A theory about Lahaina
I searched 'bottled water in Hawaii', as I was curious about its prevalence in Lahaina, because if there are water shortages, naturally bottled water would be popular.
So, it seems from my brief search, it is popular. I'm just guessing very popular since it's so hot there.
So, you got wind, fire and water. What if the water contributed to the fires lethality by introducing steam into the firestorm? Rather than being scorched by dry heat, it was thick, scalding and incapacitating? And in this inferno, the three elements combined to spread faster, leave some areas untouched, and incapacitate people.
Ever drive your car in the rain, and it feels like your motor is purring right along? It really makes a difference. Some people put water injectors on their muscle cars to boost performance. The right amount of water vapor actually helps combustion.
So I'm thinking the water became steam and assisted the wind, which assisted the fire. And water is significant because the way it is stored in this situation. (Bottled)
