Maui

The photos and videos from the air make it hard to imagine how anyone in the path survives at the speed the fire was moving. Such a tragedy and such a devastating outcome, can’t imagine being a family still waiting to find love ones. So sad an historic capitol and entire community is destroyed, makes one take stock of how lucky you are.

T&P’s to those pour souls.

Weather extremes our new norm, first ever hurricane warning for Southern California was issued and with all this rain it’s like living in the tropics. Three tornado touch downs in mass, plus one in RI, hold on to your hats it’s just going to get worse.

Very sad. Neighbor across the street have canceled their Hawaii trip. Niece was having a wedding in maui and not sure what she is going to do now even though the resort they booked is fine. Reception was going to be here in connecticut, but her dream is always to have a small wedding on the beach in Maui. The fire was moving at a mile a minute.
