The historic city of lahaina, once the capital of the hawaiian kingdom, has been reduced to ruins. Almost everyone who lives here has lost everything. We already know this is the deadliest disaster in the states history, and the number of those who died is still climbing. This was lahainas historic seafront, now reduced to ashes. Bustling streets and shops all razed to the ground. But its too early to accurately assess the full extent and impact of this disaster. Buildings burned to the ground have not yet been searched.
