so far i haven't heard the answer to: where are the kids;

So now that Lahaina has been sealed off from the rest of humanity, let us take the time to consider exactly what occurred. Everything from DEWs to arson to blue lasers and more have been suggested; but what really matters is what happened, not how it happened, and why.

There was a total of 47 schools in Lahaina; 16 preschools, 6 Elementary Schools, 4 Middle Schools, 3 High Schools, 4 public district schools and 14 private schools. Lahainalua High School, as well as most others, are located on a stretch of Lahinalua Road, which is well away from where the town itself was devastated.
