They lost everything in the Paradise fire. Now they’re reliving their grief as fires rage in Hawaii

Fri, August 11th 2023, 10:45 AM PDT...

...Lahaina, Hawaii, is a tropical paradise on the northwest coast of Maui. But wildfires ravaging the region have forever linked it to another Paradise, this one in California.

The two small towns have the grim distinction of experiencing the two deadliest wildfires in U.S. history

— tragedies that played out in a remarkably similar way.

I ran from one urban arson wildfire. One time doing that is enough. I’ll never run from another one. There’s no coming back from that.

I guess the reporter never heard of Peshtigo, Wisconsin in 1871, to name only one deadlier wildfire.

“But the two places have more in common than you would think, especially when it comes to wildfires, said Hugh Safford, a fire and vegetation ecologist at the University of California-Davis. The wildfire risks for both places have been well known for years, *****especially as a changing climate has ushered in hotter, drier seasons that have made wildfires more intense, he noted*****.”

Has anyone else had it up to *****here***** with “climate change” hustlers taking every blessed opportunity to force their tired propaganda down our collective throat during news events like this one?

I assume like most states run by democrats they never did anything to prevent wild fires or assigned any money to prevent them much like California to further push the climate change hoax so there was probably endless amounts of dry kindling laying around that could have been set aflame by anything, a lit cigarette, a drop of water acting like a magnifying glass, lightning, campfire.

Governor of Hawaii

Josh Green - D

Senators of Hawaii

Mazie Hirono - D

Brian Schatz - D

Congress

Jill Tokuda - D

Ed Case - D

I will bet anything each one of these Democrats will blame climate change if they haven’t already.

Several years ago the fires in Colorado came within sight of our son’s home. At one time he was surrounded by wild fires. The videos were terrifying.

It was a beatutiful early November morning with temps in the 70s and Santa Anas blowing fro the east to west.—I remember the plume over our tree line—It was a horrible day for those living in Paradise.

They are the direct analogue to “The Reverend” Al “Sharpie” Sharpton of the Tawana Brawley police demonization hoax and “The Reverend” Jesse Jackson.

Must have been utterly frightening with escape routes few to none.
