Lahaina is a very special place to my family as well. We travel to Hawaii basically every year and Maui has always been my favorite. I don’t know how many birthdays or anniversaries we’ve celebrated there, but every one was special. Heartbreaking to see what has happened.
Yes, truly heartbreaking. Fearing the official death toll may spiral upward, given how swiftly and without real warning the entire town was engulfed in flames. Straight line winds of up to 80mph were supposedly blowing down the mountain slope, straight for the coast and Lahaina town.
