Maui resident: 'We still have dead bodies floating in the water' - Lemmy.world

A Lahaina resident talks about the recovery efforts after a wildfire swept through the Maui town.

Crazy how thin the line is between society as usual and total melt down. Makes you really appreciate yow fragile all of this is. Growing up you think the way things are is how they've always been and always will be.

Time to wake up.

I wouldn’t talk about a meltdown of dociety here - this is a natural disaster, not the sacking of Rome. In due time help will arrive, people will bury the dead and rebuild. Though I agree it makes you appreciate how we take things for granted until one day they aren’t.
Climate change caused this so I don’t know that you can really call it natural. Unless you include things people do as natural (I tend to but that’s not how most people use the word.)
Yeah but climate change causes natural disasters.
