Les Munn, like so many others here, has a tragic tale of survival. We spoke at one of the shelters on Maui.
His only source of guidance as he fled his Lahaina house through the smoky veil of the wildfires was a police car’s flashing blue light.
He continues, “They were landing on everything and there is just nowhere to go,” as smoke and amber began to fly and the fire simply devoured everything.
“It just went black, and the only thing I could see was the blue lights of the police unit, so that was the beacon I used to get to safety.”
In the evacuation centre, Munn claims he hasn’t run into any of his neighbours.
“That’s kept me tense, kept me stressed these past few days,” he claims.
I am unsure of their survival.
