I doubt sharks are hanging around that chaos anyway. I hope the casualties aren’t as bad as they look like from the videos. My BIL is on Oahu.

Quote HistoryQuoted: What the hell is up with that? Driving past a woman lying on the ground, immobile is just sick. Maybe there is more to the story, but who the hell does that? Should every car fleeing pull over and check every dead body while bugging out from a deadly wildfire? |

A concern with ever present cold and gravity may distort ones view on the risks in other hobbies. I windsurf and am in the water off Kanaha often. Sharks are not a big concern. (Avoiding another manowar is  )Is there an estimated fire casualty count yet? |

They probably were just filming out the window and didn't see her. There was a little chaos happening in the vehicle they were in, listen to all of them freaking out. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:. I wouldn't recommend trying to save that woman. You're essentially in a house engulfed by flame and you're in a protective bubble. Everyone in the car will die if the doors are opened. If the car is blocking the road, everyone driving behind them will die too. Kinda like casualties in confined spaces with toxic gas or manure farms. One person goes down. All the people trying to rescue them die too. I'm surprised the cars didn't stall out from lack of oxygen.  Attached File |

I've been to Maui many times. We went there on our honeymoon 30 years ago. Pineapple fields, green, lush, clean air and pretty friendly. Expensive but worth it.
Was there 5 years ago. Polluted air, traffic jams, hostility, pineapple fields gone, dry, brown and a real tinder box. And outrageously expensive. Swore we would never go back. This isn't surprising at all. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What are the odds a homeless encampment cook fire started it? Initial reports on Twitter - rumor, effectively - is that it started at an outbuilding containing a generator on Lahainaluna Rd, just above Lahaina town. They got that structure under control, but it ignited a brush fire that quickly spread due to the wind down into the town proper. |

I'm going to say that car seemed full of 'broz' and really didn't seem to be the hero type. My son has crawled into overturned cars, climbed down in ditches, and swam into deep water to save people. Unfortunately the deep water guy died and him and his swim buddy took it kind of hard. |
