Close friend who lives on Kula had to evacuate last night and sleep at his cousins in Pukalani. He said the fire was coming from both sides of his property. House is safe but they have no power. Another friend who lives in Olinda....his house is safe. Both of these guys have choke property too.
The In Laws are in Kihei. The fire has already traveled there.

Burning in the Kohala district of the Big Island too, but they appear to be getting that one under control.

whoa. I've seen similar images from Northern California over the years, but something about being at the water's edge makes it even more intense.
Looks like a bomb went off. The crazy part is downtown Lahaina from what I recall doesnt really but up against any kinda wilderness. You typically assume with wildfires, at least here in California where CalFire has massive resources that these fires don’t make it very far into developed areas, particularly when you’re out of the hills and canyons country. Does Hawaii have limited resources when it comes to first responders?
Two islands with simultaneous fires? Seems a little suspicious.The In Laws are in Kihei. The fire has already traveled there.

So sad. I'm sorry for all those losing friends, family, and property. This is hard to imagine.
Yea Maui is always windy but brush fires are more frequent ever since they stopped growing pineapple and sugar cane. There was some kind of policing with workers around the area throughout the day. Not now. There is too much bare land and brush.
