Wonder what is going on in Maui?

Copied and pasted from another thread:

" Been reading online accounts that situation on Maui much worse than reported

Then today I received an email from our property manager (we have a condo there, luckily not near the fires) who lives on Maui. I trust this person. This is a part of the email the person sent to us and other property owners:

โ€œ The situation is far beyond desperate right now and I will share the TRUTH with you. It feels like rescue efforts are being blocked! It feels like the situation in Puerto Rico after the hurricane.

Supplies are being prevented from coming to shore, including insulin! The Kanakas (Haawaians) brought boats out of the harbor over to Lahaina to bring people out. they were told NO, that they had to wait for permits and the Red Cross! The kanakas said NO- our people are there and we are getting them out! They brought boats over every hour on Wednesday to rescue people. Currently they have brought in the National Guard who is BLOCKING the road in and OUT! No one is allowed out of Lahaina right now. The people have no electricity. No water. The water is also contaminated! Elderly care center (2 of them) with 40 people- all dead in their beds. Over 400 body bags taken out yesterday am. SO MANY MORE dead, still there. So much more....

Where is the help? Jeff Bazos donates 100 Mil and we have people with no water and electricity and hazardous conditions. Who is in charge of this money that hge so publicly announced?

Where is the military? We have several huge bases just on Oahu. They could airlift people out or bring supplies. WHERE ARE THEY???

I am not meaning to upset you, I NEED to tell the truth because the world is being lied to and I'm witnessing it!โ€

I know we've got at least one Bitcoiner on scene - I wanna know what the deal is from someone I know can be trusted. If it's as bad as this makes out there needs to be hell to pay.

Just saw this - not in a bath, on a yacht, but don't think that's posh - she's older than me and as battered by the years as me ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yeah, south coast - it's been miserable, not even good enough for getting repairs and maintenance done most of the time, still I'll probably have her fit to potter about on short trips before the end of the season. Do you sail then?

It might not look like it but the day has actually improved - gotta accept that this is probably as good as summer gets here this year...

Off to make some more jam later as well as getting another batch of wine under way. Another few weeks and I'll brew some ale again. Plus we have the chilli sauces to make yet. Busy year for practicing and learning self sustainability.

That's the sort of capture I want - I've got no chance this year given the weather

How long was each exposure? I miss doing night photography

I'm going to twitter for news events in certain subjects but not engaging any more. All my social engagement now is here

Bloody hell, I thought you all had it okay, I've got mates down in Mรกlaga and pre Bat Flu I was regularly down that way...

It's a dream and an ambition to one day dig up some metal and turn it in to something useful. Doesn't matter what. I just want to drag it from the ground and turn it in to something I can use. #LifeGoals

Yeah, kinda sucks that we're suffering without a summer down here while Europe gets to actually boil though. Bastards. Did you hear about that volcano? Probably got another year or two of thos crap yet ๐Ÿ˜†

Good morning #nostr & #bitcoin fam, hope it's a good one...just poked my head out the hatch and it's a bit dank so I'm just gonna curl up, nice and quiet, in the cabin and listen to music. Hope y'all enjoying your Sunday ๐Ÿ‘

Getting hard to stay awake, listening to some music as the water rocks me gently back and fowards.

Peace and love to my #bitcoin and #nostr fam, y'all keep doing great things ๐Ÿ‘
