Haleakalā (/ˌhɑːliˌɑːkəˈlɑː/; Hawaiian: Hawaiian pronunciation: [ˈhɐlɛˈjɐkəˈlaː]), or the East Maui Volcano, is a massive, active shield volcano that forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. The western 25% of the island is formed by another volcano, Mauna Kahalawai, also referred to as the West Maui Mountains.
They are likely being used to ferry the people who lost their homes/cars, FEMA personnel, and others.
Of note, I went to school on the Big Island and the buses were rarely more than about 20 students on a bus. A lot of families live away from town up in the mountains (up mauka as they say there) where the land has passed down through generations of families. I traveled 10 miles to the nearest high school when I lived there and there were never more than a dozen kids on the bus.
Hawaiian families are private and have no trust of government. They are well aware of what the US government has imposed on native americans on the mainland. They will not rush to report to any "outsiders" anything.
Most of the families don't live in town. Internet and cell access was pretty low before the fire in the mauka areas. It likely they are non-existent right now. Parents are likely not social media savvy in any way.
Access to the roads they do live on were blocked by fire and are likely still blocked by government action, fallen trees, burned cars, and even possibly damaged bridges. This prevents them to getting to areas to report any issues and they assume they are on their own.
The news has reported on searches of Lahaina town, but I have not heard about any searches or other activity in the mauka areas where most of these families live.
The post-fire drone videos I've seen (and I've looked at most of them) do not show any burned out buses. In one video I saw several clean and undamaged buses still sitting in a mostly vacant parking lot completely unblemished. I thought it odd. But thank goodness a smart person thought to check earlier G_oogle map photos, learning that the parking lot usually holds way more buses, that are not there now.
So, where are they?
Did the buses take the students to be shot in the head and dumped in a hole per the crazy unverified report we heard the other day? If so, this may be the very keystone to this whole nightmare!
It is an island. The buses couldn't have gone far, even if they burned they are parked somewhere.
I keep hearing about tunnels. Easy enough to hide a lot underground.
Lava tubes created tunnels. I’ve been in one on Hawaii.
Yes... the tunnels.

Maui is 75% volcano....edit Maui is 100% volcano thanks to valk for pointing it out.

Easy to divert lava into another chamber while you reinforce the caverns already made for you..

lol. All the Hawaiian islands are 100% volcano. Not sure what you think that other 25% is supposed to be!
75% volca and 25% no
you are correct

Try impossible. Lava is the boss.
cant they make a tunnel to divert it like water at the beach?

Really good points!
They could have been driven to Oprah's private beach to transport by boat who knows where.

They wouldn’t dump children like that. Too valuable of a commodity for the vile beasts to forsake like that.
Eh, depends on if you could reconcile ritual mass sacrifice or whatnot I suppose.
Those buses have to be somewhere, or there are unmarked tunnels.
No . Children to them are a valued commodity. They wouldnt waste them. God bless the children..
Read my new comment below.
Can you link to that report?
Why would they do it that way when leaving them to burn would be easier?
They must have ferry boats, just drive the busses on, and they are gone.
