..."A red-flag warning was still in effect Wednesday, meaning any fires that spark would likely spread rapidly.
“We saw downed power lines — 30 power lines or more down all along the road,” Vogt said.
Residents' homes and businesses burned.
“A little place we ate at two days ago is completely burned and gone,” she said.
A shop owner told Vogt she’s never seen anything like this. Vogt says their predicament is annoying but she worries about everyone who lives and works in Maui.
With Vogt’s husband and son’s wallets stuck at their resort that they cannot get into, she said she’s not sure what will happen next. Phone lines and internet are down on that part of the island.
It’s a good lesson, she said, to take one hour at a time.
“I mean, yeah, my family is stuck for a few days and we don’t know what we’re going to do, but my heart goes out to these people who have lost everything. It happened so fast,” she said."
