Hawaiian couple suing power companies over Lahaina destruction amid historic Maui wildfires. For those that haven’t been following this story, let me bring you up to speed. The lawsuits are fixin’ to start comin’ faster than the fires that burned everything to the ground. Let’s see. A power company failed to shut down its power transmission lines during hot, dry, windy conditions (plenty of lawsuits are happening in Oregon and California for the same thing), a state agency wouldn’t release water to be used to fight fires until it had approval from the farmers that used it for irrigation, and emergency sirens were not used to warn of approaching fire danger. The process to release the water took hours, and by the time Hawaii’s red tape process checked all the boxes, it was too late – fires had already burned out the places where the government was trying to borrow water from. Tell me THAT doesn’t have lawsuit written all over it.
