On Maui. Rumors from first responders point to a death toll in the hundreds. Lahaina town looks like it was bombed and we won't know how many people are lost until all the rubble can be searched.

If there are any deep pocketed Lemmy friends out there, please have a look at Hawaii Community Foundation or other local organizations. Please be diligent if donating, as the bot-farmed fake donation scams are already starting to pop up online.

Thank you
