Wildfires on Maui [2023-08-10]

Honolulu Civil Beat is THE BEST. I rely on it for all my Hawai’i news.

@Siam_Sam is on Oahu. @Didi44 was born and raised in Hawai’i, if I’m not mistaken, and resides on Oahu.

@Mangosteen has, or had, a place on the Big Island (quite near me, actually) that he used for vacation rentals. I think he abandoned the Dope quite a while ago though, probably because he regarded us all as hopelessly liberal (he was a Trump supporter, I am pretty sure.)

There was another Hawai’i doper whose name I can’t remember but I’m pretty sure it started with “L” - I really liked him, but he stopped posting sometime in the last few years after feeling he’d shared more personal information than he was comfortable with. I wish he’d come back!

I’d probably remember a few more Hawai’i dopers if I thought about it for a while (I think the late Santo Rugger was on the Big Island, maybe?) but those are the only ones that come to mind right now. No one on Maui.
