On August 8th, a fire erupted on the island of Maui fueled by the winds of Cat 4, Hurricane Dora, it quickly spread through the incredibly dry town of Lahaina igniting everything in it's path. The devastating results have been compared to that of a nuclear explosion with some remains having nearly been vaporized, incredibly hard to recognize and distingrating when touched. The lives lost have been insurmountable as the death toll continues to rise, making this the most deadly fire in the US in over 100 years. At the time of writing this there are 99 confirmed deaths and over 1,000 people still missing. Structures lost have been estimated at around 2,200 with 86% of these being Residential. Most residents had zero warning as Hawaii's advanced siren system never went off. The hurricane winds which downed power lines and took out cell towers, made it impossible for residents to receive cell phone warnings.  Some neighborhoods were hit in the middle of the night after being told it was safe to return to their homes, survivors were alerted by neighbors to get out as the fire was quickly surrounding the area. Many never received any warning. The full devastating impact of this tragedy is yet to be realized.
