My sympathy to you all❤ It’s been 5.5yrs since the Camp Fire in Paradise Ca & I am going to move into my rebuilt house next month. It’s been a long haul but with help from wonderful people it is happening. Be patient & love one another❤️

We've been to Maui many times, and have walked up and down Front Street at least one time during every visit. Have sat under the banyan tree having a snack and a drink. It's hard to comprehend the devastation from the fire. I can only hope the people of Lahaina are made whole and can once again enjoy their homes in the beautiful place.

So happy to see real progress. Hope the locals that lost everything are being fairly treated by the government and insurers.

Watching this with tears in my eyes. Back in the 80’s and 90’s, my friends and I built many of the homes and businesses on Front St. We built Bob and Gail Longhi’s home, his son’s home and remodeled the restaurant. Also many other art galleries, restaurants and homes there. All are completely gone … so sad. Our hearts ache for the people of Maui. I lived there for years and they are some of the best memories I have. No matter what is rebuilt, it will never be as beautiful as the old Lahaina. Maui no ka oi!

8 months later and it still breaks my heart.

Thank you so much for these videos! I am a Native Californian that has been coming to Maui since in was 12 years old… I am now quite a few decades older than that… but my heart has felt the love of these island’s since then, and always will….My husband and I spent our Honeymoon there, Renewed our Wedding vows there, have brought our children there, and now our grandchildren.There as well! Maui will always be in our heart & soul…keep the video’s coming!

Back in the 70s I had a sailboat in Lahaina harbor and lived up in Napili. I had so many wonderful moments in Lahaina. I loved sitting under the banyan tree or grabbing breakfast on the patio at the Pioneer Inn. Cooking my own Mahi in their restaurant is another treasured memory. Walking down front street and window shopping, especially with friends from the mainland was awesome. It has been decades since I had to move back to the mainland but as I watched Lahaina burn on TV I just cried and cried. Thanks for this update, it gives me hope.

[debclark]

Oh my goodness this is devastating!! My family and I were there just a couple of years ago and it was so beautiful!! I know it will be again. Thank you so much for this video. West Maui is my happy place and I look forward to coming back! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[robinbanks]

I used to live in Maui until late January of this year and my grandma used to live in Front ST apartments (the apartments on the other side of the street of Kahoma at 10:19) and seeing them like that breaks my heart because I spent half of my childhood there

[Padoinky]

We’ve stayed at the RC Kapalua 5x over the last 20 yrs… glad we were able to share the past Maui experience w/ our children and hopefully we can revisit once the restoration has completed

[osimnod]

The devastation is so similar to what we experienced through the Camp Fire that nearly destroyed Paradise, CA on 8 Nov 2018. It's been 5 years and the town is recovering but many scars - emotional, physical and historic - remain. Best wishes in your recovery and having hope for the future.

[triciasagecreek]

These are so appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to do this.. our hearts are still with the people of Maui.. I hope that some of those historical buildings can be restored

[vickiwest]

So very grateful to you, Jesse, for continuing to provide us with these fact-based, non-political, updates. Those of us who love Hawaii but are not residents . . . our hearts continue to go out to you all.
