A brush fire is prompting Maui authorities to evacuate residents from a neighborhood in Lahaina, just a few miles from the site recently ravaged by blazes.
An evacuation order had been issued for a residential area of Lahaina in the hills above Kaanapali resort hotels, the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency said. The order was for an area around Anapuni Loop, the agency said in a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.In another startling scene, a twister was captured on video just yards away from the smoke on Maui.
At least 115 people were killed and 2,000 structures destroyed when a wildfire tore through downtown Lahaina on Aug. 8. Minimal rains have pushed the area into drought. The horrific devastation from the Maui fires has made it the deadliest wildfire in modern U.S. history, and thousands have been displaced after losing their homes.
