"Now I'll wait while you tell me how "causing it" and "exacerbating it" are two very different things," Cause... might be downed power lines. Exacerbate... make worse... Maui, Fires and Flash Droughts \| Climate Denial Crock of the Week (climatecrocks.com) Flash droughts are so dry and hot that the air literally sucks the moisture out of the ground and plants in a vicious hotter-and-drier cycle that often leads to wildfires. And Hawaii’s situation is a textbook case, two scientists told The Associated Press. As of May 23, none of Maui was unusually dry; by the following week, it was more than half abnormally dry. By June 13 it was two-thirds either abnormally dry or in moderate drought. And this week about 83% of the island is either abnormally dry or in moderate or severe drought, according to the U.S. drought monitor. Maui experienced a two-category increase in drought severity in just three weeks from May to June, with that rapid intensification fitting the definition of a flash drought, said Jason Otkin, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
