Hawai’i Wildfires Decimate Maui

[That Venice Bitch 23,773]

Very sad situation happening in Hawai’i. Lahaina Town - population of over 12,000 - is considered basically lost. Kula - population of 7,000 - also greatly affected by raging wildfires. 6 people confirmed dead, and search and rescue efforts underway. Thousands of people evacuating the island. These wildfires are considered to be the result of Hurricane Dora, which mostly missed the US state, though strong winds from the storm agitated dry conditions on the island of Maui. 

The fire has not been contained. The outcome looks absolutely dire.

One of my favorite pictures I ever took. Lahaina in 2017. I hope that one day it can be this lush again

This is horrible, natural disasters are so scary  I'm glad it seems they were able to evacuate people in time though

I have so many beautiful memories of Lahaina and Maui, I’m absolutely devastated for the land and its people..generations of history lost just like that  36 losses confirmed so far..

 

not sure if this is allowed, but please donate to the Red Cross if you can. Maui has terrible infrastructure and I can imagine there will be many homeless families as a result of this
