This is quite reminiscent of some recent "wildfires" in California.
Not to “I saw things,” but I saw *things*
Exactly
Better to see this without news reporter commentary, it’s more powerful.
AMB burning those fields the week before, almost like they wanted to contain a fire if the town burnt…sus
The scale of destruction in Lahaina appears even worse than what happened to Paradise, California and neighboring communities from the Camp Fire in November 2018. That fire cost 85 lives. The total number of casualties in the Maui fires is as yet unknown.
Sharing love and prayers for the families of Maui fire disaster.🙏🙏🙏
Man, those downed power lines are really devastating. Almost looks like a warzone, yeah? As if some exotic weaponry was just used, yeah? 🤨
I agree 💯👍
Power lines at 35,000'
No exotic weaponry needed. Just dry conditions, fire and high wind, similar to what happened in the Camp Fire that destroyed Paradise, California and several neighboring communities in November 2018.
Directed Energy Weapons
This is incomprehensible !!! How could this possibly happen ???
Apparently the town was made of old wood buildings....but still...
Wood-frame houses and high wind.
There was a fire.

The government is starting most/all these fires
My prayers for all my friends brothers and sisters. God bless.
We will stand together
This is an outrageous result of incompetence.
They had a sirene warning system that was never used.
What happened to a door to door search.
People we're just left there.
I've been evacuated three times because of fire. Most people check on their neighbors before exiting.
Sure, the town being distroyed is sad, but the loss of life is unforgivable.
CLUSTERFU**
As I look at this video I can see the condo, Lahaina Roads, where we stayed for three weeks this last May. It is one of the only buildings left standing on Front St. just north of downtown. Lahania was such a great place so full of history dating back to the whaling days. The loss of life is unspeakable.
We were fortunate to visit almost every shop, restaurant and historic site in the area. Little did anyone know that those quaint wooden buildings would be gone in a flash. Even though we're not there it's still hard to fathom the magnitude of this disaster. God bless all those wonderful people we had the pleasure of visiting...
Thanks for making it about you.
Hard to see this. I was in down town Lahaina just a couple years ago. I could never image this would have happened. I wish them all the best.
Nothing to say, but keep 🙏🙏 it's heartbreaking to all of us to see this 🙏🙏
The Pioneer Mill Smokestack is my favorite
Father God,b with those people,in jesus-Mighty's Name,amen and amen.
How many hours did the fire burn??
Unbelievable 😢
I am a GIS analyst and I have looked at the recent aerial imagery of Lahaina to search for clues as to the source of the fire and the burn pattern. It appears that the fire started in two areas, one just below a power transfer station adjacent to the solar plant and the other one I can not tell because the new imagery does not show it (Google Earth Pro). I have seen video footage from someone who shows the down power lines starting the fire in brush under the lines, so that may be the second ignition source. The fire was indiscriminate, it burned masonry, steel, and wood frame houses. It burned tile, composite and wood shingle roofs. It burned blue things and red, white, and green buildings (and I assume cars, but don't have imagery of the cars to verify). It burned houses with trees right up next to the buildings, and houses that had no surrounding vegetation. The ownership of the houses burned and non-burned is mixed as well. Most of the owners do not have Hawaiian sounding names, burned and not burned. Many Japanese names, but also many European names, owner occupied, listed rentals, some Vietnamese, many properties are trusts. Property values of burned and unburned are also mixed, between 550,000 to 1 million for most of them, excluding the beach front homes. The age of the homes did not appear to matter either. Ages ranging from 1940-s to 2016 construction were burned and unburned. Basically, I see no patterns. I know that fire tornadoes can form in intense heat, and there was enough wind to fuel the fire, and so maybe the irregular burn pattern matches what we see in situations where tornadoes go through a neighborhood and hit and miss houses. Otherwise, if anyone is thinking DEW, then whoever was directing the energy was scribbling and not intentionally hitting or missing any particular target, not to mention that there is clear evidence that the fires were started by downed power lines. Disaster capitalism is real, so maybe they were waiting for disaster to strike so that they could go in and burn the entire place to ashes. I wouldn't discount it, but I can't prove it. I wish someone with direct knowledge of the DEW program would speak up. I don't even see the supposed DEW facility listed in Maui, based on the spatial data I downloaded for DOD property locations.
You didn’t notice there were many blue vehicles & many other blue objects that didn’t burn, just sitting in the ashes?
Prayers from Vermont to all of our fellow human beings to stay as strong as possible - God Bless all of you!!
I hate it for the people that were victims of this Arson
Why do you think this was arson? When responding to natural disasters we are only prepared for situations that fall within our own experience and expectations. Environmental conditions this summer are beyond our normal parameters.
Directed Energy Weapons
Sad!
Why at 1:35, do you see a very large car lot with all cars destroyed but no structure around it that burned down? Why at 1:50 you can see blue and grey garbage cans in the driveways of the undamaged homes but you don't see any melted puddles of blue in the driveways of the destroyed homes?
But the Pioneer Mill Smokestack survive in Lahainaluna

@@djavidianmx1832 No, Directed Energy Weapons buttmunch.
The two hotels owned by the Pritzker family the Hyatt and Lahaina Shores hotels were untouched by the fires. The Pritzker family Penny worked in the Obama admin. JB was the governor of Illinois. The 32.5 billion dollar family was blessed by not having the fire affect them so why they have not donated money to the hard-working families in Lahaina Town that lost everything homes and jobs?
Show Lahaina families some love.
Is there a discovery what caused the fire yet?
Directed Energy Weapons most likely
Hurricanes are bad, but this is worse than a 5!
Incoming high-rise resorts, gambling and mega mansions, and Hooters beach front.
Tile roof still standing
It’s devastating to the beautiful island. Unfortunately, WH will NOT provide aid to Maui until more $ is given to Ukraine.
Not true they already have.
Fkuc Ukraine, the left is just protecting the DNC server. Let it get taken over.
Then end the Fake war in Ukraine 🎉
Jesus Christ. When you look at this, you realize there was nowhere to run.
anyone know, did McDonalds or First Hawaiian up the street burn?
Where the hell do all the people go now? This will take forever to rebuild.
And their jobs :(
It looks suspicious, I’m not an expert at fires but where’s the outside fuel. When Fort McMurray burned in Alberta there was an outside fuel source feeding the fire. I’m sorry for your loses. However it happened it is brutal and tragic.
It is difficult to believe but high winds carrying embers while providing oxygen flow will create conditions of extreme temperatures.. live downed power lines.. we are not prepared for conditions beyond our expectations or experience..
What was the outside fuel source? Space lasers????????
I mean, wow. Just what can you say - other than "Jewish Space Lasers".
Sometimes the truth is crazier than fiction
Dielectric heating*
Maybe the life of the land was left to fend for itself for too long.
Not sayin space lasers but this is some sophisticated arson for sure. Make way for some green new deal projects likely already on the books

Godspeed recovery Maui
So, the town of Lahaina is the cause of the fire that burned down the brush all around the west Maui mountains? We heard of flash floods, flash fires but now they say this is a flash drought. They are also saying someone with a hot plate in Lahaina Town might have started the fire or a cigarette caused the fire? Where did the fire start not at the Hyatt Hotel or at Lahaina Shores that'S for sure. Why has no one even mentioned Lahaina shores hotel and Condominiums? Why the fire did not touch their property. Everything on both sides burned to the ground including boats in Lahaina harbor. Something stinks about this fire and it's not the smoke. What stinks is the smoke the county and state are blowing our way saying things like ''Flash Droughts'' Has anyone noticed them saying they're calling this a ''Climate Emergency'' When they say this then watch out for more laws and regulations to be passed along to the taxpayers. They want to discourage anyone from driving a car or traveling by air. This will be only for those who are in compliance with the county and state mandates. Why did the Ukraine people get more money for the people than for our own folk at home here in the state of Hawaii? The Ukraine refugees are more important than the citizens of the US evidently. So many questions and too many experts that make up new Climate Change rules that help the rich to grow richer and the poor to stay even poorer than ever before. Who owns the Hyatt Hotel and Lahaina Shores Hotel and Condominium? The Japanese own most of Maui now including evidently the news. Now that there's a new threat called ''Flash Droughts' the people of Lahaina can expect the new Lahaina town will be built for Hollywood Celebrities to enjoy exclusively. Now Madam Winfrey the talk show magnate can build her Ocean front estate up to code to withstand ''Flash Droughts'' The poor useless towns folk who worked. two jobs to make ends meet are not needed anymore. The digital cashless society will replace them with a digital wallet ID. No need for the poor to work for them unless they are in compliance with the state and county. This fire stinks and did not start the way they will say it did. We can see clearly now who owns Lahaina Town and it's not the poor folk who need to work. The billionaires who own the world make all the decisions now for the lowly who have no say in their future. Don't believe us but when there's no cash then it will be a different world. More Better for the rich but far worse for all who need food and water to survive the coming lockdowns calling for a '' Climate Change Crisis Summit'' The past laws won't apply as they do now. Don't give in to tyranny give your life to Jesus He will find a way out for your escape. This system is falling fast so please be vigilant by watching for the Lord's return 2023.
Dakine Bruh now

Think they'll discount reservations at this locale?
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🌴🌺❤️.
What boggles my mind is where are the airplanes and helicopters that dropped the water ?
Smokey the bear has been making T.V. commercials for 70 years , you can spend millions of dollars on Parks and Recreation areas but can't buy a plane that drops water , you can spend millions of dollars on unnecessary crap but can't buy a plane that drops water ,
70 YEARS and your still unprepared ,
You get ZERO pity from me ,
That's what TAX is supposed to PAY for , NOT lining people's bank accounts .
The wind was too high for helicopters and airplanes. It wasn't an option.
@@mariknutson7307 , because the Fire got out of control and created heat ,
Like heat 🔥 raises a hot air balloon 🎈
into the sky and the wind just kept getting faster , if the Air Tankers took off before it got out of hand then it could have been controlled ,
There is also other GROUND Fire control Methods that also was NOT used ,
You mankind is greedy and would rather spend MONEY on Parks , Statues , Tourism , etc ,etc
Than on Fire prevention that may not come in 10 or 20 years ,
Then are UNPREPARED just like THIS .
BUT come down town and look at the pretty flowers 💐 we have
@mariknutson7307 yeah sure from a hurricane 700 miles away.
Thy Wrath

Don’t forget what’s Egypt! Revelation 11(8).
Exodus 22:21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 22:22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
Exodus 22:23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;
Exodus 22:24 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
Isaiah 13:9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

Wildfires are wild. Why don't these people carve out broad paths between trees so that fires don't spread? That's what I would do. It's not rocket science. Forest management in California and other places is pathetic and irresponsible. These officials are disgusting.
Here's a government that doesn't cry for help. Such as the south does on regular basis.
Great diversion for the biden crime syndicate👍🎉🇺🇸

Must be very comfy where you are sitting at
10% for the big guy.
@@yenlinhtran69 high crime, illegals, joy

All these commenters bringing up other tragedies ," why are we giving money for that tradegy as opposed to this one".
Are you really that callous? Grow up and maybe realize if our government taxed things, we could provide relief for hawaii and the other tragedies, but no, you dont want to be taxed so America can only help one thing at a time, apparently.
I hate to be the one to tell you the government does tax. A lot. Unfortunately when the government taxes rich people more they just send more jobs overseas like they've been doing for the last 50 years. The people are right. We should be spending our tax money here doing things like burying power lines, building better fire breaks, protecting our environment, having places where people could have escaped to, etc., so disasters like this don't happen.
@@kimleone5496 but is "a lot" enough? Some of these corporations are paying practically nothing with how much money they make. Either way, legislation could happen in some form or another to raise more money. As a country we've gotten too used to listening to the business owners about how they won't get their bonus this year if we don't give them tax breaks while they also get to use and degrade public roads and systems. Sorry long comment lol
@soeinschlitzor That is a whole lot of bs that you are spewing.
Corporations get tax breaks and receive welfare, not regular business owners.
Money is debt and created at the push of a button, and when you sign a "loan" agreement or a credit card slip.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
Our loving gooberment creates more funds to send to corrupt countries than it applies towards people in this country, and will absolutely waste the fruits of our labor before extending the least amount to the very same public that is on the hook and forced to surrender it under force of violence.
"We" don't have any say on what the gooberment steals from us because the system is totally, blatantly criminal in all cases.
So very, very sad and inexcusable that Maui County's elected officials were more concerned with filing lawsuits against fossil fuel companies over non-existent climate change impact and making time to make an official resolution supporting the Paris Climate Accord but had no concerns over and no desire to ensure Maui County had adequate fire prevention, fire mitigation and firefighting capabilities in place. Moral of the story is don't vote for liberals that have fallen for the climate change scam if you don't want to risk having your community totally destroyed and dozens of your fellow neighbors unnecessarily killed.
Don’t worry bidens on the job
