A devastating wildfire swept through the town of Lahaina in Maui, Hawaii, leaving behind a trail of destruction and death.
Hundreds of residents and tourists had to flee for their lives as the flames engulfed homes, cars, and businesses. Some of them shared their stories of survival and loss over social platforms.
Marjorie St. Clair, who moved to Maui from San Francisco a few years ago, recorded a video of her narrow escape from the fire. She said she had no time to evacuate her two cats and decided to drive through the smoke and flames.
“Honestly I thought I am not going to just sit here in this parking lot and well to be a little bit over the top, die in a car because I can’t breathe. I’m just going to go for it, so that’s what I did,” said Marjorie.
She is still hoping that her cats are alive and that she can return to her home someday.
Mike shared a gruesome video of the wildfire while driving away and not rescuing a trapped lady, mentioning, “Humanity is dead. They just drove right past her and left her for dead…”
Bryce Baraoidan is another Lahaina resident who managed to get out of the fire zone. He drove about 40 miles away to stay with his family and is still waiting for updates on his house and his job.
