There's heartbreak for so many who are mourning loved ones still missing after the Maui wild fire. Now, we're beginning to find out exactly how the fire started with the help of videos shot by residents at the beginning of the smoke and flames. Sparks, then smoke when power lines fell and ignited the dry grass. Lahaina resident Shane Treu told police that he "Sent his family away" but he remained with just a small water hose to try to put out flames and protect his property. Sadly, in just minutes, after being whipped by gusty winds, there was no stopping the flames.
Prayers and deepest sympathies go out to everyone impacted in this unimaginable tragedy.- Michael J
