Lahaina, Hawaii (Maui) has been completely destroyed by fires

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.

Video of someone trying to evacuate Lahaina last night, pretty apocalyptic: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvt93fktqtZ/

Holy fuck.

I've been on the Internet for almost 30 years and that's one of the most intense videos I've ever seen.

Even as a person who's gone through the Almeda fires in Southern Oregon, this is one of the most horrifying videos I've watched. The entire area seems to be engulfed in flames, I hope everyone is able to evacuate safely.
