MAJOR Wildfire Burns Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii - Aug. 9, 2023 [View all]

This is so horrible. I was here in March and I try to go every year to watch the humpback whales that visit every winter. I stay a few miles away in Napili but I spend a lit of time in Lahaina. I'm heartbroken and so sad for the good people there.
