Thousands of Maui residents are still displaced, wondering when they can return home after the historic town of Lahaina was reduced to ashes.
It's been more than a month since the worst natural disaster in Hawaii's history devastated Maui. Officials believe residents may not be able to return to what's left after the fires for up to nine months.
Some are still hoping to hear from loved ones as Hawaii's governor says there's still as many as 66 identified people who are missing. Others are mourning the loss of loved ones as the official death toll now sits at 115. Ekolu Lindsey is another victim of the disaster, and he says it's now about taking small steps and always moving forward.
Among the three residents we spoke with, they lost eight properties. Some homes. Some businesses. Yet the fact remains that even though cameras have largely left the island, the heartbreak that we saw last month is still there now.
