Money spent on tourism elsewhere in Hawaii will benefit these people because it is their state and it is state and federal aid that is being used.

Here, you lazy person Steve. i did the 2 seconds of work it takes to answer. Be more curious in your life! I hope the following isn't too confusing for you to understand. "Siren, noisemaking device producing a piercing sound of definite pitch. Used as a warning signal, it was invented in the late 18th century by the Scottish natural philosopher John Robison. The name was given it by the French engineer Charles Cagniard de La Tour, who devised an acoustical instrument of the type in 1819. A disk with evenly spaced holes around its edge is rotated at high speed, interrupting at regular intervals a jet of air directed at the holes. The resulting regular pulsations cause a sound wave in the surrounding air. The siren is thus classified as a free aerophone. The sound-wave frequency of its pitch equals the number of air puffs (or holes times number of revolutions) per second. The strident sound results from the high number of overtones (harmonics) present."

Had the alarms sounded, it would have alerted everyone, including ones who never saw it coming……so yes, I believe the alarms could have helped🫶🏻

It is basically a "quiet quitting" in disguise. The small grocery across the street has been repeatedly broken into. One night I heard noise and I actually got good pictures of the perp leaving with merchandise (I live in a fairly decent neighbourhood where one wouldn't expect such happenings). When the police finally arrived, I showed them the images and asked where should i send them and they just brushed me off. The owner of the storm has since put up steel reinforcement protections on the windows and front door out of his own pocket. So far , no incidents but it shouldn't have to come to that..

My heart goes out to the survivors of this disaster! One of the most common issues with emergency sirens is that the audible alarms are perceived as alarms for the same form of emergency, such as tornados, floods, and tsunamis. In most areas, there are no specific alarms for these kinds of massive fires. In my New England community, such alarms mean a local fire, alerting volunteer fire departments (e.g., "a 3-alarm fire", calling into action 3 or more fire departments to a local fire). IMHO, we need multiple alarms, one unique form or tone of alarm for specific emergencies, so that when you hear it, you know exactly what form of emergency it is.

Wow... this is tragic

In a Hurricane region its idiotic not to bury power lines which could easily be put under the streets. The Hawaiian islands are plagued by telephone poles being blown over and constantly causing blackouts, fires and transformer explosions. Its so bad that now in Oahu when wood poles are knocked over they are replaced with steel poles but they might take a major cyclone.

I have a question…if a person has only done the 1st vaccine when covid came out, and none of the previous boosters, is this new covid booster schedule to come out in September something to think about getting? Also, would it be better to get the pneumonia vaccine instead (especially for older people)?

Nice that NBC is keeping track of the Canadian wildfires in how they affect Americans but not a whole city, Yellowknife, larger than Lahaina.

There is also a mass evacuation of a city of 22000 people here in Canada, Yellowknife NWT and evacuations occurring in souther British Columbia

We are living in a time when you must prepare for things you've never seen or experienced prepare yourself and your family for water and food shortages and civil unrest these events are coming and don't think the Government is going to magically appear to save you because they won't Government has it's limitations during Major catastrophic events .

Now you see,this right here is what's wrong right now. We've had all kinds of warnings about exactly this situation, for YEARS. But we hide our heads in the sand and pretend that all this fuss about climate change is either worry about something so far in the future that it won't affect us in the here-and-now, or worse, that's it's flat out fake. Either way, communities across the planet need to stop dithering about what's causing it and take pro-active steps to ready themselves for situations just like this one, because whatever the cause, IT'S HAPPENING NOW.
