The US Census released an accuracy check today for 2020 and revealed they think they missed about 19 Million people...almost the size of New York State. I kept telling people back then that this was the biggest unreported story...something was not adding up.

If you are reporting on Maui you need to understand that the siren system is for a tsunami warning not for fires. They can't decide in the moment to use it for a different purpose. In fact it could have created confusion to move away from the ocean when that could be safest place
