thousands of homes burnt , 100+ dead

You would think living right next to the ocean a fire of this magnitude would never happen.

Very sad , for the people that lost their lifes =RIP

Hawaii sits on the volcano line that is always at risk of eruption disasters. Plus, the island's in the middle of the Pacific that has higher risk of tornadoes and tsunamis causing huge damages.

Wildfire though has been a thing all over the Earth with the climate change taking an effect. :ohwell:

The worst has ever hit Hawaii are EF2 tornadoes, luckily. Those still causes substantial damages.

I read a lot of people drowned because they had nowhere to go so they jumped into the ocean in big numbers. Scary situation to be in.

You would think that but it's not the case. The worst fire disaster in modern recorded history is the 1923 Tokyo earthquake. Tokyo is not only next to the ocean(bay), it's partially built on water itself. Of the 150k that died, over 100,000 died by fire. The 2nd worst fire disaster was in 1857 also in Tokyo. The number of deaths for the worst fire disasters around the world ranked 3-25 still don't add up to the number of fire deaths of the 1923 Tokyo disaster.6-10,000 ethnic Koreans were also slaughtered during the fires because the Japanese thought they were setting fires and poisoning wells(not true) in attempt to help an opportunistic invasion from Korea

It seems people did jump into the ocean to escape fast-moving fire. There may be drowning cases since they had to stay in water for quite sometimes, but it seems most casualties are those who were unable to escape from the fire fast enough. We will know true data of casualties after the fire has died down and rescue and cleanup teams are able to work.

I didnt read anything about ocean drownings in that live article. although there was a bit about a quote regarding a Jesus apostle walking on water...

I appreciate the Wiki links ... but it sounded like your post was this fire was nothing compared to the above.
63 years ago a T. and 52 years ago a tornado.

Here in Wisc... we have many many tornado's in one year.

And Biden has no comment about it cause he doesn't care.

Orchestrated attack 100%.


Even residents are skeptical.


Another one of those that looks to make no sense in any way.

I believe he meant the deaths don't cause by drowning. You mentioned "a lot of people drown" while those articles only say they were "at risk of drowning". Different connotation. :confusedshrug:

Fair. I just said higher risk. Tsunami can do catastrophic damage like wiping a whole village down to the ocean that actually happened in South East Asia from that huge earthquake and tsunami some years ago. Also, in that list, even mild tornadoes are classified as ones, so yeah.

I can't remember how fast past POTUS responded to natural disasters. I somewhat remember W Bush's was slow thanks to Kanye.

In all seriousness, Jasper disrespected this tragedy by not embedding the YouTube video in his OP. He should've let somebody else create this topic.

Lets see what you posted:

Where in those articles does it state people have died from drowning?



Funny that you're tossing the word 'fake' around without actually citing a single death caused by drowning despite you claiming 'lots have.'

Once again you're proving how illiterate you actually are. Prove me wrong.
