Holy shit - up to a thousand people are missing

[catbyte]

11. I haven't been this distraught since my fiance died unexpectedly in 2019.

I've been on the verge of tears ever since it happened. I'm okay then a memory hits and the tears come. I feel so bad for the wonderful people there. I've been in love with Lahaina and West Maui since first going there in 1988. My traveling buddy and I had such a good time when we went there in March. I remember how magical it was just relaxing in the shade under the Banyan Tree after a 3-hour whale watch and then lunch at the Pioneer Inn. I still can't believe it's all gone.
