At least 53 people have died as of Thursday evening after wildfires, fanned by winds from a faraway hurricane, devastated much of the resort city of Lahaina on Hawaii's Maui island, Maui County said in a statement.

Multiple neighborhoods were burnt to the ground as the western side of the island was nearly cut off, with only one highway open and thousands to evacuate as officials told of widespread devastation to Lahaina, its harbor and surrounding areas.

Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said it would take “many years” to rebuild the historic town of Lahaina and estimated damage to be in the billions of dollars. He said the extent of the destruction in Lahaina would “shock you.”

Officials said the winds from Hurricane Dora, hundreds of miles to the southwest, had fanned the flames across the state.

The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency said late on Wednesday that the National Weather Service has cancelled the "Red Flag Warning" and "High Wind Advisory" for all Hawaiian islands, but Maui County officials said firefighting efforts were ongoing.

They’d rather burn it down and rule over the ashes. All these fires ain’t coincidence.

Sending your prayers does absolutely nothing in helping these people. Find ways to actually support others by donating goods or services.

So many "sending prayers". Fixes as much as it ever has, send more cash if you really want to help.

Over 4 minutes of useless content. Would it have been so hard to leave a pinned comment? Something that says:

It was such a shame that people didn't evacuate in time. I guess they had their reasons. RIP. Hopefully, people will take things more seriously now.
I had to evacuate my home 3 times this year because of wildfires. I'm not going to die for property.

For some reason I can't wrap my mind around this. I don't think 'Maui' and 'wildfires'. Here's praying for lots of RAIN.
