Utter devastation left by the wildfires in Maui, Hawaï. It is far from hyperbole to say that Lahaina has been wiped off the map.

Not my video- a ground view of Lahaina today shows the Banyan Tree somehow still stands amidst so much destruction, for those who have been worried.
Only time will tell if it survives the injuries sustained in the fires, but it feels like a small beacon of hope in this disaster. pic.twitter.com/xZ4x2hJ3Li
