They're going to blame the corporations over their own government who did not do their civil obligation to protect the natural resources?

 

Refusing to burn, refusing to take care of the grasslands and woodlands, and simply allowing overcrowding to occur is sad.

 

Insurance will offer a payout and hopefully he power company ups the charges back on the people.

Was playing a trip to Kaanapali Beach(just north of Lahaina) and Oahu for the spring, and just changed our plans to Oahu only because of the crazy cost of hotels on Maui. As it turns out, we now would not be going to Maui either way.   😞

 

 

Stayed there twice, spent a lot of time in Lahaina while visiting.  It is/was my favorite place in the world.  So beauitful, loved the island vibe

Sleazy real estate developers looking to take advantage of people who have lost everything by trying to buy up their property that has been burned to the ground…and I would venture to guess it is well below market value.

I'm wondering how much an ocean-front house in Hawaii is worth.

 

Most of the residents will probably sell their property to Oprah and move to a lower cost of living state, like Texas.

This “gem” in the center of Lahaini sold two years ago for 825k.

I get the buy low sell high concept but these sharks are quite simply gross. These people lost every possession they had.. ***** all of these scumbags.

Evidently you can put questions in Customer Service forum but no one but moderators can see it.

Maybe it was abused in past by spammers.

 

Defeats purpose of creating thread to help out with frequent question.

Horrifying. The local news has been consumed by this and you just can't take yourself away from each individual horror story.

 

Gonna end up being the worst fire in American history. Shouldn't happen in modern times.

 

We're super dry in the state generally, though. Wednesday I drove next to a brush fire on Wednesday in Wahiawa that burned 450 acres. Today I heard there was another brush fire on Old Farrington Road between where I live and where my in-laws live.

 

@GoBills808 I'm glad you and your farm are okay. Big Island so frequently gets hit hard... glad you were spared of this.

 

Need the rainy season

Check out all the combustibles around that house!  They didn't do what this house did and the reason why this house survived:

Who's fault is it why the other houses burned? Some will view this being the hand of Providence... It's the proper hand of humans. Serendipity at best, maybe the structural elements weren't added for fire protection, but they served as fire protection features.  Can they learn from it?
