But the "reason" they wouldn't use seawater is actually to prevent further fires. You drop seawater on a fire, the saltwater kills the vegetation remaining and makes the fire danger that much worse.

Didn’t know that. Makes sense.

We couldn’t get major homeowner’s insurance in Louisiana, had to have underwritten insurance that we had never heard of, and we were in Flood Zone ‘X’.. meaning it’s not likely to flood.. that was post Rita/Katrina.. and people using the federal money to build up higher to buy fishing boats lol

We're not in a flood zone either and our insurance went up 50% this year. And that was a good outcome comparatively. At least we can still get insurance. For now.

I have an idea, start a genuine go fund me for the Maui survivors to help make sure they do not have to sell their land.... and see if the powers that be are ok with that. I mean if it's all on the up and up why would they care? I mean surely they wouldn't want them broke and desperate would they? Haven't we been told all this time how desperately government wants to help "native Americans?"

I'm all for helping other people kill Russians, but at some point the government needs to say enough is enough, lets use this "money" here at home.

Most homeowners policies are going to cover wildfire. That's not to say that insurers may try to avoid areas succeptible to wildfire just as they might hurricanes other natural disasters.

Think some insurance companies are doing that in CA.

Question. Do most homeowners policies cover loss from a wildfire? I know for flooding, sink holes and earthquakes separate policies or riders have to be purchased to cover those losses.

In Tennessee …. Yes. Wouldn’t shock me if that’s not the case in CA… you may have to buy a coverage for wildfires separately….

Flood insurance and homeowners insurance are wholly separate. No one is requiring you to carry flood if you're in a X zone.

Yes, sinkholes and catastrophic ground collapse would be covered, so would fire.

Why Is There Such A Frenzy To Buy Up The Properties That Were Just Burned Down During The Fires In Hawaii? | ZeroHedge

Can you imagine calling up a family that has just seen their home burn to the ground and offering to buy their land for below market value? This is apparently happening in Hawaii right now on a massive scale. Grieving property owners are being bombarded with calls from very greedy people, and I think that says a lot about the current state of our society. We literally worship material possessions and financial gain, and the sheer greed that we are witnessing at this moment is absolutely staggering.

This Tweet is deleted for making false claims on Gates's house being in Hawaii.
The comment section says it's a picture of his house in Seattle, WA.
I apologize for posting false content.

The horrors of capitalism...some of these people are in a position where they are going to need to sell now and will take them up on it. The people who don't need to sell are offended. The people who desperately need to cash out are going to take the best offer because that's what they need to do for their families, regardless of how gross it seems. This Zero Hedge homey is throwing stones at others who are offering solutions, and I'm sure he is doing all he can to help people in Maui.

Deserves it's own thread. this is just the weirdest story and getting weirder by the day.

How is there already a book written, edited and published in 7 days? I mean are the burnt corpses of the kids even cold yet?


How strange is it that current Maui Police Chief John Pelletier was the incident commander during the Las Vegas massacre in 2017? Brought his Deputy from there as well.
Conservatives Alarmed After Report That Current Maui Police Chief Was Incident Commander During 2017 Las Vegas Massacre | The Gateway Pundit | by Cullen Linebarger

Locals say they have never ever had a storm come from the east before, everything about this storm was odd.

Why are they now blocking aid to the people? Is it just a coincidence that large investment groups have been trying to buy up the local indiginous Hawaiians property without success? I supposed it's also just a coinky dink, they have plans to make Maui a test site for 15 minute smart cities, and have the entire island locked down via cameras and teh rest of the big brother technocratic controls.

How many people really died? Why do they seem to be blocking press, and truth of what happened?


They seem to be slow walking the real deathtoll which may easily be over 1000 dead, many of them kids who were at home as schools were closed.



I know there's alot of talk about DEWS etc..... I don't know about any of that, and have doubts to say the least. However it doesn't take sci fi conspiracy to see the realestate play here. It's right up there with giving small pox laden blankets to indians, or every other pinkerton story when someone was in the way of the railroad.

IDGAF about Maui. Give the whole of Hawaii back to the natives, take away their statehood, and call it a day.

When in Maui, we drove from arid countryside to a rainforest in like 60 minutes, IIRC.

The natives don’t want to be Americans and want all their land and culture back. We should accommodate this. Then they can go back to living in huts and fishing and collecting coconuts all day with no electricity or running water. Hawaii is nothing more than a leftist welfare state.
