Something strange about the way cars started bursting into flames !!!
We are Paradise fire survivors we lost everything & we were thrilled for those that didn't loose their homes just as we are happy for your family & neighbors that you & your homes survived. We hope you realize your guilty shows how you care about others & their suffering & that is awesome but please let your guilt go. Maybe look at it like this because you have your home right down town it gives you the unique ability to keep an eye on things for those that did during the rebuilding. Maybe it will you give the opportunity to help others in ways you wouldn't have been able to had you lost it all to. Your heart is in the right place give yourself time to heal because you lost your town, you lost your sense of security & safety in your home to.
Thank you for the kind words 🙏
Thanks for putting this video up so we can see what happened and also for putting your most recent video up showing your neighborhood and the surrounding area. You never know how the wind and the fires will go and eventually burn out - leaving this and taking that… I’m so grateful that you and your loved ones made it out safely. ❤
We are so glad you all escaped and that your house survived. I know you must feel guilt, but just know you will be able to help others while they rebuild. Thank you for sharing your story. We are praying for Lahaina and Maui.
Have you not been listening to all the reports? The Governor there?
They have NO INTENTION OF ALLOWING THOSE PPL TO REBUILD. THEY PLAN ON TAKING THE LAND.
No one cares about his house.
800 kids died being released from school with nowhere to go but yay your house made it. Stop trying to profit
@@mchampgolf2619we don’t know yet how many children died.
It figures ,the house is blue , most blue things didn't burn
Jesse, so glad to know that you, your wife, and some of your neighbors are safe and with your homes still standing. I hope your hearts heal in time. Much love brutha, and God bless!
Thanks for sharing this hard story. Us mainlanders are praying hard for you and your family
Don't feel bad thank God you survived prayers for everyone 😢❤
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your story. Prayer sent to the people of Lahaina
Wow! I had no idea you had such a close call! I’m so glad Martha and you got out in time and your house wasn’t impacted by the fires.
You’re very blessed to be so fortunate. I see you moved there 15 years ago from mainland. Given that you’re a corporate resort real estate broker, please help your neighbors retain and rebuild THEIR land and not the corporate developers you work for. Mahalo.
I am an indépendant contractor and I do NOT work for any developers. I pride myself in helping people of all walks of life with equal treatment to all.
@@JesseGWaldSorry for making assumptions that you worked for corporate developers, I guess you independently find and sell land to corporate developers? Hope you use your skills in land brokerage to prevent land grab instead of capitalizing on it for clients. As you know stakes are high and nerves on edge in regards to land. Best of luck to your Ohana and recovery.
@@LivingVanlife Lol. No I don’t independently work for corporate developers. I work for private individuals of all race, religion and economic classes. Thanks for the well wishes.
@@JesseGWald you stated that in the last 8 years you have helped build luxury resorts in Maui and now advise clients on how to purchase land to do the same. With recent sales of $100 million. So who is the make up of your clients. Local Hawaiians?
@@LivingVanlife I worked as an Engineer and Architectural Consultant on large developments several years ago, my role had nothing to do with buying land. I guess you could spin this to mean that I worked for developers but the reality is I worked for an engineering firm. If I follow your line of reasoning then all the construction workers, many of whom are Hawaiian, also work for the large developers. Regardless of the semantics I certainly did not help any developers to buy land from local people as you are suggesting. Also, yes I have several local Hawaiian clients and enjoy working with them very much. Please do not project your assumptions on me and for the heavens sake have some compassion for my present situation. I just lost a town I loved with all my heart and many of the people that made the town so special. I am not the bad guy here.
Since day one, the intensity of the fire struck me as odd. Thermite which is a powder substance that burns upwards of 4000°F can melt metal and create a lot of smoke.
It can only reach a high enough temperature in a kiln. Lehaina was attacked (targeted) directly with DEW lasers. And those "winds" that everybody was fooled into believing was a "tornado"??? High energy lasers, especially coming from afar (space satelite) would definately create very strong pulses of wind (energy).
Agree. Plastic incendiary cluster bombs spreading chunks of burning thermite over the target area would get the job done. No need to invoke laser weapons which would be unlikely to work with all that thick black smoke around.
@@boristabacsplatt6609right after the fire , I saw some road crews scrapping some of the roads and later videos is easy to see the scrapes, removing evidence maybe ? They need to investigate
You don’t control the wind, my friend. Don’t feel guilty. Stay strong with the aloha and ohana spirit.❤️🙏
Thank you!
Squirrel Tribe reported on CHARTED windspeeds for this distant hurricane AND the one 5 yrs prior, that was only 150 miles away. The wind speeds for both..did not exceed 30mph on the island. But!.. there were winds greater than those?! Who controls the wind..?
@@clairecallas2238The National Weather Service (& NOAA-Nat'l Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration) and HAARP (High Altitude Aurora Project)
How in the world were the cars exploding?!?!?
Difficult report. The town needs you!
Yes it was! Mahalo for your consideration.
Even with all the videos and photos I still have a hard time believing all this. It was a perfect, hellish firestorm. Sir, I’m very happy for you and your wife and your home. I feel horrible for the people who lost their home and especially their loved ones.
From the Kennedy Assassination, to 9-11, to this, they seem pretty good at perfecting all of this.
@@SidFredrickson Who?
A perfect series of unfortunate events. The Maui Massacre had been planned for years. Stopped trimming trees and brush along the power lines years ago, did not shut down electric grid before winds arrived, Maui has the most extensive alarm system in the world that is routinely tested yet it was shut off for this event, government refused permission to use water to fight the fires; "A State Official Refused To Release Water For West Maui Fires Until It Was Too Late", victims barricaded within the burning city, escape routes blocked by cops that did not question illegal orders....
@animalmother9339 I’m sorry man, but I’m still not following you guys. I’m not a conspiracy theorist at all, despite being extremely conservative. I am not completely closed minded though. Anything is possible I guess. I think a lot of times people want to believe there is more to something than just a terrible chain of events that lead to death and destruction. I would go so far as to say bad decisions, pure stupidity, and simply not caring often Leads to very bad things. I guess the proper term for that is negligence or gross negligence? I think the people who are most responsible for stuff like this are the ones who hire unqualified people to be in charge of safety. For example, OSHA often gets a bad reputation for overkill but I have never minded that. I’d rather be inconvenienced with too many safety protocols, than be careless and die, or watch someone else die.
@user-bg2oi4bz3p If all that is true it totally raises my eyebrows and gets my wheels spinning. It’s just so hard for me to believe our fellow man would knowingly allow or cause so many deaths. I mean we are talking their own neighbors and possibly even family members perishing too, not just total strangers that a bad hearted person could depersonalize. I think everyone needs answers, for sure. And I’m sure I won’t be very popular for saying this, but I would not have faulted anyone for using deadly force to get past those barricades. And this is coming from someone who strongly supports law-enforcement.
We need it like it was but with water sprinklers and tire hydrants that work. Please keep Hawaii Maui lands for the people that have been there for generations.
I'm glad you and your wife are good and your home, 😊.
The very rich do not need to steal the land, they only need to help these people with all the loss.
I love Maui and will return don't sell the land to others with greed.
You can make a difference in real state. ❤
looks like Hardie board which is cement board fire proof
@@michaelmusson3593
"It looks like Hardie board which is cement and fire proof."
That's basically what he said in his "Miracle Neighborhood" video that his house has Hardie board and it has a higher fire rating. Also the entire neighborhood is new having been built within the past few years and has updated fire codes while most of the buildings that burned down were older construction with outdated fire codes. But there was one older building that stayed intact with only a few scorch marks on it. That was a miracle too because its roof was made entirely of thatch. So the fact that particular older building didn't burn down surprised him because of the flammable material it is made of. That's what I recall seeing in that video.
“Cars were exploding one by one in front of them “ no natural brush fire will ever do that … this was mass murder . Thank God you are ok and God bless all the souls that didn’t make it ,
I cant get over that. What that must've been like!!! This is mass murder! #FTNWO
Thank you, this is incomprehensible.. We mourn for Maui. Many blessings.
I’m so grateful that you and your wife were able to safely escape.
Your neighbourhood seems to be more modern than most of Lahaina and that might've saved you. With some luck as well. All the best for you and the Lahaina community in their effort to rebuild the town.
They also have very little foliage against the homes which is life saving during wildfires. Areas that are prone to wildfire really need to set codes that help homes not burn during fires. Be aware of what plants are like gas to fires and which are not. Residents need to be taught what yo be aware of during red flag warnings so they are better equipped to make quick decisions rather than depend on technology which is always the first yo get overwhelmed or in this case completely down and gone.
Hopefully this is the last wildfire where people lose their lives. God bless Hawaii
The fact that your neighborhood is standing when the neighbor's trash and fence was on fire is crazy to hear. Do you know if your neighbors stayed and was able to put it out? It seems like it would have travelled otherwise. Glad to hear you guys are all safe!
I agree! Our neighbor actually evacuated a few minutes before us so no-one was there to put out the fire. I was sure our home would be gone based on what I witnessed.
@@JesseGWald what, they just left the fire burning in their trashcan?
@@sappir26the water supply may have been off at that point
Glad you left. Some people stay behind to try to protect their homes and end up losing their lives
You have not hear of energy directed weapons? They work just Lisa a mitraliere but the pauses of the last is milliseconds . The modern weapon stops to recharge and of course chooses where to hit.
Isn’t that just nothing short of a miracle! One- that you guys got out with your car and 2.) wow this one is huge. That your home is still standing !!! I really like how humble you are in your video but I also hope that you open your home up to people who weren’t as blessed as you. I’m pretty sure that’s why your home was spared. It makes sense anyways. Do you need supplies ? I work at the post office and would be happy to sent anything you need !!! ❤
Thank you. Yes, I do plan to open the home up to others displaced by the fire in the future. For now there is no power and no water to the house and the entire area is filled with toxic fumes so it's really not safe to live in the house. No need for supplies at this time, the entire community has pulled together to chip in. I really appreciate the offer though!
@@JesseGWald I’m so sorry !! I didn’t think that there would be an awful mess and no power, nor water. Eventually there will be and hopefully they are on it !! In the meantime, please don’t hesitate for anything to ask !!! I would love to help !!! Even when you entails have house guests I’ll help with cash, whatever I just do t wanna send to the agencies since the people never get the money !! Until then… all my thoughts and prayers !! ❤️🙏🙏❤️
@@JesseGWaldplease please wear at least an n95 mask! It would be horrible to have survived that disaster, only to get cancer or lung disease from breathing in all those toxins. It’s similar air to what was in NYC after the towers collapsed. The particles are minute, but are still in the air.
@@JesseGWaldheartless Biden should offer housing to all that lost every thing
It seems that the lasers can't burn cars or houses that are the color blue. Various shades like your siding possibly.
You are so very lucky. I am glad that you and your wife (and neighbors) are ok. I am sure you feel guilt, as I would too. But all of the good that you will be able to do to help re-build your community and help your Hawaiian brothers and sisters will hopefully help with that guilt. You are very lucky and should feel no guilt. I am praying for you, Maui and all of its people. Let's not forget that all of these people will need our support long after the cameras and news crews go away. Keep supporting Maui in the days, weeks, months and years ahead. Let's keep giving back to a community that as tourists has given us so much ....... memories to last a lifetime! We love you Maui! #MauiStrong - Please donate whatever you can! The Hawaii Community Foundation is a trusted source.
I’m so happy you got out! Your house survived is amazing!
glad you and your wife are okay!
Thank you!!!
How amazing that your homesurvived. You can now spend your free time helping others with all your heart and God bless you and your family and everyone that suffered loss from the fires.
Glad you and your wife were able to make it out and that your neighborhood survived this horrible tragedy! Keeping everyone there in prayer that you all will receive the support you need to recover and rebuild! My heart goes out to all who have suffered losses from the fire!
Thank you for telling your story. It must have been so traumatizing. Praying for your family and all of those in Maui who are affected.
Everyone who survived the attacks in Lahaina Maui is incredibly lucky, all the evidence points to they were going for maximum damage and fatalities.
So glad you, your home, and immediate neighbors are safe. So sad about the horrors for all. Thank you for sharing. You are so humble. What a rare quality. 🙏
What causes a car to just explode? The heat must have been off the chart. But how?
It looks like the winds split at a rise just up hill from you & possibly did not send the big flames right at you. Or, just a blessing sent your way.
I'm grateful no matter what the reason. Divine Blessings or Scientific Logic, I welcome it all.
Praise God Jesse I thought you lost your house based on the maps I was seeing. So glad you and your house are OK but I can imagine how you feel when you see all the other loss and devastation around you. Thanks for your update.
Thanks Pat!!!
Looks like a newer construction material home more resistant than the old wooden homes throughout the area. Still good your safe. Prayers for everyone involved.
That wasn’t the case in the Boulder County, CO fire in 2021. New homes burned. It’s a matter of which way the wind blows, more than construction materials.
@@HeatherRose2023 It only takes embers to be blown it through gable vents in the roof to then ignite insulation on the inside for the house to burn from the inside out. That is what happened in a lot of the Louisville fire. I was fortunate, I moved away from the area before my first home there burned to the ground in that fire.
I do think though in this case the newer siding helped the exterior wall not to catch fire where the trash can was. You can see burn marks up the wall. Older wood may have lit up like a match. But otherwise, yes, even newer homes can burn to the ground if the wind is right. In this case, seems the wind wasn't right and the materials helped as well.
Wasn't it so surprising in his later video showing the old grass-roofed buildings that didn't burn near his neighborhood? Strange fire indeed.
@@GearMaven
It isn’t surprising at all when you look on a map. That area was bounded by a paved stream and the mall. Those two things, combined with the direction of the wind prevented the fire from spreading to that area.
incredible to watch and hear this story, simply unbelievable. Best wishes ans stay strong. ❤️
Mahalo.
Thanks for the video - sorry for your communities loss! Glad you survived.
Great explanation and map! Really helps. Hopefully you can find contractors to make the repairs you need. Fire is a devastating loss.
How was Police Chief John Pelletier's home? Did it survive?
That survivors guilt; I hear that.
My first thought in the first 20 seconds of this video …is you look like you’ve been crying, a lot, and otherwise just plain “going through it”
-Mahalo (these videos are quite amazing, thank you)
Wow, youtube removed my comment about my personal experience in the Lahaina fire....How pathetic!
I’ve been noticing that happening a lot lately too.
Have you shared it anywhere else, like TiKTok? I would be interested in hearing it.
cars were exploding?!
I'm so confused, and so sorry for everyone : (
Hard to see those cars all gray/burnt
Did you all see that one blue car in the middle of all those that did burn ? ,try to explain that
That is a haunting but a blessing at the same time Blessings to you 🙏🏻
I’m glad you are all
Ok. Prayers for you, your family and community.
Thanks for documenting this. I’m so glad you & your wife made it safely.
Truly a miracle. You are so blessed.
Thanks for sharing, vry good video n info
God blessed you and your wife❤
How many fire trucks did you see fighting these fires? I haven’t seen a single video of firefighters hitting the fires with water the day of.
Thank you. ❤ Do what you can, I know you will.
God bless you and your family and friends. Thk you for your candor and allowing us to see and hear about your escape.
Wow! No warning, no time, had to get out. So glad you made it out & that your house was in tact!
How do cars explodes in a "natural" forest fire?
My heart goes out to everyone there! My prayer is that this tragedy will turn into triumph by each person being pointed to Christ and entering the Kingdom of God. Not one single day is guaranteed, nor is a single breath. But a personal relationship with Christ supercedes anything and everything that could ever happen on this planet. God has said so in His Word! Folks, if you aren’t seeking Christ, NOW is the time! Not later today, not tomorrow, but NOW. Give him your heart and your life and you will receive a supernatural Peace that passes all understanding, even in the midst of this tragic aftermath. May God bless the people of Lahaina, of Hawaii, and of anyone reading this message! Love you you.
Wow thanks for sharing.. that was very scary to watch… glad y’all are safe
Beautiful, brother. Mahalo.
Goverments Did this
You are a good man. My best wishes to you and your family.
Where are the missing children in Maui. Some one stated there are tunnels under neath the ground in Maui.
I don't know about survivor's guilt because I feel everything. Just be thankful, blessed, that your place is still standing. Like someone said, now you can help others.
Bless you and your family. You are there now to help us others.
God bless and give you peace that surpasses all understanding while you stand strong and reach out to others in need.
So glad your home survived! But it has to be difficult to now be without resources. Gosh, this is going to take a long time. ☹️
Thank You for sharing. Learn from the Pass errors & rebuild 🎉🎉🎉
So so sad 😭
Im glad you are safe and your wife 🙏🏼
Survivors guilt is no joke. You have a lot of pain and difficulty in front of you…stay strong.
These fires are crazy, sometimes that take everything, sometimes it is every other house. There’s no way to predict. We need to ALL have better plans for taking care of the elderly around us. We also need a National initiative to get all power lines moved UNDERGROUND.
The color of your house when in shade is blue. When the sun is hitting it falls on yellow. I took screen shots and loaded them into Photoshop.
Its doesn't matter that our houses burned or didn't burn it's our lives that matter ❤
Which direction were you driving? Towards Kaanapali?
Don’t sell out to them! You’re hear for a reason! Thank God!
Please rebuild Lahaina just like it was
Agree 100%
Fireproof hopefully
Won't happen unless there is justice 1st..cuz can't..
One of the things we've heard is that the "Smart Meter" homes went up - they can be remotely set to go - like in California, the meters exploded & caused fires (not just the DEW's)..
Please let us know (you can save others with this info if true) if you know of smart meters on certain homes or?
thank you
Like “smart” thermostats in Texas 2 years ago.
Even if he tells you the comment would probably be taken out.
It was a miracle of God!!!!
they saying now all blue houses wasn't touch🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Thank you sir. God Speed and let's home the gov't helps to do more for it's people
Two questions: Did the trash can catch fire first or did the Air Conditioner? Was the A/C running at the time so it sucked in the burning trash? Also, Why is your house on the left in this video, but in the longer walk through the neighborhood it is on the right? Did the image get flipped somehow? Its very confusing.
You did not show the restricted area? But you grabbed my attention by your title about showing the restricted area?
Hugs and prayers.
My house need to be painted. Was gonna paint it grey. Blue is the new color.
How did you get out when the roads were blocked Your house is saved because it’s new construction
THATCH BUILDINGS DID NOT BURN EITHER ?
Has turned off comments on all latest videos ? Where he is begging for money yet the people only asked for water ? He motives are questionable .
This is so F’d up! Don’t feel guilt, you are here for a reason, you know what to do. God bless.
Imagine trying to escape and being stuck in gridlock traffic because the police blocked all the roads.
I wish you would have elaborated more about the cars bursting into flames, how does that happen. Are vehicles that flammable they just start exploding from flying Embers.
In this video, your footage of the garbage bin being on fire had no sound. In your later video, you had sound, which sounded to me like something exploded inside that bin! (About 2min 30sec. in). In that video, you showed the after affects of the fire & the remains of where the bin was. There appear to be 3 aerosol cans on the ground. I recommend you re-watch your video carefully to see if the fire came from within the bin, or the bin caught on fire from an external source. It may be evidence, or it could be nothing. I wish you and all your townsfolk the best, and are sorry for your devastation.
If your house is blue, youre fine. Or Oprah. Her house didnt caught on fire. This wasnt natural cause, the fire was done by a machine.
Is the neighborhood you lived in mostly nonnative? I’m really curious about that.
Astounding how a fire that large, can approach a city that large, without any warning to the citizens to start early evacuations. Where is the tech and the infrastructure? Failed government and leadership for sure.
I hope you are giving god the glory for protection.
This sort of thing happens in storms, tornadoes, etc. Devastation all around and a few houses untouched. It's amazing to say the least.
I've seen the pics myself..over many, many yrs. Not only do we have hi-tech capabilities, but those 'principalities & powers' in the AIR..that also showed their 'face' when Jesus & disciples were crossing the lake. PTL he was in the boat! He rebuked it..saw it for what it was..at that time. The 'time' is coming for just retribution..by the One who has overriding authority.. Thanks you for the videos..stay safe!
Wow it is amazing when they show clips of flyovers of LaHaina that there are some buildings the fire just seemed to go around, and now I learn of a whole neighborhood and also today I learned about the historic Catholic Church also surviving. Survivors guilt is a real thing but I know you will overcome it by being a there for those less fortunate:) Mahalo!
I can see why the catholic church didn't burn ,it's satanic
Horrifying, God bless… 😔💜🙏🏻
What was the cause of the fire? Did you read the book California Burning by Katherine Blunt?
Blue house???
What town official lives in your neighborhood?
My prayers are with each and every one of you God Bless all of you and please help those that lost it all some even family members.
was your area mainly white?
Are they letting you out and in? Can you help that couple?
Wow
Don’t be depressed for ever ,you got good job for all who pass away...
I like song from Israel :
“Some where over the rainbow”take, peace in Soul ...I hope to you to &your loving wife,be safe...
Did you paint your home with special flame retardant paint?
