Incredible devastation. Lahaina was such a charming beautiful town, a huge loss.

Absolutely agree. So sad, we loved Maui.

When it is all over then starts the rebuilding. I hope the process is more efficient than ours. It is now three and a half years since our last summer of devastation in NSW and the rebuild is still not entirely finished. There were also major issues with distributing the huge amount of money donated.

So devastating.

Hate to say it, but shouldn't they have had more fireboats in their fleet?

Horrible news. 36 souls now confirmed dead and it sound like that number is expected to climb. My condolences to everyone who has lost loved ones.
