Very dire.

What happens in a black hole stays in a black hole.

Re: Report from Maui

Anyone know how to send help $$ that might actually get to the people in need.

Kai Lenny endorsed a gofundme run by Slater Trout (a Maui local.) You can find it on Trout's instagram page. There is no charge by gofundme (though they do ask for voluntary amount.)

Climate change played a big role in the Maui fires. Here is some good news in today's NY Times (and other news) on our long effort to force an evidence-based approach to addressing the cause of climate impacts.

Re: Report from Maui

Here is another legit option from Lahaina local/waterman champion Zane Schweitzer’s mom - please forward so she can reach her goal:

Aloha, this is Shawneen at Maui Sports Adventures. I’m sure you’ve heard of the destructive fires that consumed our town, we need your help. Please consider donating or sharing to our West Maui fire victims go fund me. If you are receiving this text, you have enjoyed Maui with us and probably fallen in love with our West Maui community. It is our home and it has our heart. To give you an update. Our town of Lahaina is completely devastated by fires. The death toll is currently 100 but it is likely to go up tenfold. There is really nothing left of Lahaina. Our schools and medical centers, 3000 homes and businesses were consumed. The water is now toxic and not drinkable. The only Highway in and out to get supplies to us is closed. Everyone we know has lost either a loved one, a pet, or their home and life savings. our sons and I have been volunteering 20 hours a day since this began to help our neighbors. Our home for some reason was saved because we are so high on the hill but we had to do something to help others. This fund will go towards the people who need it the most. We appreciate your support and say a prayer for our community ? GoFundMe, https://gofund.me/76b83297
