I live on the Big Island and have been in a state of shock all day. Historic Old Lahaina is gone . . . GONE! So much history up in smoke!! So many lives changed, homes lost, animals killed (pets, farm, and wild). All GONE.

So, so sorry. I've experienced the effect of devastating fires in California. Both my Mom in the 1991 Oakland fire and a close friend in the Paradise fire in 2018 (I think) lost their homes. It is so tragic. Sending hugs.
I also have a friend who survived the Paradise Fire (yes 2018) with only her life and her car. I lived in CA for 15 years and am moving back there at the end of this month. WA State also has fires, that’s where I am now. It’s beautiful here.
I was on the phone with my friend as she was trying to flee in her car, but the roads were blocked. I've never felt to helpless. The next day I was evacuated due to a fire not far from my house. I was lucky.
This has just been heartbreaking news to see what is happening on Maui. As a Californian, your shock is fully understandable. We all know people who have lost everything in the big fires here. Sending ❤️ from CA.
