  • Aerial shots from August 10, 2023, show the devastation in Lahaina after wildfires tore through the island of Maui, in the US tourist paradise of Hawaii. The fast-moving fires have claimed at least 36 lives, according to officials. President Joe Biden declared the fires a "major disaster" and unblocked federal aid for relief efforts, as residents said they needed more help and feared it would take years for the town to recover.

    I'm a 62 year-old man who vacationed here a couple months ago. When I heard the news and saw the first photos coming out of Lahaina, I could not hold back the tears. I cannot fathom what the people who call Lahaina home and/or have their businesses there are going through. The magnitude of this tragedy is immeasurable and my heart goes out to everyone affected.

    I think what makes this fire more relatable to people than other major fire disasters is the sheer number of people who have some kind of memory of the place. When Maui welcomes roughly 3 million people a year its not far fetched to assume hundreds of millions of people alive today have some kind of 1st person, intensely intimate personal memory of this place. Weddings. Anniversaries. Burials--ashes over the ocean. Graduations. Marriage Proposals.

Left Lahaina to get supplies for people without food, water and gas, but been stuck in traffic going back on and off for days now with miles of cars in front and behind me trying to do the same. Seen many local companies with police escort pass by with lots of supplies. Road is closed again going in so I guess we’ll be sleeping in our cars until Honoapiilani opens up.

    It's devastating beyond explaining.
    Our Sheriff, Kory Honea, Butte Co, CA knows how to work the bureaucracy for Search Rescue, Recovery. The Sheriff is also the coroner. Awful job.
    He has probably reached out to your county law enforcement. If not, I hope someone in Maui govt remembers our story from 2018.
    A word to the wise, stay out of the fire zone, the ash and dust stirred up @ walking/ wind is very toxic. Many of us got sick afterwards for months.

    the fire has to sorted and removed - buried?

      Same here. We spent 2 trips there, the second one 2 weeks to decide if we might move there. We talked to several business owners about a restaurant/bar but in the end, we decided not to do it due to the expense of housing. Since I can remember, I heard stories from my grandmother about her husband being stationed in Hawaii when he was in the Navy. I loved it at first sight as he did. Our favorite place was Cheeseburger in Paradise for Pina Coladas and the art galleries. The artists put their hearts and souls into some of that work and it's all gone. Can't be replaced. I don't know if they can do it, but reproductions of the buildings that had character could be done if the owners are willing. It won't be the same, but I would go again even if it wasn't.

      @mfoster165 that banyan is over 150 years old. There is a chance that it will recover but it will take years to regain its strength and foliage. The Lahaina Town Action Committee, the white building in front of the tree, was completely gutted. Baldwin house was also destroyed. Those 2 buildings held historical records for the city, including the blueprints for all the historic buildings. It'll be impossible to rebuild it the way it was. Lahaina is gone, and with it a big part of my ohana. I used to live there back in the 90's
      This is not the first time Lahaina succumbed to fire. In 1909 it was also destroyed by fire which occurred under similar circumstances.

      The banyan tree is still there. You can see it at 0:02 right behind the white structure. The white building is the old court house and it looks like the roof fell in. I understand the tree is heat damaged but it may survived as the species is hardy. But more important is the loss of historical elements, the loss of commercial and real property, and the irreplaceable loss of life.

      Culprit: Likely Western BORDERLINE ("evil for the sake of evil" - this is BPD secret modus operandi).
      More suffering is needed for female borderlines in particular; as they are exceedingly narcissistic/NPD, to boot (suspect: 'borderline-INFJ' female [likely Western], and their sexually-degenerate, hypersexual clients and computer-savvy associates). 2w3, borderline-INFJ is the emotionally-volatile and common suspect!
      They know that the West is over, and they are covertly, concocting chaos towards anti-Western countries that are vulnerable. 'ENTP's' are undoubtedly involved (70-85% secretly have NPD, and ENTP are naturally sociopathic, albeit to varying degrees).
      ... First Nigeria, then Niger, now Hawaii? Where next?

      @@clearsky143 Not what I said. I said they're designed to survive the fires. Don't know if that's true for all, but it definitely is for many. Research it and see. In the fires I've seen, many if not most of the tress survived in areas where buildings and vehicles were completely obliterated.

    The worst fire devastation Ive ever seen. And what's really sad is the stories of pets who are injured wandering amongst the ruins. It's going to take a very long time to recover from this. Let's hope Biden sends loads of support like he does with Ukraine

      Too funny! Do you think Hawaiians can afford insurance? Or to live in this economy? It’s a complete corporate takeover. Where’s the money to rebuild coming from? Or the supplies! Those homes were over 30 + years old and paid off. There’s no income for that! We will just pray! That will fix everything! Dummy.

    I was here with my friends 3 weeks ago and at that time there was a forecast of a hurricane. The hurricane never came except for some gusty winds and rain. When I heard of the news and saw the aerial shots of Front St. and its surroundings I couldn't help but shed some tears and felt so sorry for all the staffs of the stores we shopped and dined and even some small business owners who fondly told us stories about Lahaina and the whole Maui County. It was my second time to be in Hawaii the first one being in Oahu and in both times I said to myself this Hawaii is the only place I would never get tired visiting and would come here every year if I had the financial wherewithal to do it. Now I am still hearbroken and devastated for seeing Lahaina burned to the ground. I will continue to pray for all the loving people of Maui and Hawaii as a whole and vow to visit it again in the near future and contribute to their recovery.
