Lahaina on the Hawaiian island of Maui is being obliterated by terrible wildfires today whipped up tropical storm Hurricane Dora – the historic and beautifu resort is feared lost
Terrifying footage shows panicked families fleeing through an inferno surrounded by flames on all sides as the beautiful island of Maui in Hawaii burns today.
Dozens if not hundreds of heartbreaking clips and images have poured out from the paradise island today amid fears the historically popular tropical holiday getaway of Lahaina in Maui County has been completely destroyed.
It’s a perfect storm. Deadly powerful winds from Hurricane Dora have lashed the island and whipped up the flames from the wildfires. Tired firefighters have seen massive blazes they had thought contained re-erupt and spread as the winds lap them up.
And the footage is truly terrifying, as panicking Hawaiians are seen driving through the flames and smoke, with very little visibility.
