So basically the entire island is on fire. Somehow where I am, the driest part of the island, has been so far spared.

This is Lahaina town, the popular tourist town on the island. (Not my video.) Apartments and stores have burned down. pic.twitter.com/msvj6lPgIg

Utter devastation left by the wildfires in Maui, Hawaï. It is far from hyperbole to say that Lahaina has been wiped off the map.

For those who are not on Maui, it’s hard to imagine the devastation.
