[ed. Heartbroken. Former capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii and legendary whaling port wiped out. More photos here; here and here: [Update]: have many relatives in Lahaina who seem to be safe at the moment, but not everyone is accounted for, and my uncle and his wife (80s) lost their home. Completely burned to the ground.]
