I am beyond shocked at the 2 videos the gal created above, thank you for sharing them Franny... Perhaps this is too emotional an issue for me to comment on, but I will anyway... I do apologize ahead of time if I upset anyone...
It's my opinion, that the gal in the 2 videos above has no clue what she is talking about, and couldn't even identify Lahaina on a map... Sad really, yet I am sure she is "raking in the bucks for the clicks", while people try to learn if their friends and families survived...
Her "How Sad" when she watched the lady drive past the person in the smoke filled streets, probably left to die, while she laughed, was repulsive in my opinion...
Some bullet points about Lahaina.. For those who want to really know about the island... And the town specifically...
Many structures were built a long time ago, and were only shells with wooden siding on the outside, and that is why they went up like matchsticks. This was a tropical island... MOST of the hotels are built like the "mainland", as guests would expect that, but these were just very thin boxes... Many attached to eachother as on Front street. The hotels are further up on the coast, and from what I can tell, were not affected...
Boats have a lot of fuel on them, and can be very flammable... ESPECIALLY wooden ones... And more than likely they caught fire before they left the harbor...
There were tons of dive shops with large explosive tanks there
There were many gas stations in that area that could/would explode
Most people barbecued daily on that island... With propane tanks on their barbecues
Tires burst under excessive heat and they sound like an explosion.
Winds CAN start fires...
Winds can shift where it pushes a fire and it can miss some things...
The emergency services were busy rescuing people, and there was no stopping this fire. AND they were the furthest away from Kahului... the hospital, and airport... Where the majority of the services are. More than likely the Lahaina fire Dept. burned down.
as far as fires "Missing things"...
People were driving through the fires to get out, more than likely that is why you saw random cars abandoned and on fire.
I am all for a good conspiracy... But this to me is tasteless.. They haven't even begun to finish the body count, and she is talking as if this happened 10 years ago. The fires are still burning.
The entire island gets sudden rain storms, mostly up country and through the Pali, but the winds coming into Lahaina on a good day would blow a vehicle out of their lane if the driver were not paying attention. And many times, it almost blew us off of our motorcycle as once up to speed, the wheels became a light barrier, and the wind would push them out from underneath us... The winds may not show in the videos but they come and go, like the rains, and they can be massive.
This woman posts an image of a roof structure that shows just how thinly built many of these buildings were... Yet goes on to imply they should have something left standing. And she suggests she is familiar with fires as she lives in California. I too live in California. born and raised, and have spent my entire life here, outside of my time living on Maui... And the two places, and their fire conditions couldn't be any more different. From the types of trees, to the winds and terrain. Living on Maui was like living on a different planet in that regard.
And I live in fire territory, the foothills, in Nevada City...... so we get evacuated ALOT. What we see here is loose pine needles blowing across the streets, decidious tree leaves... Bark flying in the wind storms the fires create, THAT is what gets flying through the air... Typically green grass pastures do not burn, only the dried out grass...
Those aren't the kind of trees Maui had, And Lahaina specifically... they had palms... Beautiful palms.. And of course the Banyan...
I just wish people would do more research before they present something like these videos, and at the very least, be able to point to the location on a map, before citing Physics... I couldn't even finish the video...
Granted, it could have been arson, but to jump straight to a DEW, is a BIG JUMP... And would require a lot more than pointing to the wrong location on a map, and yelling "CABAL"....
If they do find the starting of the fires suspicious, I would worry more about who else has DEWS than just the USA, and other large countries... But it's a bit too soon, in my opinion to point to some things and assert it was a DEW... Mother Nature is a tough opponent...
