Incredible fires. Well over a thousand believe to have perished.
Fires hot enough to melt metal, alert system down, cellphone network not working at the time. Bodies can not be recognised without dna. Bodies can not be found without cadaver dogs.
WTF is going on there?

I suspect that the last time there was a fire of such intensity there were only a handful of people living there...and they simply went for a swim while it burned itself out.

People end up living in bad places. Some live in paradise.

Pics and videos I've seen (even on the BEEB) suggest this is a bit unusual.

The BBC will tell you it’s all about the climate emergency and how we are all going to die.
This suits their narrative.
A quick google search shows their have been fires there before but it was far less populated.

It's horrific. It is, or at least was, a beautiful little town. The Banyan tree was magnificent. Bit of a tourist trap but a pretty one.
The BBC, as they and most other orgs tell you not that any one event is about climate change, but that it increases the chances of events like these, when coupled with record fire season in Canada, for example, the hottest month on record, and record heat in the oceans.
Seems to have also been a case of non-native plants and such taking over as well. Also the utility not cutting the power. The Hurricane that drove the winds also seems to have been sustained across a much wider path than usual.
But don't let that intrude on your victim/conspiracy mentality.

This is the data on natural disasters over the last 100 years.

It doesnt make this one any easier to compute but we have so much less in the way of human impact.

Just spit it out. We know you want to talk about “what’s really happening” so come on, give us the latest conspiracy theory.

Gotta say the Hawaiian locals are known for being assholes.
Not the friendliest bunch.

The outrage network hasn’t decided what they going to be upset about yet. You can see them wandering around aimlessly waiting for instruction.

Twitter conspiracy theories on this largely surround Oprah and her ongoing acquisition of Maui real estate.

I had my wedding in Lahaina. Quite apt really as the marriage went up in flames as well.
