Praying for our Maui ohana. We hope all stay safe.
In the 40 years I’ve lived on this planet, I’ve never once heard of a place as lush and moist as Hawaii suffering from wildfires, only floods, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.
I was there in March and shocked at how dry Westside was… super dry & brown. Not lush unless you go to north shore. 😢
The leeward side of all the Hawaiian islands sits in the rain-shadow of the massive volcanic mountains. We lived Lahaina for years, it's basically a desert climate there. When people think of Hawaii, they picture the windward side (lush, green), not the leeward side... but the best beaches tend to be on the dry sides. West Maui had fires every year we lived there.
I’m praying for those families who’ve lost their homes!
My heart is breaking for everyone in Lahaina. Of all the islands I would escape to Maui and Lahaina specifically for my vacations. It saddens me to think Front St is in the state it is. Hope for residents and visitors to be safe.
Does anyone know if the Banyan tree has been damaged or burned?
I’m hearing it has been burned up sadly
Oh, sooo sad!! It's a tragedy to loose Lahaina!
@@strarkvilleswaggar
I'm sure the tree was damaged, but it's so large that I also am sure it will survive and regrow...with nothing around it anymore! Unbelievable.
@@strarkvilleswaggar That hurts to hear. I am blown away today by how much that tree and Lahaina has meant to many people.
@@hebneh Yeah I have sadly seen the aerial footage. Heartbreaking to know it is damaged. Hopeful it will grow back to its glory over the next 150 years.
Former Maui Resident here. Maui used to have MULTIPLE prescribed burns because they still had the sugar cane industry at that time. They had beautiful green grass fields of cane when the cane was young. Then on the proper time and day they would burn those leafy grasses off leaving behind the cane that they would cart off to the processing factories, leaving behind a bare field ready to be replanted. Now no more prescribed burns. I have wondered if something like this would be the result of no more prescribed burns. What is there now is abandoned neglected fields which grow massive amounts of firestorm fuel unchecked. I say bring the sugar cane back! Much better to be ready for and used to the burns. This is devastating. 😢
Maui is so beautiful. My family and I were lucky enough to go there last year.
This fire is sickening.
My heart goes out to you all over there. 🙏🏾
Na ke Akua e hoopomaikai ia Maui, God bless Maui.
Im from lahaina, now im in kihei, god bless our lahaina town 😢 🙏, pray for those people who couldn’t make it. And also god bless our homes
There’s a fire there to
@@coolnox908 i know, hopefully god blesses our homes in lahaina and not burnt 😢
@@GhostfaceB808 yes, stay safe
How is Kihei? I’m supposed to go there with my fiancé on august 20th. Should we cancel or go to a different island or u think we’re good to still come?
@@SlayByJay kihei is still good but acres are burnt. Kula also had a brush fire, lahaina had a brush fire much worse, it looks like a war-zone now :-(
My mom, step dad, and little brother are there right now not getting back to our texts/calls. I’m getting worried.
We just landed leaving Maui. There was severe winds and internet and phone service is not working. Our phones were not working till we got to the airport. Praying for your family and hope this gives you some peace.
The phones are out in many places. I'm sure they're fine, there have been no reported civilian injuries that I know of. Give it a day or two until communication is reestablished.
@@NotRiansLuke they just reported there are people in the water trying to escape the fire on Front Street.
FEMA will take excellent care of them
@@screenname2206 Thank you. I texted my mom, step dad, and a relative that was out there with them yesterday. Hoping to get a response today.
🙏🏼 front street 😢
This is why you need to keep a bit of a pantry, some canned goods, keep ahead on your medications, etc. assume you have to stay home for, for instance, 2 weeks. Do you have food, water, are you OK if the power goes out? This could be for any reason, fire, earthquake, hurricane, chemical spill, somebody wen fut, whatever.

Kihei is fine. But check with your hotel.
😢😩🥺
WHERE IS OBOMA & MICHAEL??
THISISVERYBAD

Go to Lahaina it's just the rail burning
I guess the most impressive thing is that they taught a dolphin to fly a helicopter.
Great time for jokes bro.
So, so sad....ah, some Lahaina areas.... Heartbreaking Gentleman said " small fires"
kamehameha schooling, must be dragon ball fans
HAARP....OY VEY
Damn you Greta!!!
You mean Dora?
None of the videos have any firefighters anywhere !!! I’ve been looking for any kind of response team and there is none!!! They let it burn on purpose!! They did a similar thing to us here in the socal mountains this winter. We got 5’ of snow in a week (Normally 1’ is crazy for us) and immediately they always have plows running but this year not a single plow! Then they barricaded all the roads so no one could go up to help. They let these people starve and freeze to death in their homes trapped by the snow. All they had to do was run the plows like they always do instead they purposely shut down the plows blocked all support and said shut up big daddy government knows best. I have a video of me arguing with a police officer blocking us from our home on my UA-cam page. Welcome to climate lockdowns. If it’s a “natural” disaster no one is to blame…
Was supposed to visit from Arkansas but I'm good, I will save my money now lmao
Oahu is cheaper.
