Every detail that surfaces points another finger at massive governmental incompetence.
We now learn that the roads were intentionally blocked because of downed live power lines and there was apparently no way to isolate and shut off the power grid.
The Maui properties of billionaires had the brush cut back from power lines, the power turned off when the 70 mph winds started, and the water remaining on during the blaze, courtesy of the local government.
The Maui properties of peasants had brush growing all the up to the houses and power lines, the power remained on when the 70 mph winds started, and the water turned off during the blaze, courtesy of the local government.
The billionaires’ properties survived, the peasants’ didn’t.
Coincidence?
It's starting to look like deliberate malice to me.
