Places to donate info, if you are looking:

King's Cathedral (777 Maui Veterans Highway, Kahului, HI 96732) Hope Chapel (300 E Welakahao Rd, Kihei, HI 96753) Maui Food Bank (760 Kolu Street, Wailuku, HI 96793-1438)

These two churches are good donation options.

  King's Cathedral has set up a shelter in their church building and is currently helping many from Lahaina and also tourist stuck here that need to get home. They have teamed up with Costco to get donations to the victims of the wildfires.

   Hope Chapel in Kihei is getting set up to help victims of the Lahaina fire. They are a good donation.

   Maui Food Bank also teams up with Costco. The Maui Food Bank from what I have heard is Costco's biggest buyer and the food bank's dollar goes further than an individual's dollars.

Thanks for asking, all help is appreciated

Sad, I was in Lahaina 2 weeks ago, beautiful historic tourist town.

That’s where I stayed when I was there. I stayed in the Westin beside the golf course. They were having a men’s professional senior golf tournament while I was there.

My girlfriend is in LA now, as her flight to Maui was delayed because of the fires. I had not heard of the wildfires prior to this morning. I guess her sister's place is not near them, otherwise they would have been notified ahead of time. Still, this is news to me.

Our resort is in Lahaina. We only booked because we had miles from a previous cancelled trip to S. Africa. No big deal, just going to sit my ass on the beach in Florida instead.

They shoulda picked that lady up. I know they are straight out panicking but still....

Terrible...

When the basic offshore trades exceed 30+, the venturi effect on the islands is going to be ridiculous.

I bet the soil erosion in the now abandoned cane fields is atrocious.

Wildfires on the Big Island as well.

There's apparently a wildfire near where we are moving in a few years.  Because we own the land, we are on the mailing list for the community, and there were some panicked emails yesterday.  The fire jumped across the highway, which freaked out a lot of people.  Apparently a building was lost further south, and in the community across the street a roof caught fire - but the house was saved.

Yea, one of our stops in a couple of weeks was at MrsTB's cousins place at Mauna Kea.

Agreed.  What, 2 or 3 grown men who were passengers? The car is moving at a pace of just a couple of mph?  Yes, it's going to be brutally hot opening those doors, but to just pass by her like that?  

I don't know.  Put the fucking phone down, and try do something?

There is no way I am judging their action or inactions.  It is a fight or flight type situation where you are looking your own death right in the eyes.   We can sit here and say what if what if all day long.

That’s a heck of a choice.

Stay there and burn alive or jump into the ocean and get eaten by hammerheads or tiger sharks.

I didnt know wildfires were a thing in Hawaii.  I thought it rained there almost daily so I assumed it would be too wet for them.
