NuttBoxer says
referring to Tesla as the father of electricity.
Tesla had some great accomplishments but was hardly the "father of electricity." These terms were invented by Ben Franklin during Ben's experiments with electricity:
battery
charge
condensor
conductor
plus
minus
positively
negatively
armature
Also, that AC current Tesla is famous for was well developed by English, French, Russian, and German inventors long before Tesla came into the picture. Saying Tesla is the father of electricity is like saying Henry Ford is the father of the automobile.
Some dumb, uneducated asshole "journalist" - you think he made any effort to find out if it was true? It's not true.
Concrete building with sprinklers - check.
Lush, constantly wateres vegetation - check.
Generous clearance on 3 sides with ocean on the 4th - check.
Why would it burn? If it did, THAT would be suspicios AF.
So the sprinklers worked during the fire, when they turned off all the water? They prevented the extreme dry conditions that occur in the air during a fire? And the entire building is made of material that does not burn, it's 100% brick? And obviously you still haven't read anything as you aren't aware of the boats that burned on the water...

Like I said Tesla's biography. So you're calling him a liar. Also his opinion on Einstein...
FEMA Holds Employee Trainings on ‘White Supremacy’ As More Than 1,000 Hawaiians Remain Missing

FEMA Holds Employee Trainings on ‘White Supremacy’ As More Than 1,000 Hawaiians Remain Missing
Disaster agency's diversity presentations say 'white supremacy' is 'ingrained in nearly every system'
At this point, various major news sources have reported these additional inconvenient facts, all omitted from the county’s lawsuit:
• Firefighters abandoned a still-burning bush fire while hurricane force winds were blowing over it. The wildfire started shortly thereafter.
• An emergency management official failed to sound the sirens that would have warned people of the fire and need to evacuate.
• Another official refused to allow firefighters access to water to put out the fire for five hours, demanding submission of an “environmental impact statement.”
• Police literally blocked off the only exit out of Lahiana was literally and turned cars back toward the flames.
• Officials ordered kids to leave school and go back home where they were left alone.
• Hawaiian officials still refuse to definitively say how many children have been reported missing. ...
It’s still too early to say, but the Maui disaster is shaping up to be as perfectly horrible an example of woke incompetence as you could possibly ask for.
In deadly Maui fires, many had no warning and no way out. Those who dodged a barricade survived
As flames tore through a West Maui neighborhood, car after car of fleeing residents headed for the only paved road out of town in a desperate race for safety.
And car after car was turned back toward the rapidly spreading wildfire by a barricade blocking access to Highway 30.
One family swerved around the barricade and was safe in a nearby town 48 minutes later, another drove their four-wheel-drive car down a dirt road to escape. One man took a dirt road uphill, climbing above the fire and watching as Lahaina burned. He later picked his way through the flames, smoke and rubble to pull survivors to safety.
But dozens of others found themselves caught in a hellscape, their cars jammed together on a narrow road, surrounded by flames on three sides and the rocky ocean waves on the fourth. Some died in their cars, while others tried to run for safety.
If the roof is made of non-flammable material (metal, ceramic or concrete tile, etc) the building will not catch fire from embers
Care to revise your bullshit dismissal you two..?

Seems this particular resort was sporting some additional protection beyond what you describe. How interesting that it just happened to be scheduled to wrap up right at the beginning of August. Of course the page no longer exists outside the archives...

CONSTRUCTION NOTICE: Lahaina Shores Beach Resort will be having exterior waterproofing construction starting on April 10, 2023, and to be completed by August 04, 2023.
The building could be even wooden, but covering it in stucco makes its walls resistant to embers. If the roof is made of non-flammable material (metal, ceramic or concrete tile, etc) the building will not catch fire from embers, unless they get in through open windows or doors. This is where sprinklers come into play and I'm pretty sure resorts like that have fire supression systems by code. These high-rises are made of steel and concrete though. The boats burned on the water were not stucco, concrete or metal - they were made of wood and/or plastic. Drop some embers on them - and they're done. Dry conditions are irrelevant - if the surface is non-flammable it will not catch fire no matter what. Drop some embers on lush grass which has been watered twice a day and all you get is maybe poxmarks here and there.

Exterior waterproofing. Doh!
It could work as a definite proof that Schwab is planning to drown everybody in Lahaina though.

Called 17 minute fire by locals because once it reached the town, burned everything down in 17 minutes.
When firefighters finally responded, no water at the hydrants.
Emergency response system did not activate, so no warning people were in danger until they heard the screams or felt the heat, and by then was too late.
Thousands unaccounted for according to locals.
Direct energy weapon research facility located very close to the town.
Head of facility bragged about getting the first direct energy weapon fully functional in only 18 months.
Wind was blowing from inside the island out to the sea, not common.
Governor forcing sale of land.
Residents get $700
Police that showed up blocked only road out of town.
FEMA has blocked all outside aid
Biden tweet that says they are laser focused on providing relief!? Can anyone verify if this is legit, would be fucking salt in the wound.
Ryan Cristian interviewed someone from Maui, he does not make claims without doing extensive research. This looks like warfare to me.
