Town is gone. People who live there say there were no warning sirens to alert them as the flames moved towards their homes. Billions of dollars it is going to cost to repair the damage. It is going to take many years to do that. Many of the one of the most Famous Landmarks In Lahaina is the largest banyan tree in the us. It is a majestic fig tree, 150 years old. It was a big tourist attraction. Look at it now. All burnt. Their branches are damaged by the flames. Just a bit of the history of that area left standing. Entire neighbourhoods have been destroyed. The worst hit area has been lahaina, the beach front town popular with tourists, where entire neighbourhoods and hotels have been destroyed. These are the before and after pictures. Lahaina is a Historic Town on the western tip of maui. Its centre dates back to the 1700s and is on the Us National Register of historic places. At least 270 buildings have been destroyed in the picturesque resort, which is home to about 12,000 people. Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated. Airports are packed with people trying to get away from the wildfires. Flights from maui have been returning to the mainland. 0n the way to the luau this guy was just black.

Even so some people in the bathroom basically showering in bathroom because they are homeless as they try to get out of this island. Really, there is nowhere to go. The roads are blocked. It is a small island. Some of the airlines have lowered prices for tickets to just 19 so people can evacuate of the island. People are being generous in spirit, they are getting along. You can see the airport is full of people sleeping here. They have their pillows, their blankets and everyone is trying to make do. There is a Police Presence making sure that everything is ok, but it has been surprisingly organised given what is going on outside the airport.

They finally made it to the airport where they have been waiting for their flight. They said they couldnt get any health care. He has to wait until they get back to the mainland in order to get the treatments. You can see it is becoming an increasingly desperate situation. Resources are scarce. It is a small, Remote Island in terms of being far from mainland united states. Having lost all of these resources, and with people still missing and the Emergency Services having to triage, we have been hearing the stories. We are also hearing about people acting in a heroic way, helping others, going into the flames, searching for loved ones, and those still coming to work. It really impacted me to South West Airlines people who are working 16 hour days, even though their loved ones are missing how i am people is to take care of their visitors. That is top of their minds. We are hearing a lot of devastating situations. When this first happened, Peoplejumping Into The Ocean to escape that ball of flames. Many people burning in their cars trying to get out, waiting in line to get out on single routes that were shut down as this wall of flames ripped through the island. Those stories are terrifying. It is great stew point out how heart warming it is to see the resilience of the community and people coming together. Thank you forjoining us. We are running due a live page on the website.
