In A Nod To The Apocalypse, People In Hawaii Are Hurling Themselves Into The Ocean To Escape The Raging Wildfire Flames On The Island Of Maui
The wildfires raging out of control in Maui are so catastrophic, some residents are hurling themselves into the ocean to escape the apocalyptic flames.
The wildfires that have engulfed the island of Maui in Hawaii right now are so intense that people are running into the ocean and casting themselves in, that’s how bad it is. That imagery is very much like how things will be during the great Tribulation, when God’s physical judgement begins falling from the sky. What’s happening in Maui is not the actual apocalypse, but pray for the Hawaiian people and this terrible situation.
“And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:” Revelation 6:15,16 (KJB)
Eyewitnesses described an apocalyptic scene Tuesday in Lahaina town, where residents were forced to jump into the harbor waters to avoid fast-moving flames from a massive brush fire that’s destroyed much of the historic area — and continues to burn. The vast majority of wildfires are caused by human interaction, but you can fully expect to see this as a rolling advertisement for climate change. We will keep you updates as this breaking news story continues to unfold.
‘It’s apocalyptic’: People jump into the ocean to flee Maui wildfires as patients overwhelm hospitals and 911 gets cut off
FROM CNN: Even emergency crews might not be able to help as the infernos – fueled in part by Hurricane Dora churning some 800 miles away – have cut off 911 services and communications in Maui.
“911 is down. Cell service is down. Phone service is down” Hawaii Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke told CNN on Wednesday morning.
“Our hospital system on Maui, they are overburdened with burn patients, people suffering from inhalation,” she said. “The reality is that we need to fly people out of Maui to give them burn support because Maui hospital cannot do extensive burn treatment.”
The disaster also has wiped out power to about 14,000 homes and businesses in Maui, according to PowerOutage.us. Clint Hansen took drone video Tuesday night that showed wildfires spreading just north of Kihei. “Lahaina has been devastated,” Hansen told CNN.
“People jumping in the ocean to escape the flames, being rescued by the Coast Guard. All boat owners are being asked to rescue people. Its apocalyptic.”
A dozen people were rescued near Lahaina after “entering the ocean due to smoke and fire conditions,” the Coast Guard and county officials said. “Individuals were transported by the Coast Guard to safe areas,” Maui County officials said.
And it’s not clear where the disaster will head next.
Maui fire officials warned that erratic wind, challenging terrain, steep slopes and dropping humidity, plus the direction and the location of the fire conditions make it difficult to predict path and speed of a wildfire, according to Maui County officials.
“The fire can be a mile or more from your house, but in a minute or two, it can be at your house,” Maui County Fire Assistant Chief Jeff Giesea said. “Burning airborne materials can light fires a great distance away from the main body of fire.” READ MORE
