Gonna be moving back over to @krishansonRCF, so if we became Twitter buds over the last 17 months, give that account a follow, otherwise you’ll hurt my feelings and I’ll take it personally.
Also will be trying to follow everyone on that account as well.
We back, baby!
@jimmyclarke11 I'm glad that Kendall in Kentucky has opinions about an area she's probably never been to while she desperately tries to farm for engagement while very likely over 100 people are dead and nearly 2,000 homes are destroyed so she and you can push an agenda though.
@jimmyclarke11 Lahaina is dry. It is very dry. Like, even more dry than Southern California. It has a lot of dry brush. A downed power line in the right spot will very likely start a fire in a place like West Maui. It does not take a smart person to realize that. And winds push fires.
@jimmyclarke11 If you care about them, don’t spread conspiracies about DEWs or whatever when actual humans died and lost their homes. It was very windy. Power line poles snapped. Dry brush caught on fire. Downslope winds pushed the fires into town. Don’t use deaths to push your agenda.
@jimmyclarke11@jfaycook Telecommunications and power was out before the fire. West Maui has bad cell service to begin with. But people were aware about how crazy the wind was. People were caught off guard but they would’ve been caught off guard even if there were sirens or a text message.
@snarkyjarky@jimmyclarke11 It's very very very very likely not close to 1,000.
But yes, let them find the bodies, not double count, and confirm them. The numbers are gonna get higher.
@shaunlita@JimFergusonUK you moron, Lahaina IS a 15 minute city. It takes like 10 minutes to ride a bike from the furthest north end of Lahaina to Front Street. I've walked from the north end to the central part in 20 minutes.
@jddubb23 Telecommunications and power was out by early afternoon. The sirens might not have even been working.
Totally support finding out what happened and how to make it less likely to happen in the future but don’t think starting a blame game is helpful either.
@jddubb23 Yep. It’s tragic but it’s not like there was a fire miles and miles away and they could’ve evacuated the town because you know it’s headed your way. To your point, yeah, highway 30 has traffic midday on a Tuesday. It was a horrible set of circumstances.
@Julesd691217711@RodMakeKidsBald@ToddCefaratti_@leslibless There’d be no reason for it to be open. People aren’t allowed in the town. The workforce lost their homes.
It’s not a conspiracy. The fire probably had multiple starting points because of downed power lines. Winds were like 75-80mph before the fire started.
@Julesd691217711@RodMakeKidsBald@ToddCefaratti_@leslibless Safeway in red, strip mall in blue.
The housing below is new as well but I’m guessing the waterway helped create a fire break. Also the fire could’ve had multiple ignition points. So north Lahaina and the southern/historic part could’ve been from separate sources.
@Julesd691217711@RodMakeKidsBald@ToddCefaratti_@leslibless It’s not. Satellite images show the residential areas to the north burned. The new residential area to the south didn’t burn and neither did the strip mall across the street. Safeway seems fine.
