Iāve seen videos of the banyan tree. I wouldnāt give up on that old girl. As you all know, many trees can take quite a relatively hard short hit and come back. Thinking positive thoughts.

Hey everybody, this isnāt Cali or any other continent destination. Itās a relatively small island destination.There is literally no where left for you to vacation at for the time being - short/med term. Be grateful youāre not in the middle of it!
Peace!

This morningās NASA/LANCE/FIRMS image. Different from yesterdays, MODIS Aqua instead of MODIS Terra and symbolized as Time-Based. My question is: Is there NIROPS capability in Hawaii?

I heard a rumor that some OES engines may be sent . Not sure if it will actually happen or not .

Having taught classes over there it is more likely that they would ferry engines over from the other islands

Iām speculating that this is the FEMA IMAT, not IMT out of Oakland. Whoever picks up the management assistance for this has a heavy lift. Good luck to all!
A primer for FEMA IMAT orientation:

Spent a couple hours interpreting the before after pictures and helo footage from Lahaina. Hereās my thorough and educated guess on where the extent of damages were using Maui County building footprints from 2020. The green buildings among the red were seen via the Maxar-provided before and after images. The eastern, southern, and northern ends of the fire did not have that imagery so the interpretation was from other photos and helicopter footage from the scene.

Looks like about 2,000+ affected structures, eh?

Thatās exactly right, by count I had 2100 red building footprints. That whole north end of town didnāt have satellite images but the video showed it just as badly hit. There will be some random structures in tact in there. There may be more damage from the āUnknownā group Iāve marked as well. Anything in the middle of the action left standing will be heavily smoke damaged as it is.
