I hope so. But as I believe Pico said, I'm sure there are plenty of developers licking their chops at the opportunity and see the current destruction as an empty canvas. On one hand I'm sure it'll bounce back as an earner for the tourist economy which is essential to Maui, but are the right people gonna make out on it or will a bunch of outside investors capitalize on the opportunity?
Image below from here (click me).Did the bayan tree get torched? It must have. From the photos it looks black, but can't tell much. I imagine that's not a species that has adapted to wildfires like a sequoia.
That went from a a slice of paradise to Dante's inferno overnight.
I was thinking that too... I don't think I could just drive by and not at least quickly get out of the car to make sure she was dead. Maybe even throw the body in the back of your vehicle. Just terrible to think that perhaps she could have still had a pulse at that moment.Can't help but feel rage at the guys who drove past the woman, but we don't know the full context and what I would have done in that situation
I posted that early in the thread mocking climate deniers here on the erBB. This was before I knew the extent of the tragedy . And yes I do regret it now seeing how bad things are. Anyway, I'm prepared to own my mistake, apologies to anyone I may have offended.
Thank goodness he is all good! I know this zone really well used to live up the hill, your friend better keep the hose going cause the fires live in the lava tunnels beneath everything there and including all the homes. There was a huge fire there at Kawaihae Harbor about six years ago, the flames went all the way close to where your friends house is, they thought they had all the fire out, and I could see flames coming from out of a lava cave about to light a bunch of Keawe trees, called the fire department they came and handled it, said they actually thought it was all contained...
I was just reading watching all this, and wondering if launiupoko community was spared, I think Ole lived at the bottom of the hill there.
I felt the same thing. It would have taken 20 seconds to pull her into the car.Can't help but feel rage at the guys who drove past the woman, but we don't know the full context and what I would have done in that situation
That’s a tough one. It’s easy to play armchair quarterback and think we’d all be the hero in that situation while watching from the safety of our computers but the immediate danger they were in driving through those flames, seconds matter. Personally I’m not sure I’d share the video if it was me cause it is kind of a bad look. Prob hard enough to live with the fact that you left someone behind, but why share it with the world?
