My beloved Lahaina gone. My wife and I loved taking walks down front street and sitting under the Banyan tree. This is so sad and devastating for so many people of Maui.

0:56 How did the blue patio umbrellas not get incinerated, but everything around it did? Something seems off 🤔

Finally someone that knows how to use their drone and get good footage! Good work! - Bad ordeal but great footage!

Such a beautiful place destroyed all in the name of greed and control by the elitists. So upsetting!

Terrible to think something so sinister happened here.

I’m left without words and only a profound sense of sadness.

This video looks like historical photos of the Allied bombing of Dresden.

Sad to know what our own government is capable of. Heartbreaking to see this.

When power lines are impacted by trees in high winds, or other issues that cause a power fault, power fuses are the first to respond, shutting down power immediately to protect transformers, circuitry and a host of other substation equipment. These fires were not started by downed power lines. But once started, with the velocity of the winds, there was no stopping them.

This is so sad. Hawaiians are an amazing people with big hearts. I was there in 2014 and had a great time. There were some instances where I got into disagreements, but it was strictly personal. They will go out of their way to make you feel welcome. And I have nothing but beautiful memories and the utmost respect for its people and culture. An amazing state with so much to see. This is the first time I've seen drone footage and the damage seems quite extensive if not cataclysmic.

Sending prayers to all the affected in Maui. From Phoenix At.

It's terribly peculiar how a whole island was taken like this. I feel this was planned after I saw a journalist show the book that was published & in bookstores week before this fire 😢 prayers & faith God will come through with truth 🙏
