VIDEO 1: The first flames in Lahaina, at 6:40 a.m. VIDEO 2: The scene 12 hours later at the waterfront 1 mile downhill. Here is our story of what transpired in between that helped turn Lahaina into a death trap: nytimes.com/2023/08/15/us/…
Help Maui Fire Victims: Here’s How You Can Donate civilbeat.org/2023/08/help-m…
Firefighters told the @nytimes that fire hydrants ran dry as they tried to battle the deadly Lahaina blaze. That forced them to essentially give up on stopping the fire and instead try to help people flee. (No paywall. w/ @ByMikeBaker @Kellen_Browning) nytimes.com/2023/08/13/us/…
The people of Maui are remarkable. For days, they have been shuttling water in pickup trucks and gas by boat, distributing aid with little help from government agencies. But many are still pleading for support to come soon: “We need some help here.” nytimes.com/2023/08/13/us/…
NEW: Firefighters in Maui say that as they rushed to slow the Lahaina blaze, their water hydrants ran dry. nytimes.com/2023/08/13/us/…
Heartbreaking. The death toll just keeps rising. Officials are now saying that 80 have died in Maui.
Scenes from Lahaina: • An 80-year-old, now homeless, sits alone under the banyan tree • A couple bashes open their safe to find savings in ashes • With few crews on scene, streets are eerily silent • Carcasses of birds and cats • The death toll rises nytimes.com/2023/08/11/us/…
The death toll has risen again Maui. Now at 67 people. The deadliest U.S. wildfire of the past century was the 2018 Camp Fire in California. That fire had 85 deaths. nytimes.com/live/2023/08/1…
An analysis of satellite images found that ~1,900 structures appear visibly damaged or destroyed by wildfires in Lahaina nytimes.com/interactive/20…
UPDATE: The death toll in Maui has now reached 55. nytimes.com/live/2023/08/1…
NEW: The death toll in Maui has jumped to 36 people. nytimes.com/live/2023/08/1…
If you are looking for a way to support the many people impacted by the Maui wildfires, county officials are directing potential donors to two charitable organizations: • The Hawaiʻi Community Foundation: hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/maui-strong • Maui United Way: mauiunitedway.org/disasterrelief
Here are some before-and-after satellite images showing the devastation across Lahaina. Not only did the fire wipe out the Banyan Court / Front Street / waterfront areas that are popular with tourists, but it also destroyed MANY residential homes to the east. via @Maxar
7 teens were critically injured after an Idaho school bus was involved in a rollover crash on a highway. The bus was part of a YMCA camp program.

@ByMikeBaker Thank you Mike! Appreciate it as always!
pull all the scientists off that semiconductor bullshit, we have to figure out how that cop flew out of that slide so fast
Slide POV for all the slide fans
Thank you to @ByMikeBaker for this amazing article about the tour nytimes.com/2023/08/01/us/…
@ByMikeBaker Sure, if you want to make them cry you monster!
@ByMikeBaker @NickAtNews I have definitely not recovered from reading it as a kid - but reading it together sounds good!
@ByMikeBaker In my child's case, she did not want any stories with animals dyingl, being hurt etc. I found that out the hard way. (Old Yeller?) You might have a general conversation about books with sad endings and animals and would it be ok to read those types of books.
@ByMikeBaker I would recommend letting your son know it has a sad ending and ask him if he wants to read it. I have an incredible empathetic, animal loving child and I always give her a heads up if an animal character dies, most recently True Grit.
@ByMikeBaker Only if you want to traumatize him for his entire life.
@ByMikeBaker Yes. Will bring out emotions they never knew they had and how to heal from those emotions. Especially in today’s toxic world today. Best book ever.
@ByMikeBaker Still traumatized from the movie…drive in with my parents in ca. 1973ish. I can’t even read as an adult!!!
@ByMikeBaker I would ask them “Do you want to read a great book about dogs, even if it has a sad ending? Or would you rather read a book where nothing too sad happens?” Not sure what that would be but there might be lower stakes dog books out there. This kind of book destroyed me as a kid!
@ByMikeBaker That book traumatized me. Do it.
@ByMikeBaker OMG I sobbed my way though that book as a 10 year old!!
@ByMikeBaker Not if your kid’s school is going to do it, that’s a really great book to read and discuss with peers.
@ByMikeBaker Amazing book. I don't see why not. It's real.
@ByMikeBaker yes. i think i read it around then and cried but i appreciated it!
