Very sad to look at those pictures.

One more event in a possibly devastating future to come because of climate change.
Still humanity shall overcome and survive.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Thousands are without power or cell phone service due to fires that are being fuelled by winds from a nearby hurricane in the Pacific Ocean.

Maj Gen Kenneth S Hara, who is in charge of the emergency response, said the priority at the moment is “saving lives, preventing human suffering, and mitigating great property loss”.

He warned the total number of fatalities could rise as emergency responders conduct search and rescue operations as well as evacuations.

That fire is one of several in Hawaii fuelled by strong winds by Hurricane Dora hundreds of miles offshore, low humidity and dry air, according to the National Weather Service’s Honolulu office.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) and the US Marines are assisting in firefighting and search and rescue operations, the White House said on Wednesday.

On Tuesday night, Ms Luke issued an emergency declaration and activated the state’s National Guard.
