Another global tragedy. These occurances are now becoming more frequent and that has to alarming.
This reminds me a bit of the Greenfell fire aftermath. The body count started low and kept creeping up.
Made me think the authorities knew how many but didn’t want to shock people so they slowly increased the total fatalities count.
Also, it seems that there were some mistakes made that the place couldn’t get evacuated in time to save more lives.
That and the sirens not working.
What a feckin mess!

It moved a mile a minute, blimey. Some serious questions about how the warning system failed. Sounds like it hit people before they even knew they were in danger.

And yet idiots with mobile phones stand close because it’s more important to get videos for social media feeds
Current death toll is up to 99.
It’s been shown that this video is from Cleveland, not Maui. Better to block that guy as he’s only in it for the clicks.
Cleveland’s claim to fame is that it had to send the fire trucks to go & put out the river.
Thanks for the tip. Hellacious environment regardless of where it might be located.

Human kindness knows no limits...
That sure does warm the cockles.
Greed is what made Hawaii part of the US anyway, so no surprise there.

This is hard to accept and all we can hope for is that they were a comfort to each other.Tweet

We're bang in the middle of wildfires all around us in Eastern Washington state. People have lost everything less than 20 mile from me. The wind picked up on Friday and got so bad you wouldn't be able to outrun the fireside.
Complete shitshow out there.
