Re: Maui Hawaiian catastrophe
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.

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

Re: Maui Hawaiian catastrophe
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 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.

Orchestrated attack 100%.
Even residents are skeptical.
Another one of those that looks to make no sense in any way.
