Unimaginable.
I live kahului and was working there in Lahaina 3 weeks ago. It seems so unreal.
My heart goes out to the families who have lost loved ones. God bless us all.
Say a prayer. Life is fragile.

Heart breaking. Such a beautiful place with so many special memories for so many people. Such an immensely tragic loss of life.

Apocalyptic. Absolutely savage fires, so sorry to everyone who lost people, animals and homes

I remember visiting Lahaina years ago. Such a beautiful place. My condolences to all. Stay strong.

Still don't know why it's called a forest fire when there is clearly NO forest just an entire city. With a selected few unscathed

That’s strange. Some trees are intact but covered in sage. While most of the houses right next to the trees completely turned to ruble

It is so upsetting. Difficult to put into words. I"m from Lithuania, very close to Belarus and war in Ukraine is only 800 miles away. This footage seems like after bombarding of what we see every day. This is so heartbreaking to see your homes, memories, families that devastated.

The emergency warning sirens were never turned on. Many people didn’t know until it was too late and they were surrounded by fire. A horrible way to go. I hope the survivors can heal quickly.

How did the blue umbrellas survive such intense heat? Blue holds a strange pattern in this fire!

Absolute devastation. Broken lives. Broken dreams. War zone doesn’t describe this accurately. 😔😔😔😔

From South Africa 🇿🇦you are in our prayers 🙏🏾 it’s so sad😢

This hurts badly! Our prayers and thoughts are with everyone effected. As a 32 year resident of Ft. Myers Beach (except 9/22-5/23), these videos hit directly to the gut. The sights are all too familiar.

My family and I have so many fond memories, from numerous trips to Lahaina and the area shown. We will assist Maui in every way possible. Stay strong and God Bless!

I have lived in Lahaina since the 1990s. I’m still on west Maui this to this day. This is the first drone footage I’ve seen that actually shows the up close details of the streets I’ve walked along for decades. Yes, I cried. Everything I knew is gone, including a few close friends. We are still struggling this Christmas. Lady Lahaina was so caring and loving. She is not gone as her spirit is still felt. I am only 3 miles away from this but watching this seems like I’m miles away. My heart aches so badly. You can’t help but think that there is something way bigger at play here.
I will one day be blessed to walk these street again one she is reborn. Im anxiously awaiting for her to awaken. I love her so.

Absolutely terrible. My heart goes out to everyone facing this.
