On Thursday, Maui police said residents aren’t being allowed back into Lahaina because the area simply isn’t safe — active firefighting and search-and-recovery operations continue.“We appreciate the cooperation of our community at this challenging time so we can collectively mitigate potential safety risks,” Maui police said, in a statement posted on social media.In addition to the fatalities, officials say dozens more are injured, some critically.
“Everyone’s homeless today. Everyone’s homeless. Thousands of people are homeless today,” Lahaina resident Tiare Lawrence said. ”I’m so relieved because I found out recently that my sister was safe, my brother is safe with his children, my stepdad was found. Huge sigh of relief.”“It’s just horrible,” he added.
