At least 36 people have died after wildfires, fanned by winds from a faraway hurricane, devastated much of the resort city Lahaina on Hawaii's Maui island, the Maui County said in a statement late on Wednesday.
So for reference, Lahaina is pretty much the tourist center on Maui - it would be like if Vegas had lost the Strip in its entirety. Not quite sure how it’ll impact the whole tourism industry across the islands, but Maui itself is basically crippled economically until they can rebuild Lahaina.
