Ohia trees are dying rapidly, Why?

[leilaniguy]

I had two large Ohia that died suddenly in May, had them removed. In the last two weeks six more have fallen, the latest in last Fridays' thunderstorm. One just missed our truck. We're still cleaning up. As you drive uphill from town you might notice from about mile marker 12 it looks like all the Ohia along the road are dead. I think OpenD has the closest theory to reality; fungus or a combination of factors including Vog.
