Pretty sure people were running for their lives in Lehaina at about 3:30 pm.
I watched several YouTube videos in the last few days that were filmed the day of the fire. One guy has posted four or five videos. He lived there. There was no panic. The middle of the afternoon there were electrical lines down all over Lahaina. It was VERY windy. People were walking around. Every business was closed up. There was already a line of cars standing still headed south on Front Street.
The fire was across the highway on the northeast side of town.
What was really interesting was that this guy was walking by buildings that burned to the ground less than 12 hours later. Like the elementary school that was right near the water.
He continued to record videos into the night.
