A sudden, unexpected, and devastating fire has destroyed the lovely little heritage town of Lahaina on Maui, which for Hawaii, was also a vibrant tourist destination. Thirty-six people at last count were killed and given that this is early in the catastrophe and communications about evacuations were down early, it may rise. The town and all its historic artifacts, its Front Street promenade, named one of the “top ten greatest streets” by the American Planning Association, are gone. Lahaina’s giant banyan tree, planted in 1873, and the largest in the U.S., is subject to on-again, off-again reports about whether it survived the inferno. We still don’t know.

Here in California, pretty much everyone is affected — with huge numbers of us having family and friends who live in Hawaii and almost everyone having vacationed there. San Francisco’s mayor, London Breed, was reportedly vacationing on Maui when this happened.
