High winds from a hurricane fed fires in Maui, HI. A fire swept through Lahaina Town. Once the capital of Hawaii this place was really popular with tourists and locals. I can’t believe the amount of destruction that happened in less than 12 hours.

Is this the main/tourist part of Lahaina? It’s been hard to understand how much damage has been done and where.
Yes. See that big black smoldering mess behind that white building? That is (was?) the Banyan Tree. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banyan_tree_in_Lahaina
Other pics I’ve seen look like a 90-100% loss of structures.
Yes unfortunately it looks like the entire town is gone
