Over 100 Dead: Hawaii wildfires: Spread fast with Hurricane Dora
[The flames were fanned by Hurricane Dora,
which passed by the south of Hawaii - gusts of wind up to 65mph (100km/h) hit the islands earlier this week.] Spoiler: [Lahaina is a historic town on the western tip of Maui. Its centre dates back to the 1700s and is on the US National Register of Historic Places. At least 270 buildings have been destroyed in the picturesque resort, which is home to about 12,000 people.] Hurricane Dora caused it to spread far across the island wrong time for a Fire. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-66465570 |
My daughter-in-law and the three kids live on Maui.
Rather concerning, I have been out of touch with them for a little while as our son is having marital issues. |

Time to make contact…hope they are ok. |
Damn i was in Maui this time last year as well. Could have been me.

Death count is 36
many had boats to escape the Island Ch4HDnews showed tourist panic breathing having to run. The Massive Wind Gusts changed it all. Many now have no power. The Island of Maui is still on fire |

Yes sad the Hurricane was the big booster to all the flames |

Hope you can stay in touch. Sad that Fantastic Island had that Hurricane lifting the Fires so fast. Dora has now moved away |
67 now dead.
Sadly, 100's are missing so the death toll with rise. Due to the Winds the Fires burnt phone lines and all Internet went down, so many were not alerted in time A lady (Alice Lee) spoke Live from Maui, Hawaii. The Hurricane Dora Effected Maui the worst. Searchers are now using Dogs On Ch4HDnews |

It will be 100's after all the bodies are located Yes but if a kid started a fire they would not know the Hurricane Dora would stay too long. There are bitter poor folk on that island |
One lady was seven months pregnant
she had loads of stuff bought, all was left behind as she ran for her life. Good SkyNewsHD has their North of England Lady reporter there Currently based in the USA. Sad BBC as sent their up market Hollywood blonde lady reporter (she lacks emotions). |
The Emergency Sirens
never went off Thats why so many died No TV/No Power/ No Siren? SkyNewsHD shocking report. |
[The cause of the fires has not been determined]
Something stinks, here by now they know how the Fire was started but refuse to say it. Whoever started the Fires is the killer, that is wanted by Police. |
Reporters were at the Press Conference
Had the Police Chief saying they could not let people back in some areas He stated they were picking up dead people in bits, so it will take as long as it does |

Many Died as No Outside Siren went off. ["The sirens should have been sounded, " said Sherlyn Pedroza in Lahaina. Ms Pedroza, 20, lost her family home in the fire last week. "It would have alerted at least some people stuck at their house - work was off, school was off - it would have alerted them to get out." As she finished speaking, Ms Pedroza and her friend, Heather Tabilin spotted a neighbour from Lahaina, Alfred "Uncle Al" Dasugo, who they had not seen or heard from since the fires. They ran to him crying and hugged him. "We didn't know if you made it," Tabilin said. Uncle Al just smiled.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-66540472 |
The man in charge of the Siren has
resigned, on his health grounds |
Disgusted how this story has fallen off the headlines yet we had to hear about the turkey earthquake for weeks on end.

Surely as temps rise , more droughts etc Then as certain areas are far drier than normal they are like tinder boxes .. It all seems quite logical to my mind Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
