I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!
Let's be realistic can the locals and lifelong Hawaiians even afford to rebuild? I heard they are getting priced out like crazy and this shyt is not making it better
On the news they said it came out of nowhere, no warnings like usual

I understand the dire situation. But it would have taken less than 30 seconds for people passing by to collect that woman and put her in the back. If she was my relative, I would've been extremely grateful if someone collected her even if she was dead, so that I can easily identify her body, then try to identify through DNA remnants of burned bones and ash a month later. But not everyone is selfless and I understand that and also don't hold it against them.
no fr yal underestimating this stuff like crazy
like you can be a LONG ways away from a wildfire and *still* feel the heat. "just hop out the car and grab someone" is right up there with telling folks to "just run through the housefire to get out the building" "the flooding don't even look that bad, just walk through it" "the snow will let up eventually, i'll be back in quick"
im not even saying this to talk down to folks - but to really try and paint a picture. through the screen, you're not feeling it, not fighting through smoke at a standstill, not hearing reports of people getting encircled by the minute, etc.
the first time i was dealing with a wildfire was over 10 years ago. the only natural connection your mind can make when seeing a mountain on fire is thinking you're looking at a tidal wave that's actively cooking you before it even gets to shore.
and when you're looking through bodies in the aftermath its almost always the same shyt. people are trying to do something like the force of nature on your neck is secondary. trying to finish packing. trying to get wrangle the dog. trying to make sure the place is locked up before they pull out. going back for a phone charger. putting on makeup. etc. its not campfire, convenient flames out there.

It’s never going to be the same again. Rich people are just going to buy it all up and it’ll just look like every other beach city soon.

It's Maui. Developers right now are licking their lips at the opportunity to rebuild on land given up by locals who can't afford to rebuild. I visited Oahu and thought it looked like Paradise, even compared to the Carribean. Maui is on a hole nutha level compared to Oahu.

If they opened that door all that shyt that made her pass out would've filled that car up in seconds
....no wonder the death toll keeps rising when muthafukkers have zero survival instincts. Get your whole family suffocated trying to be a hero brehs

And yet they were all fine getting from wherever the fukk they were TO their car.
30 seconds wouldn't have been enough, you ever been close to a fire pit or a flaming grill?? Add that plus take away most of your visibility and ability to breathe THEN you have to lift a dead person carry them and put them in your trunk? When's the last time you lifted 140-180lbs of uneven weight, keeping in mind the whole time everything around you is burning and exploding AND the cars behind you are honking the horn possibly pushing your car out of the way.
Trust me at first when I saw the video I thought the same as you but after giving it further thought there would have been nothing any of us could have done
They probably drove in to that neighborhood from a safe, cool place.
One survivor tried to drive his truck and escape and abandoned it because the heat from the fire (which he says was several blocks away at the time) was so intense that his truck felt like an oven and cars next door started to explode without direct flame.
Maui is a bit bigger (700 sq miles) than the city of Houston (600 sq miles).
It feels bigger because it has a massive dormant volcano that disappears into the sky. It takes up so much of the island and has different climates all around it. The crater at the top (10,000 ft altitude) has its own climate…cold as fukk, volcanic rocks and rare plants everywhere, almost feels like Mars. I went up there once to look at the full moon. There was a native Hawaiian group gathered in a tent doing chants and songs.
Maui is one of my favorite places in the world. I hope Lahaina and the rest of Maui recovers with the least amount of native displacement as possible. Maui has significantly less commercial development than Oahu, so I’m a bit more confident their local government will keep the natural vibes that island is known for
Edit: also notice how Iao valley is less than 10 miles away from Lahaina. iao is a lush tropical rainforest valley with waterfalls and dramatic mountainous peaks

People were in the ocean to protect themselves from the flames and heat but people on the Coli wanted them to rescue dead people.

I live in Fresno and when the Sequoias are on fire we feel it over a hundred miles away. The ash and soot in the air is terrible. The heat is the least of your worries. Breathing gets difficult as fukk. Most people are out of shape and lose their breath and struggle to walk if the temperatures reach 90 degrees.
