OT People in Hawaii flee into ocean to escape wildfires that are burning a popular Maui tourist town

Jewish forces have been trying to dominate the Pacific for many, many years.

Pearl Harbor - few know it, but in 1941, 98.23% of Japanese people were Jewish!

It's no surprise that Maui would be their next logical target.

I believe we need to harden defenses around Knott's Berry Farm before they strike the mainland.

I've watched him play for years--"Harden" and "defense" do not belong in the same sentence.

Such a tragedy.

Lots of questions on how this could happen. Many of the victims are very angry.

It appears the strong winds took out the electrical systems that power the emergency sirens and phone systems. Then a fire started near the town fueled by the high winds.

One possible answer to consider to help prevent this from happening again, is to have the entire emergency sirens and phone systems backed up by a battery power supply. Especially in areas prone to high winds.

I can unequivocally say that statement is nonsense.

I once had Sushi in Israel. Their food is among the best in the world, but their Sushi is really really bad.

Now on a serious note, this is really really sad. Wind + Fire is not a good combination. Several years ago we were evacuated during the Cocos fire when Santa Ana winds and fire combined... It was not a great experience.
