▲ 388 ▼ Lahaina, Hawaii (Maui) has been completely destroyed by fires (lemmy.one) submitted 3 years ago by ShustOne@lemmy.one to c/pics@lemmy.world 36 comments fedilink hide all child comments High winds from a hurricane fed fires in Maui, HI. A fire swept through Lahaina Town. Once the capital of Hawaii this place was really popular with tourists and locals. I can't believe the amount of destruction that happened in less than 12 hours.

It’s been hard to understand how much damage has been done and where. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] JoeHill@lemmy.world 16 points 3 years ago Yes.
