We posted this in the Drayton Valley fire thread but it could use its own. I know a lot of CP'ers and Albertans in general have travelled to Maui over the years.
Two wildfires stoked by high winds from Hurricane Dora have led to some devastating results. The town of Lahaina appears to be burning to the ground, with reports of people jumping into the ocean to escape the flames, and picked up by the Coast Guard. All access into West Maui is closed as of this time.
The second wildfire appears to be NE of Kihei, on the flanks of Haleakala. Evacuations are underway in some areas near there as well.
