Wildfires are crazy there. Six dead so far, people being evacuated, hospitals maxed out, and some people running into the ocean. One official said it is “Apocalyptic”. Several people are unaccounted for.
Hugs for Hawaiians
That's awful. 😟
😢🥺🥺🥺
Wow, I didn’t know that! Praying for them!!
@CuddleHugs01234 Yeah a hurricane that went by left high winds 70-75 miles an hour that pushed the massive wall of fire through towns all the way to the sea in a matter of minutes.
Oh wow.
Thank you for bringing this to the Collective. I pray that the combined Aumakua of the people of the Island protect it from this.
Wish there was a way to help other than donating. Truly awful.

Oh my goodness. Thank you @BoomerSpooner for this thread. I was a little out of it and didn't realize the extent of things. So very sad. 😕
So much love heads out to those people and their families. Such an incredible tragedy. I was looking at a few things online and saw the greeting "Aloha" in a very different light. Its so incredibly thoughtful and beautiful.
You have to understand that Hawaiian culture is founded on love, on the spirit of aloha. All kinds of languages, especially Hawaiian, can be understood on many different levels or registers. You may think that the Hawaiian word “aloha” simply means hello and goodbye, but usually there is a far deeper meaning that can be translated as follows: “Alo” can mean both sharing and being in the present. “Oha” can indicate pure joy, or a joyous affection. “Ha” is our life energy, more literally it can mean life itself, or just breath. So, when someone greets you with aloha, they are facing you, they are present with you, presenting their “ha” to you, their breath, their energy and their life.

Wow, that’s so insane what’s happening in Maui/Lahonia and I imagine it’s terrifying if people are literally jumping into the oceans to get away knowing there’s sharks and all kinds of threats in the sea too. This almost looks like the Paradise, California fires from a couple years ago that completely demolished the whole community there. So terrible. I hope they get away in time to safer land.

People should listen to the accounts of people that survived are telling the truth. There’s something very fishy about this it’s not wildfires they are being set. If it’s a true wildfire, the media will put it on TV. They were not allowing people to come in to put the fires out. That’s very mysterious. I’ve been listening to accounts of people that were there. I imagine it’s the same happenings as the derailment in Palestine where they burned off a bunch of toxic gases. I’m not sure what’s going on, seems like it is done to decrease our ability to have fresh produce and to be efficient farmers. It seems like they want us to depend on them the government I know that seems far-fetched, but if you look at all the accidents and things that have been happening, it really seems to be true.
It doesn't pass the smell test at all. @KozyKim
This is very heartbreaking 💔. The current 😭 death toll is now 96. I'm praying 🙏 for everyone in Maui.
@KozyKim it may be worth reading this 1976 article on “War of the Weathers.” Although it doesn’t point to what the person in your link is alluding to as it relates to dew, it’s an interesting read all the same: https://www.nytimes.com/1976/04/17/archives/war-of-the-weathers.html
In researching the claims though, I do find it a bit disturbing how some families are saying they’ve been contacted by realtors & investors to buy up their property after their homes were burnt down.
