- One of the deadliest wildfires in the United States in recent years leveled homes and businesses on the lush Hawaiian island of Maui this past Tuesday. Correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti reports on how residents and tourists were caught off-guard by the fast-moving flames, turning postcard-perfect Lahaina into ruins, as officials warn the number of dead could rise significantly in the weeks to come.

In 2010 I lost everything to a wild fire but luckily we received a reverse 911 call telling us to evacuate. Thank god we had time to get out. My thoughts are with the families. ❤
WELL , time to be a gardener of land
The fish pond at the library in Lahaina is still there.
This is heart shattering. So much lost. Families, loved ones, pets, businesses. People’s entire lives gone. My prayers are with all of them. I can’t even imagine how one recovers from such an epic tragedy. May God give them strength in the days ahead.
I lost my home to fire one year ago. Material things are gone, and no life is lost, including animals. Praise Jesus!
I've lived through earthquakes and hurricanes, but can't even imagine the horror of this.
The Old Fire San Bernardino 2003
Cedar Fire, San Diego.
Reichstag as well
I lost everything in similar wild fire here boulder, CO Marshall fire. 2021 December. We are still recovering and long way to go. My heart breaks for all those affected
My heart and strength to everyone there. We love that little island and will support and help you in any way we can. Much love from the PNW. 💕
Send them money or let them move in with you
I was there in Feb (2023). I'm stunned that its all gone. I'm looking up people who worked there to see if they are okay. One girl that ran the whale watching lost her house.
Lahaina was one of the best parts of my Maui trip. As far as I'm concerned it was the heart of Maui. So many people worked there. Tourists flocked there. And it was where many people caught their boats to go out on the ocean. It's a huge loss. And finally, the amazing Lahaina Banyan Tree. I hope it will survive. Time will tell.
So much love to the citizens of Lahaina, the island of Maui and the state of Hawaii. The banyan trees are proof of your resilience.
Let them move in with you or send them money
I hope you guys get through this. Sending love to you all from the Midwest 💜✌️
I have been there years ago. Lahaina seemed like a very hot place and very dry. Even then I was uncomfortable there because of that, and am not surprised this happened.
where were the officials and fire/police, asleep. the people seemed to be caught off guard.
@@kenjones-lc4ut no fire department can keep up with wind driven flames in a situation like that
Maui’s beautiful island and their historic town gone…i was amazed how paradise that place was calm peaceful…full of aloha spirit. Love to comeback again once they rebuild and support their local businesses. I was there in may this year as solo-trip this year before class started and first trip since covid and one of my bucket list. I would drive by there many times.
The loss of lives and history is tragic.
I just can't express how sad i am over the loss of human and animal lives this week...and so quickly...i just can't stop thinking about Maui.
I lived on Oahu for 25 years and used to go over to Lahaina once in a while. I liked looking over at Lanai from Front Street and have photos if myself in the huge (then 100 yr. Old banyan tree). I'm glad to hear it may survive....
God Bless Everyone involved and may they have the resilience to survive this horror! Always My Aloha!❤😢
oh my goodness seeing the thumbnail i thought it was the aftermath of a war I feel so sorry and deeply saddened for the families who lost everything
My condolences to the families of the wonderful people of Lahaina, Maui & Hawai'i, may God take the deceased into his mercy, and grant patience to their families
Caught in a traffic jam. Imagine the panic…
Watch the news conference held yesterday Saturday in Wailuku for facts. The fire spread so fast there was no time for the warning system to go off.
Like op mockingbird facts?😂
mother nature has a lot of surprises. no man can ever stop it.
This wasn’t Mother Nature this is the power companies fault !
Yeah. Um. This wasn’t Mother Nature. What a ridiculous comment to post.
@@RobertMJohnson News everywhere are calling this one of the worst natural disasters in the US. Which cave are you hiding?
Explain HAARP then, oh you probaby dont know about that.
@@tahoe-hx5sqarson, my vaxx friend
My heart hurts for our brothers and sisters in Hawaii. I know only too well what they went through escaping those flames.
I was lucky enough that my home wasn't destroyed, but we should all do what we can to pull together and help them rebuild. It would help if we got good comprehensive information on how to volunteer or donate. And who we shoukd write to in our government to push for accountability to rebuild responsibility to help ordinary citizens get their lives back together.
The Lahaina that grew out of the 60's, 70's and 80's was truly a special place, no place is perfect but that special convergence of aloha between locals and respectful newcomers was magical like hey maybe this isn't a fantasy maybe humans can live together in good will and live by the golden rule. Sadly it will never be rebuilt the way it was. Even before the fire things have changed as society has changed. Lahaina and west Maui will rebuild and hopefully prosper one day, but I don't think it even makes sense to try to replicate the old magical Lahaina, society has changed, its just not going to happen now.
The same has happened to Paradise, CA. There are 526 listings on the market in Paradise as of this morning. Very few have dwellings on them. More than half are for under 90K.
Have you ever been to Charleston,S.C.?
It's been torched,looted,burned,and bombed more times than Berlin.
It's been captured by Blackbeard the Pirate,burned by the British(more than once)bombed by Confederates,destroyed by hurricanes many times,ravaged by floods,captured and surrendered to vile Yankees(ugh!) Lol,destroyed by an earthquake(1886),and once more wiped out by another hurricane(Hugo,1989) and you're ready to surrender,and just give up after one wildfire?

Does anyone know what caused these fires? Were they deliberate?
We went to Maui in 2021. Beautiful island. People were very nice with small businesses. Still have pictures taken under the shade of Huge tree in Lahaina city.It’s a special place. Some people said it is 100yrs old tree. I saw it today in this video. Still tree is there without leaves. SAD to see burnt buildings. Can rebuild buildings but can’t bring back nature.
They say the Banyan Tree was a gift from India 150 years ago .
Some have said that there's trees have deeper roots and there's a good chance that tree could survive .
Time will tell but yes it would be lovely to see that tree thriving once again .
We will have to wait and see
My heart is just crying for everyone there.
So heartbreaking 💔 😢
This is so incredibly sad! 💔
Prayers for the Families that made it out
There is no reason anyone should be homeless from this fire when you have all those untouched resorts sitting there empty waiting for rich tourist to come back, where is the outcry from all of this, these native people belong in their town and can get there right away as soon as utillities are restored in those un-burnt resorts they should get a free unit
They did this to displace...like the Trail of Tears.
it was cause by downed power lines
its the power lines that are above ground if Maui had fiber optics /underground electric there world have been no fire
and they have one of the highest tax rates in the country. Where does all that tax $ go (definitely not to the schools - as a recent resident of the Maui High School shelter)?
Love every show of y’all that y’all show! Thanks for such informative show each time!♥️👋
So sad and careless
Would have helped if you had cleared the brush that surrounded the town. Lahaina was my home.
I've read that the west side of Maui is always dry this time of year because it gets far less rain than the rest of the island, so they always have wildfires every year. The only thing different about this year is the hurricane winds knocked over a lot of power lines which started fires and spread than far more quickly than ever before. Usually a hurricane brings lots of rain with the winds, but this time it didn't rain enough to stop the fires.
I think that's a good synopsis of what happened.
That's more information than what I've been hearing on the news. I wondered what started the fires. Thanks.
Yes the Leeward side of ALL THE Hawaiian islands are the dry side . Some almost desert . The rainy season is in the Winter.
Bigger question is why with 60 mph winds did the power lines spark ? Not maintained !
The hurricane passed 500 miles to the south. Maui and the Big Island were caught in an area between a strong high pressure and Dora creating these extreme tradewinds. Red Flag warnings were posted days before the fires but no one expected 70-80 mph winds. The first fires were on the Big Island in the usual areas. Terrain and wind direction helped contain those fires. Yes, the leeward sides are typically dry. Our brushfires are usually started by fallen powerlines. Then you have cigarettes, hot vehicles parked over dry grass, and arson.
@@vicm6561 The winds were at least 70 to 80 mph, but a witness who watched power lines blown down said the gusts were 140 mph. I think you're right the lines probably weren't well maintained, and a retired California firefighter said they obviously didn't do controlled burns during the winter to minimize the amount of flammable dry grass and foliage.
Really bad emergency response, there was so much time to evacuate. Beyond tragic
There wasn’t that much warming as the video stated
There was public service warning capability (sirens), and yet it was not activated. It may not have saved every life that was lost, but it certainly would have saved a few more.
@@omi_god fires don't start out of nowhere, there was a communication breakdown, there are helicopters everywhere is Hawaii , radios everywhere, boats everywhere. Hawaii is always on alert for natural disasters. Volcanoes, tsunamis, there are usually on top of communication to the public.
@@NFS305so it’s truth because the media said so?
@@findaxelfoley8106wow, almost like an arson plan....all that mighty tech failed Ala Epstein cameras😂
Wow prayers for Maui Hawaii rip
those poor animals had no chance
Tourism has taken a major blow with this disaster. Yes, they will 'rebuild' but the basic attractions will never be the same. RIP all of the lost souls and peace be with the survivors.
Hawaii has text alert system in place for years.
on top of the towers having no power, remember the Nuke alert several years ago that turned out to be in error? Even if an alert went out, some probably would've thought it's another false alarm, just based on that alone
They could have used a tornado siren or abull horn or anything to help notify and evacuate people
I was there. NOTHING!
A few years ago (We live on Kauai), there was a FALSE NUKE ATTACK ON OUR PHONES. And, the sirens went off and scared the living daylights out of us. So NOW, there seems to be a recognizable lack of proper attention to the rigor obviously required, so that the lack-of, --or overdone, "alarm" system(s) do not "hang loose". Not a little, not a lot, real accountability, just like the real life things that happen, when we over relax actual responsibilities that some actual persons get PAID to assure and deliver us with. THAT is not "Aloha."
Some people reporting they got alerts but you must have either registered or have an 808 area code. The alerts go off like clockwork every month same day at noon but that was for tsunami when I lived there I was unaware of them using those sirens for any other emergencies
Yeah, we've lived here on Kauai 27 years...@@vicm6561
Been there; one of the least touristed, most pastoral Hawaiian islands. Tragic. Good luck rebuilding.
Least touristed? It’s second most visited island after Oahu.
@@alexchopper7997 Not overrun with rich Japanese and condos, what I mean.
LOLOL. Maui is a tourist island. What are you, new?
Almost none of these people knew what to do. Almost no one seems to have had a plan of any kind. Maybe its time schools taught practical knowledge for all natural disasters as the climate continues to intensify.
As "weather modification" seems to intensify.
No evacuation notifications!That’s so sad.
"You will own nothing and you will be happy"
Don't ever let your guard down ,they take what they want!
Anyone know how it started?
My husband and I used to go every year at least or every other year to the islands but esp Maui. Heratbreaking to see this...Lahaina had a beautiful library in Front Street I believe. I used to visit it often when we were there...now it's all gone.😞
I was thinking of the library when I heard about the fire. I will be contacting my local library group to see what they are planning. I realize it is early in the disaster, but plans for the future, especially for s library are a good and a positive action.
All the effort to setup that emergency warning system and it didn't even either get activated or didn't work.
It's hard to lose everything they had. But the most important thing is they are safe and healthy. May they have patience and may Allah replace for them a new and better life 😢❤️
Reminds me of those other "wild fires" on the mainland: Plenty of trees still standing, but structures and cars are destroyed, the vehicle's wheels melting like butter on a hot pancake...Ashphalt bridges thoroughly melted away, leaving their twisted steel skeletons...
DEW...you know what I mean..?
Sure do. I look up the hill at Paradise and think the same thing.
That banyon is a memorial
😠 Look @1:58. I hate the idea of bringing in dogs to sniff through all that toxic ashes! They're also walking through broken glasses and other burned, sharp debris without any kinds of protective footwear while the humans and handlers are covered from head to toe in protective gears, eyewear, masks, etc. As if the numerous lives lost isn't enough, now we have to spread death and sickness to more animals as well! 🐾
The Paradise fire was caused by very old and not properly maintained utilities! Then what caused it to engulf and trap the people was the old , dead forest growth was not allowed to be cleaned out by the Forestry service ! Paradise was literally surrounded by kindling !
Paradise was also hit by dews troll
@@alicewhite7945correct. And Blackrock.
They overturned boats for fuel and ignited them....and left their evidence in the Harbour.
There was no dead forest. This was a residential and business area.
There isn't a Lahaina forest. If you don't know, then you don't know.
@@bobbykiefer4306 This was simply a statement in response to the broadcaster speaking of the reason for the Paradise fire and the preventable scenarios that caused it .
Same thing happened to us in Paradise CA November 8th 2018 Our homes were leveled to ash but most of the trees were still standing houses, steel buildings turned to ash, cars, trucks flipped upside down but still the gas tanks were still intact, We were hit so back in Paradise 11.8.2018 by Directed Energy Weapons looks the same as Paradise did, Maui, looks to be the same MO, as Paradise, Fire was. Cars burned out even the glass windows some of the cars in Maui had large holes in the hood of the cars and trucks looks like a Direct Energy Attack to me but trees next to the cars still had leaves on them. This in my humble opinion is another attack on our towns, Agenda 21 burn the people off the land and take everything away from them. The Winds came up soon as the fire started right? Just like in Paradise and many mountain communities in Northern California, Prove me I'm wrong. Learn what's happening people our towns are under attack none other than by the New World Order People taking everything away from us, burning our towns down. NO EARLY WARNING SYSTEM in place tells me they wanted lot's of Causality’s Death's just like in Paradise we had no warning at all these people they aren't playing they are Dead serious about destroying everything the people have worked so hard for. I sure wish the people would get a clue. Oh thanks mainstream media for NOT Doing any investigating on the fire your worthless media covering up the CRIME Against the People of Maui. May God Help us all, against these EVIL People behind the crimes against humanity. Cars and trucks lined up along the side of the road with glass and wheels melted no trees next to the cars and trucks melted just like Paradise. When will people realize our towns are under attack one town at a time.
DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS Devastated Maui It was an attack on the people of MAUI Just like what happened to us in Paradise CA on November 8th 2018 Exact Same Weaponry was use to take down Maui
a friend wrote a book called Paradise Lost The Great California Fire Chronicles 109 pages and it catalogs all the fires and weaponry used on the fires in CA between 2008 thru 2018 by James W. Lee you can find the book online.
It takes will, to want to know the truth, wherever it may lead you. And it takes Love, to heal the wounds from the physical, mental and Spiritual battles we are all facing today. The first steps to any occulted truths are a willingness to want to know rather than beLIEve, trust and blindly accept the official narratives provided by those in Secret Societies with hidden agendas who care not about your safety, or your well-being. Meaningful change can only occur when the many are educated, alerted, and informed as to who, what, how and why these “new abnormal” fires are occurring and why the official narratives about the reasons and causes of the fires, and the responses by official in power, are beyond the pale of basic common sense to anyone with eyes to see, ears to hear, and a mind to think for themselves.

Did Mt. Dew have a "Paradise" flavor out that year? Weird?
Has Red Cross been helping as well? And, who handles clean up and then rebuild? How long might that take and are residents of LaHaina given an estimate as to when they can have homes again. They can rebuild with federal money on the same lots per se? curious if people are completely displaced permanently or temporary during rebuilds. Have they been given hope of a new home same location?
Given the completely burned-down situation like this, those who were unable to escape might have been burned to the point where only their bones remained or even turned completely into ashes. Therefore, the search is expected to be challenging.
This is very heartbreaking to see such a catastrophic event by a fire that wiped an entire town with such a history gone in the matter of time.
What started the fires !!!! Number one question
downed power lines coupled with a dry climate. how have you not heard this?
Evidently strong dry (no rain) hurricane force winds from Dora brought down power lines in an area where the vegetation was extremely dry and provided the perfect kindling to fuel the massive wildfire.
Arson.
yeah..they really think we are that stupid-smh: As someone who has lived in a coastal city (FL) with the occasional CAT 4 skirting past, I assure you the Hurricane was too far from shore to cause tropical storm force, CAT 1 force winds. At the distance Dora was, I could see it cause maybe 20-30 MPH wind gusts and that's if it was more like 200 miles away. Somehow I don't believe the Hawaiian people would not have secured their power lines for at least 100 MPH winds. The climate conditions were right to spread the fire, but how it started and how it spread-questionable. "Even though it was about 500 miles away, Dora upset the balance, influencing the low-pressure system and increasing the difference in air pressure resulting in unusually strong trade winds. “Hurricane Dora is very far away from Hawaii, but you still have this fire occurrence here." www.nbclosangeles.com/weather-news/how-maui-wildfires-spread-hurricane-dora-drought/3204307/#:~:text=Even%20though%20it%20was%20about,have%20this%20fire%20occurrence%20here. @@TS-wh4ey

Wonder how it started.
Not a single world, that most people in Lahaina were living in a stack of hey, the wood frames offer absolute no protection against fire, high wind or termites..the cause of death and destruction is not the forest fire, but the combustible home structures, and the building codes which promote them in a place where forest or grass fire, high wind and earth quake are very likely...How long do you need to learn it, how many more has to burn and blown away by high wind before you understand that your codes are responsible..????

Only truth spoken in this thread. Stay frosty.
Many said they didn't get a warning. It seems well Rd to me that they have the ocean next to them. Weird.
Hawaiian cultural disposition has always been lackadaisical, absorbed with aloha, mahalo and hoohnănēah (stay relaxed) demeanor, so no surprise the sloppy headed local officials were asleep at the warning level switches. Wildfires & Hurricanes require monitoring functional reliable systems. Other islands need to hoālahia (wakeup) or suffer the horrific consequences of history repeating itself sooner or later

History does repeat itself. A new community will be built but the recovery of living will take years. Starting all over is not easy, but it will be done.

Maui is an island surrounded by ocean. How come the ocean water couldn't be used to put out the fires, before they got to this level?
Winning comment, its so obvious i didn't even occur to me 🤔
PS - its a coastal town too smh
Yes I was thinking the same thing but they had from what I understand a very small Fire Department .
It would have been nice yes if they had already had some system in place for using ocean water
People claim that the salt water will ruin the earth. It could have put the fires out, saved lived and buildings and they could have flushed the land with pure water after it was over. Instead the fire fighters were no where to be found and they claimed they ran out of water.
Easy to say if you were not there. The winds from Hurricane Dora whipped up the wildfires (and Maui is already a windy place). Embers flew for miles, landing on homes, businesses, parks, etc. There were also other wildfires burning around the island at the same time, taxing the local fire fighters.

Funny how none of the government buildings are effected and always safe..
I think a good question to the governing body is why do they leave cars on the side of the road that have been set on fire. Someone was visiting just a week before the fire and videoed cars set on fire randomly along the roadside. Left to burn out, I am sure such negligence was the perfect setting for flames to be fanned by the winds
You mean sabotage.
The fewest comments I see are about the human lives lost (and some may still be alive?), especially older children who were home alone since it was a work day. The worst way to die is by fire and fire mostly fast, and in this situation, the hurricane winds speeded the fire up where there was very little time to react and act. My hope is those who died, died swiftly so there was less pain. The horror!
Quit questioning an inevitable situation. Bad stuff happens to good people and it doesn’t need a media explanation
Paradise fire started from downed powerlines. Why act like it was all on the dry land factor
Hope they build a beautiful park that covers the entire place. Including hawaiian homestead... Aloha ..
