After reading John Leake's Substack article "Goodbye Lahaina" I felt that some initial posts discussing the idea that Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) might have caused the Maui fire were just the usual conspiracy fantasies and that maybe the simplest explanation (gleaned from his article) that an unfortunate combination of a bone dry and relatively unprotected landscape, a wayward spark, and hurricane-like high winds were the best explanation for the apocalyptic devastation. However, when I dug deeper, I started to feel less sure. Like you said Cate, there are many things that don't match up and make the story much more complicated. My prayers go out to those directly affected, let's hope they get all the unconditional help they need.

So much gratitude, Cate. Yours is the best article I've read on the topic(s)--balanced, supportive, and supported by (a bit of) science. It is causal in the deeper sense of the "human parable."
