Horrific footage from Maui. The entire town of Lahaina has been tragically destroyed by wildfires. Citizens reportedly ditched their cars and jumped into the ocean to avoid the fires. At least 53 people are reported dead at this time.
New video from Front Street shows virtually all of downtown Lahaina has been burned down. pic.twitter.com/i4ViDhz8K7
