An aerial image taken on August 10, 2023 shows destroyed homes and buildings on the waterfront burned to the ground in Lahaina in the aftermath of wildfires in western Maui, Hawaii. AFPPIX: The death toll from a terrifying wildfire that razed a historic Hawaiian town hit 53 Thursday, making it one of the deadliest disasters to strike the islands since they became a US state.
Lahaina on Thursday lay in charred, smoking ruins, with Green saying 80 percent of the town was gone. “It was a really rapidly developing scene and pretty harrowing for the victims that had to jump into the water,“ she added.“We still get dead bodies in the water floating and on the seawall,“ Lansford told CBS.
Maui County has asked visitors to leave “as soon as possible,“ and has organized buses to move evacuees from shelters to the airport.
