Banyan Tree in Lahaina smoldering at the base, but still standing. Just about the only thing left, other than the Lighthouse.

Satellite imagery of parts of Lahaina, on Maui, provided by Maxar Technologies showed that the fires destroyed streets and leveled hundreds of structures, including heritage sites that housed treasured artifacts of the town.

It’s tough to see some of the images coming out of Hawai’i — a place that’s so special to so many of us. Michelle and I are thinking of everyone who has lost a loved one, or whose life has been turned upside down.
If you’d like to help, you can do so here.
