Maui Wildfires
Maui is burning...
Current photo of "Haleakala" (that road is the start of the "Road to Hana"). There's housing all up and down that side of the mountain and it's immensely sketchy right now. Even Kihei is in danger (south central). Prayers to the locals and anyone who's trapped in this hellscape. Seemed as if the high winds caught them off guard. But beyond the loss of life of the worlds coolest tree (Banyan tree the size of a city block) is probably gone now (https://lahainarestoration.org/lahaina-banyan-tree/). Up to date map of the wildfire: https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/08/09/hawaii-wildfires-maui-lahaina-dora/ |

Yeah, it's real bad. Hurricane Dora has affected the wind, very windy throughout the islands. All Maui schools, but Hana, are closed. I think Lahaina is being evacuated.

Yeah, this sucks. I’ve spent a lot of time in that area. Sounds like most of the main business district has been wiped out.

Lahaina, where that tree is at is pretty far from Kihei (stayed there last year) or the start to the road of hana, from what I remember. Still looks like it sucks, a lot.

Yep. Im about 10 - 15 miles away in Kapalua. Been pretty much locked down and made evacuation plans in case it had tracked this way. At night I could see the orange glow in the sky and haze in the day. Strong winds kept the smoke away from where I am.They have most of Hwy 30 south closed with road blocks so no getting near the area, even if you have a reason to be there. Lahaina is completely destroyed. Cant believe the total devastation. What a surreal experience. No words, just prayers.

It’s a bad deal. I’ve been an Oahu resident for more than 30 years so I’ve been to Maui many times. Sad to see.

We were just in Lahaina 30 days ago. We loved it there and can't imagine that it's mostly all gone at this point. Just wow.
