Don’t think that’s what’s happening here tho. Fires do happen with dry grounds & strong wind. Same with Canada. Canada stopped “control burns” yrs ago, & we turned into tinder-box-disaster waiting to happen. Now disaster has happened, & Canada 🇨🇦 is on fire cause of lack of control burns.
Hawaii can’t do control burns, it’s an island. Islands also lack fire resources to control huge natural disasters like what occurred. Also island phone communications were knocked out, which also made issues 1,000 x worse. Tortuga (npub1e3m…qvr5) has great post on this.

quoting note129c…2yh0I’m seeing a lot of misinformation being spread about the tragedy in Hawaii this week.
People are suggesting direct energy weapons, or other such conspiracies as the cause of the blaze. Unfortunately this is most likely just opportunistic social media personalities trying to increase their audience and influence.
The facts are probably much more simple, high winds and power lines. Dry grasses, high winds and embers being blown. A dense community with lots of wood framed houses and roofs.
An under resourced community overwhelmed by the forces of nature, in a state where counties are divided by surrounding waters making coordination and cooperation difficult and time consuming.
