Please donate to the Red Cross if you are able to. They are the only ones you see with boots-on-the-ground at nearly every disaster imho. Hawaii Strong!!!!
America needs emergency generators for disasters like this and emergency portable cell towers. We're the US.
This was an act of God
how are there trees with leaves in the middle of blocks of ashes? how did the fires go out? GOD help them
I hope they were able to

What your 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.
So very heartbreaking. Prayers for everyone on Maui. But having lived many years on Oahu I know the beautiful resilience and strength of the Hawaiian people will carry the day.
Send money to Hawaii instead of Ukraine.
Pray for the people of Maui! I hope they find their loved ones safe and sound! God please help them!
Was the laser ours or china?
To the Kama'aina and the 'Aina of Lahaina, Me Ke Aloha....
Yesterday HFD said at least a 100 body count... unreal 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hopefully no more.....🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 One is too many.
The devastation upon humans animals and fauna it's heartbreaking I'm from Australia and fully understand impact.
We are thinking if you all .
I could hear the birds chirping all there homes gone too.
🙏 for the future Lahaina ❤
Why not pray for no more fires?🤓🧐🤨
@@buzz5969 and that too ... no more wildfires
What would make it ignite like a tinder box? That isn't even normal. It wasn't that hot there. It isn't global warming. Did gas lines explode and catch fire? The whole city suddenly ignites which sounds very suspicious to me. A hundred people in the water but they only rescued 14?? How long did responders take to get there? Who sent the message out? Were the people sailing around in boats able to rescue anyone?
We Were There in February & March,Last Year & it Was VERY DRY!
80 MpH WINDS Snapped 29 Electric Poles & Caught the Dry grasses On FIRE!
Lahaina is a semi-arid climate, it must be in a rain shadow of some mountain I'm guessing.
@@pillarwatch It is next to water kicking spray into the air.
@@dawncrossland3028 Some dry grass okay, not the whole entire city.

I Speak from Experience Living in a Drought Ladened Land.
Have You Ever Experienced 85 Mile per Hour WINDS!?!?
They Are TERRIFYING
& NO FIRE can be stopped
once it Starts,til it Burns itself out.
It is a small Town.
Wasn’t even enough Housing
for it’s Population of 12K!
But,often Has 12K in Visitors
@ any given time.
Our Hometown Caught on Fire while we Were in Hawaii!!
Love you from Santa Cruz. We had a firestorm in the CZU fire burned 917 family homes and the really disturbing thing people saw was the fire build up strength climbing up mountains. You would think it would go up and down one mountain and stop but it didn't the deep grade of our mountains helped the fire and embers flew like your fire to the next ridge point just zipping up and through canyons. Like the mountains create a funnel. We are a little town too and there is nothing so hard as seeing your home town in images from outer space with those mountains connected in one long blaze across ridge tops. Get mental health support. You are constantly in our prayers and actions.
hurricane 800 miles away & wind "gone" next day ! , humm
So what are you trying to say?
I’m almost in tears omg, it brings back my memories of hurricane Maria when I was in vieques Puerto Rico. Omg my heart ❤️ goes out.
100 people were seen in the water and only 14 rescued???
Hundreds dead 😢
Yes, it's very odd the way this channel downplays the number of deaths, and that report of people in the water specifically.
@@1ACL Censoring has been a thing in Hawaii for decades. They don't want bad things mentioned that would affect tourism. 😃
It's because the winds were so powerful just like our 19 Granite Mountain hot shots firefighter that were killed in Prescott AZ just horrible
How scary . This makes me cry for all the ppl . I'm so sorry they went through this horrible tragedy . Praying the death toll stays low and you all get the help you need . Lord show yourself as God to ppl who do not know you !
This reminds me of the fires in Australia a few years ago when fire reached the southern coast and people fled into the water. No power, just glow from the fires. My heart goes out to everyone affected, what a terrifying ordeal to go through. Its times like this when humanity, humility, love and kindness come together to bring out the best in people and remind all of us how fragile life is. 🙏❤
Same ĐËWs caused the fires.
This is a nightmare😢I am so so sorry for everyone affected by this. Seeing the destruction via television is bone chilling, I can’t imagine those that survived it💔 Prayers from CA❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If you have a problem processing this bs your mental health is just fine.
You mean like when they mention there were 100 people in the water and say 14 were rescued by boat ... and I'm asking what what does that mean for 86 other people ?
They don't say what happened ... so assuming they all died ?
How did the fires get started? This is horrible! Mine and my family's heart goes out to Maui,Hi. Praying for you
@babskaz74 I figured it was intentional, on all the islands no doubt. I told my son in law it had to be intentional because all those islands don't burn at once unless there was some major volcanic eruption, as well the fires were done because whoever did it KNEW those hurricane force winds would be reaching the islands. So sad and heartbreaking.

Ain’t nothin but a DEW thing
God Bless the people who endured such a tremendous amount of people in Hawaii and my hearts go out to the people who have suffered this BIG LO$$!!! God BLE$$!!! I have already had calls on my cell phone from SCAMMER$ to donate!!! Please be AWARE !!!
Where was God to put out the fires?
Nu este Dumnezeu de vină, numai judecați greșit, căutați cauza de unde a pornit focul?! Cine are vină
Natura sau omul ,nu cumva el provoacă totul?!
Do you suppose billionaires, millionaires, celebrities donate big bucks after these kinds of disasters ?
I was wondering about the corporate hotels.
Well of course if they have hearts. But not try yo buy up things in a time of need.. watch China and Russia they will be there to buy more of HI than they already own

you are so brilliant I wanna puke@@1ACL
California, Canada 🇨🇦, Colorado and Maui, hmmmmm ?
Someones conspiracy driven pea brain is spinning away…😅😂
What are you getting at @johnrusselman1364 ?
And AZ, TX, Greece, Spain, China, Australia, etc, etc, etc. What's your point?
Australia, Greece, Oregon, Arizona....
Fires will continue under drought and increased storms, record high temperatures... It's not a conspiracy. It's the new normal.
And nobody talks about the animals.
Wind and fire: deadly coctel.
cocktail*
Heartbreaking the earth and towns and homes and businesses and churches got completely destroyed by the fire and high winds so scary and so sad in Maui island and others places too
No one says how this started! They talk about how the wind and dryness contributed to its power but, how did it start?
It’s absolutely incredible to me that no one is asking what should be the obvious question:
“How did this start???”
There was one guy who reported that winds knocked down a power line that sparked. It's not confirmed though.
I read an article that stated it was a downed power line on the hillside above Lahaina. However with 60 to 80 mile an hour winds generated due to a hurricane 600+ miles off the coast. That just caused the fire to spread way quicker than it should have.
@@reginarobinson2080 I read about downed power lines, and the wind, but the cause is still under investigation.
So what ever happened to the disabled person riding a scooter in the street then turn around driving back to smoke and fire? Did nobody notice her/him. Can someone do a follow up on it to know they are safe? It’s the one on “ debris flies in powerful winds”
Exactly. I've been asking since the video came out 🙏🏾
People in their cars who probably had space and didn't bother to help that person either ?
The island ancestors want these outsiders to leave and give the land back to the real Hawaiians, they think they own the land but they are unwelcome guests
So why weren't the Coast guard in the water retrieving people when there was supposedly a hundred people in the water and they only retrieved 17 people out of the water what is going on
thousands remain without power? thousands remain without houses.
Where are the fire crews? I haven't seen any fire fighters anywhere?
If you want bushfires, come to Australia.....ours are the biggest, fiercest, and wildest of them all.
Wish for everyone to be ok.
This was not a natural fire🤔
No conspiracy theories here.
@@lovely-mk4rtMmm, trees and cars and houses burning from the inside out seems to go against the laws of nature 🤷🏼♂️ever heard of D.E.W’s….. they are actually real
@@lovely-mk4rt It just so happens that useful idiots with a shallow mind have taken a phrase coined by the CIA, "conspiracy theorist," and used that term to gas light, equivovate, doublespeak and create ambiguity. The CIA created "conspiracy theorist" knowing that this term would spread throughout the CORPORATE owned and controlled; CIA directed propaganda media. The American sheep, who would believe the lies and deception of Satan, put their trust and faith in bureaucratic government agencies, politicians, and propaganda media who make a living by lying and deceiving. These American sheep actually believe what the lying, deceiving politicians, bureaucrats and propaganda media tell them. Anyone the American sheep hear speaking the truth that doesn't agree with the narrative coming from the bureaucrats, politicians and propaganda media who are all in bed together, must be a "conspiracy theorist." Those who use the term have no argument that will stand up to the truth. The term has now become a cliche; a platitude for those who are too lazy to do their own research. These lazy people then become the useful idiots of those who originated the narrative that is nothing more than lies and deception. These American sheep are incapable of discerning between right and wrong, good and evil and are simply following the father of lies and deception, Satan.
Prayers from the world
We see this every year in CA. Just horrible that such a beautiful place is now destroyed. Heartbreaking!
Yea but many rejoice when Cali burns🤷♂️
I chill to listen you I pray for you all! To my family JHWH W... Prayers and encouragements to your elders.
Anyone else think its weird that maui didn't do phone alerts nor sirens?? Nothing. Its very easy and quick to do but they didn't. Why?? The phone cell towers and sirens they tested at beginning go out in first 1/4 acre when fire was known?? Fishy!!!!!
So this couple just pushed off! Didn't they see any souls in need of rescue?
As soon as those strong winds hit power should have been shut off coild have prevented the fire
So sudden its odd. Im not the only person thinking that
Like the sudden fires here in Canada, when fires pop up all in a row on a map at the same time?
electric company going to face massive lawsuits. hope they are insured.
Australia 🇦🇺 has terrible fires 🔥 also
The fire men should of never left smoldering fires before leaving. A 50 foot clearing around Lahaina too should of been.
English?
Sadly they ran out of water
There were also two other fires on the island that were happening simultaneously. Just an awful situation
It ripped through like it was planned. Your testimony builds an even stronger case for Arson… I wonder who’s got the capability to pull off something like dat…..🤔🤷🏼♀️
@Eidelmania 🤭🤣
Think Bigger 🤩🤣But Of Course-it’s all speculations, for entertainment purposes Only. (Disclaimer: I’m in NO way making fun of the fire itself)
What started it?
Smoking Maui wauwi
80 mile an hour winds from a hurricane that knocked down about 30 telephone poles and caught fire on the very dry grass as things have been very dry
Remember the great sea 🌊 shanty Rolling Down to Old Maui about whaler of Arctic whale 🐋 hunting grounds lounging to return to Maui

Trust to Our Lord of Divine Mercy, Our Almighty Father and God.... HE will help you regain your new life.
AMEN ❤
From Australia .The most obvious question for me is how did the fire start and why was tropical forest burning so intensely and how did the concrete structures burn completely away
DEW
It’s important to note the devastation the onlookers saw.! And the helplessness you must have felt as you witnessed the moments .. you couldn’t help anyone but yourselves! You are a witness to the destruction.. you represent the life style and stories of Maui.. you are important, you are loved, and you matter! be brave and humble and strong in your life journey.❤
may you find peace and comfort in the darkness of your life. You will find peace without fear..
we are all very grateful for your lives.. ❤
I hope these fires are extinguished by this Christmas.
Extinguished,Yes,but it Will Take YEARS to Rebuild the West side!
Just horrible. I live in Sonoma County, California and this looks so awful. Shockingly, it's even worse in many, many ways than what happened here in terms of: more people dead and missing, harder to get resources to people in need. Etc. 🙏 Just terrible. So sorry for everyone impacted, the locals especially (and sorry for the wildlife, trees, and historical items lost). Much love everyone, may all come together and help each other to survive and heal. 💟
The seeing the chickens in the background pecking around is a good sign that both animals and people will survive this disaster. I live in Southern Oregon, and we have had our share of wild fires. It's hard to believe that a tropical Island would be devastated by such a big fire. My prayers are with you. Hope you receive good instruction on safety and evacuation.
36 dead people and countless animals. This is not a forest in Oregon… update 53 people now…
@@erickane7093 so sorry about the loss of lives I grieve for the people. Here in the West it not just about forests; its about towns, homes, shopping centers, and many dying from these fires during these past 10 plus years.
Thousand of buildings have been destroyed. Just like in Maui, people here in the western states have had to flee with little warning. I no longer feel safe because of the constant threat of fires. We are living in usual times and we have adjust accordingly.
Not an accident. Search D.E.W.
Stop it. People dying and you throw conspiracy theories. Shame on you

Sadly itsa blow furnace anything in its path it creamated all in it's path
What’s heartbreaking is that News Media keep saying this was a wild fire.
Hawaii is surrounded by water, yet it is of no use. Still not believe in the God ?
Fire, floods, high cost of living, sign of the time! Not looking good! So much "unpredictability." Man needs to call on God again. He is listening, to those who PRAY!!❤
only 36 people? Try over 1000 and many children stuck in their homes and apartments because school was out that day!!! No sirens, no warnings...
You know how old news is 30 dead yet 1,000 now
homeless in America can donate tents.
I am very grateful for all the people of Maui! They are so supportive of each other. I couldn't be more upset with our Government's response. Do not believe what you are hearing on the news. Our government has very few boots on the ground. FEMA and the red cross are making it so much more difficult for volunteers. At the least, they need communication restored! (Starlink) We have failed them miserably!
Must be a 'early report' as the news is just reporting 36 deaths. Is now at 99+, and search teams say this is just the 'outside' count.
About 2000 islanders and guest are unaccounted for.
Look forward to seeing this number drop!
Is no one talking about how toxic this smoke must have been…this wasn’t just trees burning, but plastics and building materials and more…. Prayers for those who perished and prayers for all of the survivors for all of the things they’ve witnessed and any future hurdles they may have.
The camera is watching a roof on fire, of an intact building, but no one is concerned about putting the fire out, no fireman, no one with a hose...

Reminds me of the Greek fires 🔥 a few years ago… Or Chicago fire 🔥
Our thoughts and prayers for the good people of Maui. Time for people around the globe to check their fire preparedness. El Ninio is here in Australia, and things are drying out fast. Droughts incoming. Very worried we are going to have very bad fires in the coming years in Australia. The idiots at the EPA have reduced the amount you are allowed to clear around your land boundary and around your house, so the vegetation and big trees are much closer now - and nothing you can legally do. Lots of dry fuel building up. Even a gentle breeze will allow a fire to easily jump fire breaks and containment lines. Thinking of building an underground shelter so I have a possible life line if I cannot get out.

The big kitchen table at the family farm was saved from the Great Chicago Fire. They were trapped. As the crowd began to burn they drove the horses and horse cart right into Lake Michigan. We were told they spent over 24 hours in the water. A boat rescued the kids and most the women. The men stayed with the goods and horses. Later they would be reunited. Thousands of people burned alive. Good luck to all of you.
Pretty unbelievable palms are chard brick structure are insinuated to the ground. With nothing but concrete parking lots in between structures?
So sorry for those in Hawaii hope recovery comes soon Aug 14 2023
