There is no verifiable fact that Maui was "blasted" by a Direct energy weapon. The fire spread due to drought conditions and high winds from Hurricane Dora. Dora was an intense Category 4 hurricane as it passed about 700 miles south of Hawaii's Big Island https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/pr/2023/08/14/tropical-storm-greg-2023-path/70590936007/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-did-maui-fire-start-cause-lahaina-hawaii-wildfire/
