    There’s a reason it did. Those fires were propelled by incredibly fast winds, and spread much faster than emergency services anticipated. It basically jumped 70 miles over the course of an hour.

      Yea based on what I read I don’t think they had a clear emergency script for fires of this magnitude. Their sirens are configured for tsunami/earthquake and hurricane emergencies. And from what I’m reading they chose to send out communication through cell phones.

    Not robust enough. Two hurricanes heading their way too. Bye Hawaii 👋🏼

    There’s at least one event per year like this. Oh wait, more like 15-20 globally.

    Nobody travels so they don’t acknowledge nor recognize the signs.

    I’ve been watching the environment collapse from different parts of the world for 2 decades.
