Damn. We stayed on Front Street a few years ago (walking distance to downtown and Baby Beach). Such a great area. We had a couple of dinners at Fleetwood’s and they let my then 9 year old son sit behind the drum set. We’ll keep an eye out for donation opportunities.

Silver lining, she looks better than expected. They apparently have extremely resilient bark, the branches will probably be fucked but from what I’ve read about them the core could be ok

We had our big summer vacation last year in Captiva. I need to stop going on vacations. Sorry Hank. Got a condo in Kihei. I'm going on 40 hours without a wink of sleep. Just awful. Family at breakfast in front of us this morning at Zippy's in Kahului talking about how they lost everything including a house that has been in the family for 60 years. So sad.

Current count up to 36 confirmed dead.

That is fucking devastating. Good lord. I will post some pictures and videos at some point from our vantage. I would have never guessed in a million years that the fires we were watching from the car could have caused that kind of damage. The wind was insane and it was obvious some structures on the South end of town were going to be affected but it just did not look like the kind of blaze that was going to level the entire town. Man oh man. I even had a video of us in the car waiting for the road to open kind of making fun of our predicament. Deleted and frankly ashamed. @Hank_Hill please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you or the local community out before Friday other than just getting out of your hair ASAP. RIP to those who were lost.

This is heartbreaking. We spent our honeymoon in Kaanapali and a good deal of time in Lahaina. I have fond memories of that area and the entire island of Maui. The loss of property was devastating but the loss of life is just horrific.

Man I really feel for the people that lost everything. Home, job, family. This is just horrific.

30 Months Later:  Hey, hope you've settled in ok.   Let me know if you need any recommendations on the island.

I’ve been forcing my wife and two pets to live in a van awaiting this day

Low key would have van lifed it for a little while at first if I didn’t have said wife and pets. Rent is noooo joke.

How are things on the island Hank? I have seen recent videos of Front St and while it looks like progress is being made...still sobering as hell.
