俺开始主动回单位上班。再待下去就废了。
现在死了超过六十了。这是发生在非封闭情况下。这如何解释发生在世界最先进国家。只有一种可能，疏导救援不到位

那就是一个标准的封闭环境嘛。人家是海岛啊。往哪里逃？？

Emergency sirens weren't activated ahead of deadly Maui blaze: Recap​

The search for missing people continues as crews make progress in the battle to contain the fire that killed at least 67 and laid waste to Lahaina. NBC News is on location covering the devastation.

Maui’s warning sirens were not activated as deadly wildfires approached the town of Lahaina, emergency officials said. Three other alert systems were implemented, according to Hawaii Emergency Services Administration.

Some survivors believe they were not sufficiently warned through emergency alerts as the crisis deepened, adding to the confusion in what has become one of Hawaii’s deadliest natural disasters.

Some residents were able to survey the damage, and what little has been left of their homes.

“It’s a war zone,” said Kimo Kirkman, who went back to get the remains of their two dogs and cat.

Others are still in the dark about whether their relatives and loved ones are alive or dead. There is no official number of missing known, and the death toll could go up as more remains are found in the wreckage of the town.

Gov. Josh Green and other officials on Saturday are expected to provide another update into the crisis, which he has said will most likely be the largest natural disaster in Hawaii’s state history (it became a state in 1959).

目前死亡人数89人，还会增长

现在自媒体推特里都在探讨这火烧的太奇怪太突然，几乎没有预警，一下子就烧过去了，各种阴谋论盛行啊。

太惨了，能找到这片齐腰深的海水避难也算这些逃离火海的受灾人的万幸了。

这个视频不错。

这下知道周边的海域有浅的地方，人暂时可以躲一下。如果这种情况下，政府没能及时来救，政府问题很大。

不过当时正好有风暴的时候，估计又不能下海，命啊。

这个火多点同时发生。美帝是不是该查查

万幸没有海啸，否则就是叫天不应叫地不灵
