane level winds knocking over powerlines sparking fires in areas with low humidity? can't say it is, no.
In all the videos I watched not one firetruck????
Wondering the same. No footage of anyone fighting the fires. Strange.
From watching the news the last two days, there was another fire in the Kula area and must fire resources were devoted to that issue. But you have to understand that there is just not the same resources available on these Islands. It doesn't mean they lack training, skills or equipment. But unless you live in the open spaces of the Mid-West, you likely have several close-by cities that could assist your local FD in an emergency. But when you factor in the extremely high (and very rare) winds then all bets are off. There have been several similar fires in CA that were affected by strong winds.
People really need to get educated on what public services can and cannot do. Please protect yourself and your family by preparing for natural disasters. The Red Cross can only do so much, and the Govt: only a fool depends on them for help.
No lie. Reminds me of hurricane Andrew....the totality of destruction is beyond sad...
I was thinking the same thing, I live on Maui but in the Mid nineties I was in Florida. It was shocking too see that destruction. This reminds me of Andrew, block after block gone as far as the eyes can see. A town of 13000 residents literally gone.
They will rebuild and rise from the ashes! ❤
Hopefully not with wood
our prayers go out to the people of Hawaii🙏
No one has still not said yet how this fire got started . Why is that question not being ask . 😢
Was just there a week ago… made such amazing memories. Incredibly sad to see this. I am so sorry for the people dealing with this tragedy 🙏
@@SeaShepherd23people have been living on those beautiful island for millennia. I am one of them. You obviously never been there as you have no idea the impact this has had. Hundreds of years of history is gone in one night. Lots of homes, work, and even the schools burned down. Lives and livelihoods lost.

@jerrymylove1754 doesn't looks so beautiful. Looks like a massive bbq. Anyway you should move to a real place and be a more productive person for society. These islands don't really produce anything of use. Now if you lived in Iowa and grew corn that would be awesome
why was Lahaina set on fire? this was deliberate through energy weapons. There are videos
Hey, SaveMart has tin foil on sale this week - you need some more ya dingbat.
Link ? Mahalo. I like to know what happened to my town. 😮
Just stop. Freakin ridiculous.
would love a link, been hard go find, only MS news available... it ain't natural.
Where were the choppers when they were needed and why couldn't they have dumped sea water on the fire?
this is not normal...napa valley had the same incident years back...and some corporations from overseas purchased the land very cheap...
Unfortunately....big developers will buy the land, huge resorts and condos
Well yes, that’s already happening in Ukraine. There’s ads on RUclips right now. “Invest in Ukraine.” If you notice on the end of this video, for now at least…the large resort just north of Lahaina looks unscathed. Telling.
@@donniepirelli4668Obviously you have never been to Hawaii and you are trying to support your notion of some conspiracy theory about a place you know nothing about. The wind comes from the top of mountains and is funneled through the valleys at an accelerated rate which is most likely what happened. Stop trying to find a freakin conspiracy theory for everything that happens.
What started this fire?
thank you for the video. very sad.
Unbelievable! May the blessings be for those that experienced this terror
This, as an Australian who has not yet visited Hawaii, is truly tragic. We are no strangers to bushfires (wildfires) and my heart goes out to everyone affected.
If you are sincere offer money, food and other essentials.
@@yvonneplant9434 You wrote: "If you are sincere offer money, food and other essentials."
Not everyone is able to help for many reasons, and I'm pretty sure you haven't done anything to help, either.
Does anyone have a logical explanation for what I'm seeing @ 1:22 .... how are both houses to the left and right nothing but rumble/ash and the one in the middle and behind it are completely unaffected?
@@LannyOne1 She's just virtue signalling. It's a disease morally superior (only in their own minds) idiots suffer from.
@@PB22559 The house looks pretty new and is made of bricks, not wood (see for yourself on street view). Add a little bit of luck and it might be just enough for your house to survive
Paradise lost, I feel truly bleak seeing what destruction has been done to one of the greatest places that ever existed on this earth
😞
There is no length that the controllers will not go in proving its power while depleting humanity and its surrounding beauty all in spite....
@hotrox2150 you shouldn't think that way, this would have been prevented if it was possible. Praise all Hawaiian people, their spirit , their love for the 🌎 around them. Their Aloha spirit will live forever.
Truly unbelievable God bless
So sad for everyone's loss of loved ones including pets and the beautiful historic town
I've never anything like this as far as damage from wildfires. A few homes though, were completely untouched. I wonder what happened to cause that to happen?
Advanced warfare capabilities.
DEW attack
Mamma mia. Prego per voi.🙏
This is beyond sad. Having been there so many times and having so many incredible memories. Those poor people that lost everything.
Oh my God! Horrible! 😱 It looks like after the atomic bomb hit. 😰
The public's disconnect with this tragedy evidences itself in that there can't be a recovery. Only photographic memories left. The towns are (were) like delicate coral reefs for the humans on land. Learn from this horror and protect what is left please. Heart felt condolences to the families of the lost and struggling.
Meanwhile im Australia:
*Just another Wednesday, mate
Oh how horrible! Those poor people! Please everybody pray for them. God bless you all!
Energy weapons?
thanks !
Very sad. Easy to see how people were having to get in the water to save themselves. Prayers to the people of Maui.
This is so sad and unbelievable. My heart goes out to this Island.
Pray All the People get what they need ~ very little faith in FEMA 😐 Mahalo Ohana 😢💔🙏🏾💜🌎
Does anyone ask WHAT STARTED THE FIRE?
OMG look at the house spared at 1:23
It's the exterior sidings ( and possibly the roofings) . See the Grenfell Tower fire in London ( 72 deaths ) for example.
So how did this happen? What started it?
As one who experienced our (Australia) devastating bushfires in 2019, I grieve for Maui and those who suffered.
seconded by a Canadian. We are having by far the greatest bushfire summer in our history and the extensive loss of communities and habitat is crushing.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you affected by this I just wish there was something I could do to help.... However I am barely getting by here myself on the mainland.
Sorry for your losses. Stay strong. Rebuild and regrow. We here in South East Australia face this regularly. Take a deep breath, have a break and gather your thoughts. Then you just have to toughen up and get back at it!
Prayers for them
At the 1:23 mark one house with a shed intact this was an energy weapon that did this
💯
And STILL some trees standing‼️
@@tabp8448 Epstein island is one of many Oprah Winfrey only a thousand acres in that Island
Y'all have never seen a wildfire happen. My neighborhood burned down in 2007 with a few random homes still standing. This is normal. Not sure why people are so intrigued by the trees still standing either. This is normal... trees are living things with lots of water inside. Try burning a freshly cut log versus a seasoned log. Last thing these poor people need are inconsiderate conspiracy pushers.
@@surfordie82 thank you.
I was just there last Friday ,was almost finished the remodel.She lost everything 😢
Kaanapali, Napili looks good. I worked in Lahaina everyday and to see it burned to the ground is truly unbelievable. I hope they do more to Atleast save Kihei and central. Upcountry. I own two homes in Kihei and my tenants are telling me it’s jam packed with people now.
Sucks when that climate change doesn't stick to the poor neighborhoods.
Oh boy 🤣🤣
@@blogintonblakley2708 In this case it kind of did. Front street was the business and party area and has all the historical features. However right behind it and all the way up to lahainaluna high school is burned which were all the old plantation style homes and low rise apartments. Some were in really bad condition but still livable. Thousands of homes gone.
@@jerrymylove1754 Nice try mate.
No doubt other than the business district, the fires chose to only burn the "cheap" houses in Maui.
The good news is that unlike Puerto Rico or Detroit, it's unlikely that the US government is going to let a huge section of Maui stay destroyed. I see brand new opportunities to build rental properties with government loans in your future. On Boardwalk! Woooo!
What do you think?
So yeah, there is probably a difference between how Maui is going to be treated and how Puerto Rico was treated. The best news, all the poor people who lived in the "cheap" houses, they will be replaced by people that can afford the expensive new homes and apartments.
How much you want to bet me?
Maybe you can get Trump to stop by and shoot rolls toilet paper at people?
@@dirty_hammy What? ;}
Did the news ever say what was the source of ignition?
This is heartbreaking. I honeymooned there! There was a painting in the museum that depicted a whaling ship from my home town..
Just remarkable how some houses / places were not touched at all !!! Same thing happened to us in the Philippines in the 60's all the house flat our only one standing after a Hurricane hit....
Just awful. Was there a year ago next week. My condolences to all those who've lost so much.
Thank you for this video. This is sad to watch. I myself on property on the big island and this is sad. Well thank you for this video over here in the mainland Los Angeles, California.🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
If you own property on the Big Island, you might want to look into microwave-proofing your roof and walls. The DEWs used to create the destruction in Maui will soon be used on your island, too.
Looks like the DEW fires that happened in Colorado a couple years ago.
I loved visiting Lahaina and have such fond memories holidaying on Maui and of Lahaina.. So so sad.
So sad. My deepest condolences go out to the families of those that perished and those that were injured.
Homes and businesses can be rebuilt, but not a human life.
I’ve been there several times and loved it, now, it’s all gone.
Gone and rebounding better than ever All New…
@@PeteDavidson-yl3ps Well, aren’t you thoughtful, kind and considerate? And all the people that died? What about them? Our lives can change in the blink of an eye as we’re seeing so often now with all these world tragedies. These are all signs of the times … the End Times just like Jesus warned us in Matthew 24:4-8. And Jesus is coming back soon just like he promised. John 3:16 is the simplicity of salvation. The key word is believe! Because eternal lives do matter!
and at least100 now and still counting, very sad
Doesn’t wildfires normally happen in a forest? .?
You’re not supposed to point-out the inconsistencies. They want you to believe that this was a natural disaster.
I had no idea Lahaina has no beach along much of it's coast. No wonder there were so many injuries from people escaping to the water.
It looks like the Maria Laikaina Catholic church survived again. It survived the wild fire in 2018. Why no mention in main stream media?
Thank you for sharing this. I send strength, peace and love to all involved. I'm so sorry this happened.
I wanna know why I just saw a video on RUclips with someone saying these fires were suspicious and they looked like carpet bombs??? Who and why would this be happening there??
very strange how the fire get to the house ? dew for sure was used.
Soul-crushing. The footage of the traffic jam along the coastal road with all the vehicles burned out made me shudder. What happened to those possibly caught fleeing in traffic?
Nothing natural about that fire. Powers that be having a field day
@2:58 - 2:60 what or who is walking across the lower left corner? All in black like a mist.
Gone. Incredible.
Sharing love and prayers for the families of Maui fire disaster.🙏🙏🙏
Wow! This is heartbreaking! My son was "Mauied" there and now it's gone. Unbelievable! My thoughts and prayers to all directly affected by this devistating disaster. 😢🙏
Fire starts in hurricane winds. How did they say it started?
Heartbreaking 😢😢😢
Oh my broken heart , such a great loss
I've spent many, many fun days and nights in Lahaina, over the years. Very sad to see. It will never be the same, again.
Im only one minute into the video and ive counted a couple of hundred standing trees, this seems to be a special kind of fire avoiding trees but melting cars and houses
Now big developer's will come in buy the land and price everyone out.
