County is suing Hawaiian Electric, alleging its power lines caused the wildfire that destroyed and killed at least 115 people

Official number missing is 1054 , on top of 115 confirmed dead, per Maui County officials. (personal comment: If that number does not decrease, possibility this disaster could exceed the greatest number of deaths from wildfire in all US history, 1152 dead in Peshtigo in 1871). https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2023/08/24/mourning-maui-families-dna-identification-offers-important-sense-closure/

Hundreds of "have you seen this person" flyers from on social media... people "flying in to search for" brothers/sisters/parents/children. I don't think those folks are mentally prepared for what has happened there. Hoping they find some peace and closure in the future. 🙏

This sounds like a beautiful dream. Let's make it come true. Build a new that incorporates the best of old . Don't let Lāhaina turn into a whitebread tourist trap.
