Aww, poor baby, you have deaths on your hands.

Gov. Josh Green, grew up in the Pittsburgh area, in the exclusive Sewickly area(Quaker Valley school district).

Well the people of Hawaii voted for a democrat haole climate nut.

[butlerweave]

Look in the mirror and you’ll see who’s fault it is

[albie]

Oh yeah? Not nearly as “agonizing” as holding back water for some in the name of diversity you useless Commie! On the other hand, it’s always difficult to muster up sympathy for bone heads that vote for this BS over and over

Good golf course in Sewickly. Too bad they produce lackluster “leaders” like this buck-passer.

“Lahaina will rise again,” governor Josh Green said

I don't think so. Eighty percent of the town was totally destroyed.

When the fire started to rage out of control at about 3:30pm, police closed the Lahaina bypass road and residents were told to "shelter (or die) in place."

Here is the official Maui civic alert on 8 August:

Lahaina fire flareup forces Lahaina Bypass road closure; shelter in place encouraged

“...our sacred bonds of Obama.”

What’s that stinker got to do with it?

[LeoWindhorse]

As with New Yorker Abercrombie, they had a pretty good choice , in Republican , former judge and LG, James ‘Duke’ Aiona . I knew Duke personally for awhile and I can tell you he is a good man . Hawaiian heart , true Aloha. But these D dipshits out here rejected him, twice. They then vote for whatever mainland haole Democrat is running instead Every time ... Then, they go on & on about ‘sovereignty ‘ and ‘ occupation ‘ yadda yadda yadda . Most Hawaii voters are about as bright as a bag of rocks .

1500 dead kids will do that

[DoughtyOne]

That’s what I never get. These people they voted in continue
to fail from one party, and these folks continue to vote for
them and the party they emerge from. Why?

It beats anything I’ve ever seen. California is being
destroyed, but by golly, the Leftists in this state will
still vote for the same folks who have gotten us to the
brink of destruction. Why?

While we talk about those getting graft from the state, it
still doesn’t explain away the fact even the money they
are given doesn’t pay for all they want. Can’t they figure
that out?

It’s like, “Well, I don’t mind sacrificing my life and
the life of my family members, as long as Leftist get to
turn out the lights when only ashes are left.”

[FlingWingFlyer]

Thanks for that. I didn’t know nothing about him but when I looked at his mug, “back east union thug” immediately came to mind. Then I wondered why Hawaii didn’t have a Hawaiian governor.

[iontheball]

Psychopaths are behind the fires occurring across the Country, just as they are behind the Covid Scamdemic. In both instances, they have declared war on the American people, killing off humanity and burning down their homes, all the while hiding the truth behind a veil of deceit and lies. They do this with arrogance because they see themselves as our overlords and fashion themselves to be so much smarter than you and I. How close to the end of their rope are they? With eyes and ears wide open, take a look and listen to this report on the engineered ‘wildfires.’

Normally, after major events like this, as the death toll rises, the count of missing decreases. It has remained at 1300 though...

[metmom]

You’re the governor, buster.

YOU do something about that.

Unbelievable

[logi_cal869]

I just found this:

Map, satellite images show where Hawaii fires burned throughout Lahaina, Maui

Maui County reported the following on the initial brush fire:

Posted on: August 8, 2023 Lahaina fire declared 100% contained; water conservation urged due to power outages Lahaina Fire Update No. 2 at 9:55 a.m.: Maui Fire Department declared the Lahaina brush fire 100% contained shortly before 9 a.m. today. However, power outages are impacting the ability to pump water, and the public is asked to conserve water in West Maui. Fueled by strong wind from Hurricane Dora that is passing well south of Hawai’i, a brush fire of about three acres was reported at 6:37 a.m. today in the area of Lahainaluna Road. Evacuations were ordered at 6:40 a.m. in the area surrounding Lahaina Intermediate School. There were two people at the Lahaina Civic Center evacuation shelter as of 8:50 a.m. Lahainaluna Road remains closed between Kelawea and Kuialua streets while Hawaiian Electric responds to a downed power line in the area. The American Red Cross opened Lahaina Civic Center as an evacuation center due to the fire and area power outages tied to high winds. The shelter will remain open until further notice, but the facility has no power. Pet owners utilizing the shelter will need to have pets properly restrained. Winds in the area remain a concern. A high-wind warning issued by the National Weather Service for portions of Maui County remains in effect through 6 a.m. Wednesday. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

This image from the linked article purports to show the post-wind-driven-wildfire's damage to Lahaina:

The irony is that this image also shows a structure fire at the location of a building cited in Google maps as being the old Kahola Brewery...a building whose roof is adorned nearly 75% with solar panels. Just look at that thick, black smoke.

Worse, this article cites the cause of the Kohola Brewery fire as being from the original fire which was reported to have begun near a school (reported as an 'early fire' which hadn't yet registered on satellite images as of 6:40am and hours prior to storm winds).

Hessemer [JD Hessemer, a Maui resident and co-owner of Kohola Brewery in Lahaina] said he had driven to work Tuesday morning and encountered escalating winds and fallen powerlines that forced him to take an alternate route from his usual path. Once he got to the brewery, he and his employees decided that remaining on-site for the day would be unsafe due to a widespread power outage and extensive damage to powerlines. He said that one of his colleagues stayed behind to complete a task but eventually also evacuated before the fire reached the brewery and destroyed it.

Why is the brewery burning a full 24 hours after it was reported to be on fire and the only structure burning in the wake of Lahaina's destruction?

I think it's clear that we still don't know all of the facts.

“”Lahaina will rise again,’ governor Josh Green”

No, it won’t. Some town might be where Lahaina was, but it won’t be the same. I can’t even imagine. We were thinking about visiting again, but won’t go back now.

[mware]

Not as agonizing as the child and families burning to death in a huddled mass.

I think the Gubner needs a fair trial then hanging.

Good luck getting a business or homeowners insurance policy after this clusterfuq, Hawaii.

[SteveH]

i am concerned that the authorities will declare the area to be an environmental disaster zone, and then raze the area before people can document their losses for insurance purposes. then they would build a small memorial and a large casino hotel where there were previously homes. the plastic tarp fences that are going up now are reminiscent of construction zone fences that iirc are put up to keep new construction dust from speading by wind. if it is for new construction, then what new construction? if it is not for new construction, then what is it for? the news from lahaina seems as if it is that there is no news. no plans (until it is too late?) no body counts. no one allowed in, even to photograph and/or report. something underhanded seems to be going on. it seems ominous.
