There has been an almost total media blackout on this story…
In fact, the only place I’ve seen it covered is on Twitter/X. Thank you Elon!
Basically, a large part of Chile (a tourist city named Valparaiso) has been completely burned to the ground, and the similarities to what happened to Maui are impossible to ignore.
The recent wildfires in Chile have caused widespread devastation, claiming at least 112 lives and leaving hundreds more missing. The fires, which have been burning across the country, have prompted the government to declare a state of emergency.
One of the most severely affected areas is the tourist region of Valparaiso, where the fires have forced many people to evacuate their homes. The fires have also been burning in other regions, including the Maule region, where 16 people have died.
There are several similarities between these fires and the recent wildfires in Maui. Both events have been characterized by their rapid spread and the high number of fatalities and missing people. Additionally, both events have occurred in areas that are not typically prone to wildfires, raising questions about the causes of the fires.
One possible explanation for the fires in both Chile and Maui is the presence of exotic pine and eucalyptus plantations in the affected areas. These plantations, which are marked in purple on a map, may have contributed to the rapid spread of the fires by providing fuel for the flames.

Same white ash.
Historical ignorance. Look up the Pestigo fire. Hundreds killed. Whole towns wiped out.
Did blue painted houses survive?
Well, here comes the next caravan.
I have heard that eucalyptus trees are EXTREMELY flammable and when they burn, the oils volatilize and create a fireball that goes airborne and lands somewhere else to start the whole process over again.
That was my first thought.
Before the Panama Canal and before America’s Transcontinental Railroad, the US East Coast to US West Coast route was a hzardous journey overland or a hazardous sea journey around South America’s cold, wet, windy Cape Horn that needed a rest in Valparaiso, Chile, before continuing to America’s West Coast. The journey is underestimated today.

Amazing this was not in the news. Thanks for posting.
It might be the local vegetation, but thats not as fun as directed energy space weapons.
I’ve been to Valpo - a very interesting city, a bit like San Francisco but without the bums, closed stores and people crapping on the sidewalks.
Thank God!
Americans don’t give a rip about what goes on in the rest of world.
“Americans don’t give a rip about what goes on in the rest of world.”
That’s the old joke: War is God’s way of teaching Americans Geography.
How many can even find Ukraine on a map?
I could probably show you, if you really need to know.
but countries get absorbed and fragment all the time, pretty much that has happened throughout history, trying to stop it is like trying to stop the tide.
I am one of the few who laments the absorption of the principality of hutt river. (and cause my international drivers license and passport are now invalid, at least the coins are still worth money because they were never debased.)

California is filled with eucalyptus trees.
Pinochet’s home town.
I worked in Valparaiso and nearby Viña del Mar in the mid 70s. It was a wonderful place to work, a lot like the coast of California.
