I have no words suitable for the magnitude of destruction in Lahaina, so I’ll just share some raw images. Aug 8 just before the fires started, and Aug 17 during recovery operations. My heart goes out to those affected.

Thanks for your ongoing views from 400 km up. There are two blue-W map-pins on isspix.com/ISS069 for your tweet; each has link to downloadable 1150-mm original (thanks @phi48). The pins are aligned E-W with four other pins starting at #Lahaina.

How often do these dry wind periods occur in Maui?

Heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers go to the local communities, families and victims .. But nature will fertilise, grow back and serve as a strong testimony of how the people will rise again ❤️
