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.
Other pics I’ve seen look like a 90-100% loss of structures.
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
Yes unfortunately it looks like the entire town is gone
