i call BS. it’s plausible, until you take into account that this emergency occurred in the middle of the night when many residents were asleep. And cell towers were offline by this point, so there was literally no other way to alert people in west maui. The risk that some residents are stupid enough to run into a fire uphill seems WAY better than letting one thousand plus people die in their sleep.
