"As of 2 September, 385 people were officially believed to have died in the fire."

There are still more than 1000 children missing.

The water wasn't unavailable because above ground pipes burned. The water was shut off. The sirens were not sounded. The police blocked the streets out of town. The schools shut down and sent kids home. The buses from the school all ended up across the island near a cement plant where known subterranean tunnels are sited. Anomalous temperatures that are not at all usual to wildfire caused glass to melt in vehicles that lacked surrounding fuels to produce substantial heat, 2500F to melt glass. Scores of people died in their cars on the roads police blocked. The burned properties are walled off and their owners are prevented from possessing their property. Officials continually lowball the numbers of deceased, and also refuse to condemn the water being shut off, or the sirens failing to alert people to the danger, and do not even comment on the police roadblocks that prevented people from fleeing the fire, or continue to prevent their access to their property. The state has stated it's intention to acquire the burned property, regardless of the willingness of people to sell it. FEMA is blocking emergency supplies from reaching survivors, and people claim water supplied them isn't potable, but in fact is tainted and causing illness. Insurance companies are refusing to pay on policies they sold.

Few events produce so much evidence of malfeasance as the Lahaina fire has.

Thanks!
