Good morning, baseball fans.
Today is an off day for the San Francisco Giants, so I thought we’d take a look at a situation that is affecting an area that is home to quite a few of our fellow Giants fans. A little over a week ago, devastating wild fires ripped through the island of Maui in Hawaii. In the week since, there are still hundreds of people missing and over a hundred people now reported as dead. In addition to thousands left displaced, who have lost everything.
Residents of Lahaina, specifically, report receiving no warning or evacuation orders, with the 911 system reportedly also going down, and struggled to get out on the town’s few exit routes, with many forced to flee into the ocean to survive the fast moving inferno.
