Old Lahaina Town Utterly Destroyed - Recovery & Relief Efforts

[sistersue]

I just don't understand the failure of the emergency sirens.  Tragic failure.

I agree.  This is what haunts me the most.  If those sirens had gone off at 3pm Tuesday and the roads hadn't been blocked by "authorities", in my opinion, most of the lives would have been saved. I saw on CNN a man who said he called in the Lahaina fire at 6am on Tuesday because a power pole had fallen in front of his house and started a grass fire. If only they had used the sirens at 6am this could have been avoided.
