In deadly Maui fires, many had no warning and no way out. Those who dodged barricades survived

Lots of interesting infomation in this article.

Seems to me to police should have let people go around the downed power lines.

Still, I do not understand why the sirens were not activted and water was not diverted to Lahaina.

So sad.

While the tremendous loss of life is remarkable, I'm having a hard time getting excited over these people who have had the inestimable privilege of living in a tropical paradise. And I'm not being sarcastic.

What does that have to do with failed government and hundreds of children burned alive?

You would feel bad if it were eskimos, but not polynesians?

Thats kinda weird.

Well, Trump caused global warming and the governor of Hawaii and MSNBC and CNN blame global warming. So it kinda is Trump’s fault.

I have a friend that lived there for ten years. He told me that "Eventually, perfect weather, every day, will drive you insane."
