Survived<\/h2>\n<p>As reports continue to trickle in about the devastation and destruction wrought upon Hawaii by wildfires, one report\u2062 has separated itself by asking a simple, haunting question:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Just\u2062 how\u2063 badly did <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/maui-officials-ties-obama-foundation-raise-questions-decision-delay-water\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hawaii officials<\/a> bungle\u200d evacuation efforts?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A harrowing <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/hawaii-fires-timeline-maui-lahaina-road-block-c8522222f6de587bd14b2da0020c40e9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> from The Associated Press suggests that those efforts were bungled rather badly, given the people\u200d who survived\u2063 the Maui wildfires by \u2062 <em>not<\/em> listening to the government.<\/p>\n<p>One grim example provided by the AP involves a road blockade that was restricting \u2064residents \u200dfrom\u2064 fleeing the fires via Highway 30.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOne family swerved around the \u200dbarricade and was safe\u2062 in a \u200cnearby town 48 minutes later, another drove their 4-wheel-drive car down a dirt road to escape,\u201d the \u2064AP reported. \u201cOne man took an dirt road uphill, climbing above the \u200dfire\u200d and watching as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/video-deadly-hawaii-fire-destroys-everything-leaves-church-seemingly-unscathed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lahaina burned<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But \u2062those\u200c who followed\u200d government orders and adhered to these blockades?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cBut dozens of others found themselves caught in a\u2063 hellscape, their \u2062cars jammed together on a\u200d narrow\u2063 road, surrounded by flames\u200b on three sides and \u200dthe rocky ocean waves on the \u2062fourth,\u201d the AP noted. \u201cSome\u200b died in their \u200ccars, while others tried\u200b to \u200crun for safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The AP spoke to one \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/they-are-playing-with-our-lives-local-residents-lash-out-at-biden-cancelling-keystone-xl\/\" title=\"\u2018They Are Playing With Our Lives\u2019: Local Residents Lash Out At Biden Cancelling Keystone XL\">local resident<\/a> who\u2062 described a scene straight\u2063 out of a movie:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI could see from the bypass that people were stuck on the balconies, so I \u200bwent\u2063 down and\u2063 checked\u200c it out,\u201d Kekoa Lansford told \u2063the AP.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cAnd I could see that people were on fire, that the fire was \u2063just being stoked by the wind, \u2063and\u2064 being pushed toward the homes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The AP reported that these road closures were\u2063 explained away by the \u2062government as an attempt to stop the fires and protect citizens from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/woman-dog-dead-freak-accident-see-ground-immediately-call-911\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/millions-without-power-in-texas-energy-prices-climb\/\" title=\"Millions Without Power In Texas; Energy Prices Climb\">downed power lines<\/a><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And if these blockade snafus\u2064 were the only gaffe\u200d in evacuation and recovery efforts, perhaps you\u200b chalk \u2062it up as an overwhelmed government\u2063 making a mistake, and move on.<\/p>\n<p>But this is hardly the first time that Hawaii leadership has \u2062been \u2063placed under \u2064a microscope with regard to these devastating \u2062Maui wildfires, which have claimed over 100 lives.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps most\u2062 notably, local state official Kaleo Manuel has come under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hawaii-official-delayed-releasing-water-5-hours-fires-raged-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">intense criticism<\/a> \u2062 after he\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-the-maui-residents-who-ignored-official-instructions-are-the-ones-who-survived\/\" title=\"Report: Survivors in Maui Ignored Official Instructions\">reportedly delayed sending water<\/a> to help \u200ccombat the\u2064 wildfires.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate <a

rel=\"noopener\">incident<\/a>, Hawaii state officials were again taken to the woodshed when it was revealed that not a single one of Maui\u2019s 80 warning sirens went off as \u200cthe fire raged.<\/p>\n<p>Worse yet, there are also\u2063 growing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hawaii-regulators-utility-company-knew-fire-hazards-yet-failed-act-report\/\" target=\"_blank\"

for the local Hawaiians,\u2064 they are not receiving much from the federal government either \u200cat the\u2063 moment.<\/p>\n<p>President Joe Biden\u2019s visit to the ravaged island of \u200cMaui\u200d has \u2062been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-insults-maui-wildfire-victims-desperate-attempt-relatable-exaggerated-story-losing-home\/\" target=\"_blank\"

they\u2019ve expressed concerns that \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/maui-residents-attempt-fend-off-land-grab-outsiders-swoop-like-vultures-preying-us\/\" target=\"_blank\"
