I dunno that I buy the DEW idea. It's far more likely that high winds knocked down energized power lines and started fires. No power kept the fire hydrant pressure at 0psi, and cops had no idea what to do with everyone on front street. I just got back from Lahaina about a month ago. There's really only 2 ways to get in or out of the town. Its ocean on one side and mountains on the other.
IMO, all the people in charge were put there because they are good ol boys, not because they were the best. All incompetent and made terrible decisions on what to do causing the death of thousands. They know this and are trying to cover it up as best they can. They're fucked already without there being anything to do with a DEW.
