Christina reposted a screenshot from her parents Facebook pages, in which they explained that they had “relocated to Kihei,” which is 23 miles south of Lahaina. “We are safe, have electricity and a place to stay,” they added.
“While in the Lahaina area, we didn’t have electricity, internet, tv and only limited cell service,” they continued. “Didn’t realize the extent of the devastation until this morning when I could see a bit of internet.”
The pair also discussed the impact of the wildfires and shared photos of the destruction.
“The whole area of Lahaina Town is gone,” they wrote. “People from hotel areas are lined up by the hundreds to get on the buses that are transporting them to the airport. There is no electricity in the Lahaina area, stores and restaurants are closed. So many people have lost their homes.”
“It took us a couple of tries to get road access out. We made it,” they concluded. “It is such a tragedy.”
Christina noted that she was “grateful” that her parents are safe and sent her well wishes to those affected by the fires.
“What’s happened there is beyond devastating,” she said. “My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by these horrible fires.”
