HawaiŹ»i is currently in the midst of a natural disaster if you didnt know
Apparently there isnāt much news coverage of this outside of the islands
Towns are flooded, homes destroyed and collapsed, roads collapsed, lives at risk, gas leaks from the flood damage
Haleiwa and Waialua are currently evacuated because the 120 year old dam is at risk of bursting
Mind you that damn is owned by Dole. Theyve known about it needing to be fixed for years and years and years. Despite having more than enough money they refuse
The state has been trying to buy it out from them for years so they can fix it, but the sale hasnāt gone through
Keep in mind that the Dole family were the ones who illegally imprisoned Queen LiliuŹ»okalani and illegally overthrew the monarchy.
If I see another goddamn person say how sad this is for the tourists whose ātrips were ruinedā and compare a messed up vacation to people losing their homes, belongings, and livelihoods, Iām going to lose my mind
I am so lucky that my family or friendās are safe and the few whose houses flooded didnt have it too bad, but so so so many were not as fortunate
If you havenāt heard anything about this until now, I suggest looking into it
The sirens didnāt go off until the flood had been going on for hours. Our state government is spending so much money on a fucking monorail we donāt need rather than fixing the infrastructure.
Itās been the locals and Kanaka doing the most to help get people to safety from the start
I donāt really know how to end this
I just need to know people are aware
I need to know people are seeing whats happening
