Almost every day there is another “apocalyptic” natural disaster in the news. Have you ever wondered why this is happening? This year there has been an endless parade of unprecedented fires, floods, earthquakes, storms and droughts. On Wednesday, it was Hawaii’s turn. An absolutely horrifying wildfire ripped through the heart of the island of Maui like a lawnmower, and it happened so suddenly that many were not able to evacuate in time. One pilot that has spent 52 years flying over Maui says that he has “never seen anything like that in my life”…

Video footage shot by Air Maui Helicopter Tours over parts of the Lahaina area shows entire blocks were decimated by the flames, with little but ruins and ashes left, and everything still engulfed in a thick, hazy smoke.
“We were not prepared for what we saw. It was heartbreaking, it looked like an area that had been bombed in the war,” Richie Olsten, the director of operations for the tour agency, told CNN’s Jake Tapper Wednesday. “It’s just destroyed.”
“In my 52 years of flying on Maui, I’ve never seen anything like that in my life,” Olsten added.
By the time it is over, this could potentially end up being the most costly natural disaster in the modern history of Hawaii.
Many of the video clips and images of this disaster that are being posted on social media are truly horrifying.

This fire moved so fast that people were literally jumping into the ocean to escape it.
One man that took drone footage of this fire described the destruction that it is causing as “apocalyptic”…
Clint Hansen took drone video Tuesday night that showed wildfires spreading just north of Kihei.
“Lahaina has been devastated,” Hansen told CNN. “People jumping in the ocean to escape the flames, being rescued by the Coast Guard. All boat owners are being asked to rescue people. It’s apocalyptic.”
Of course it isn’t just Hawaii that is dealing with “apocalyptic” fires.
Over in Europe, an absolutely gigantic wildfire has already devastated thousands of hectares of land. The following comes from an article posted by a British news source entitled “Raging Portugal wildfires force hundreds of tourists to flee apocalyptic inferno”…
Hundreds of terrified tourists have been evacuated from dream holidays in southern Portugal after wildfires continue to rage out of control.
The huge blaze has destroyed thousands of hectares of land in the area of Odemira, in the Alentejo region, since the disaster started on Saturday. It has now spread south towards the Algarve, prompting the evacuation of 1,400 people which includes tourists staying at four resorts in the holiday destination, as well as 19 small villages.
We are also seeing lots of unprecedented storms in recent months.
Recently, a cataclysmic hail storm in Germany made it look like it was winter right in the middle of the summer…
Elsewhere in Europe, a month of rain fell on parts of Slovenia in a single day.
Horrendous flooding ensued, and we are being told that this is likely the worst natural disaster in the entire history of Slovenia…
