I am so grateful to have been fortunate enough to visit a few months before the fire. I spent a good hour just sitting under the Banyan tree watching Mama Hen and her 11 babies do their chickeny thing right beside me. Mama even sat down on the bench at my side for a moment. I had wished we could experience a rain squall and while we were there, that's exactly what happened. Walking along afterwards the warm water running down the street felt lovely on my feet. Our hearts ache hard for everyone affected in that magical place. I hope to one day come back and experience that magic again and celebrate the rebirth.
OMG. I can't stop crying seeing your video. I stay in Maui every year to refocus my core energy weed out all unwanted noises. I miss all beautiful places. Beautiful people always smiling and calm sweet loving people whom take great care of their business. Kihei to all the way down to Wailea. Big beach... small beach... walking all the way to the lava spill... Wow. I am speechless. Thank you for sharing.... I truly appreciate for your time and effort producing this video. XOXO
We've been to Maui many times, and have walked up and down Front Street at least one time during every visit. Have sat under the banyan tree having a snack and a drink. It's hard to comprehend the devastation from the fire. I can only hope the people of Lahaina are made whole and can once again enjoy their homes in the beautiful place.

Keep the videos coming! We love Maui and have visited yearly for 35+ years pre-fire. We love the Plantation Inn and it’s hard to imagine Lahaina in its current state. Sorry we missed seeing the videos that you were forced to take down. Hopefully you can repost soon.

Was just looking at pics yesterday. Our 4th trip to Maui. Normally stay in S Kihei but stayed in Lahaina. We took friends that hadn’t been before. Although it rained almost the whole time we still had amazing trip. We all got Tattoos at little shop off front street. Skin Factory Artist name is Taki . Still have her in my texts. Just broke my heart when I woke to the news. It’s was heart stopping. To see where we grabbed a plate and looked out at all the amazing places and heritage. The Banyan Tree was beautiful. Oh the stories I’m sure those twisted limbs and branches could tell. Lord knows we had a few to tell too lol. I will hold that place and those family lost and those that had to restore their lives. Mahalo ❤
My sympathy to you all❤ It’s been 5.5yrs since the Camp Fire in Paradise Ca & I am going to move into my rebuilt house next month. It’s been a long haul but with help from wonderful people it is happening. Be patient & love one another❤️

My condolences to you and your family Shirley and I am so glad that your home was rebuilt and you will soon be moving back in. It takes a lot of strength, prayers and courage to survive something like this.
So happy to see real progress. Hope the locals that lost everything are being fairly treated by the government and insurers.
Watching this with tears in my eyes. Back in the 80’s and 90’s , my friends and I built many of the homes and businesses on Front St. We built Bob and Gail Longhi’s home, his son’s home and remodeled the restaurant. Also many other art galleries, restaurants and homes there. All are completely gone … so sad. Our hearts ache for the people of Maui. I lived there for years and they are some of the best memories I have. No matter what is rebuilt, it will never be as beautiful as the old Lahaina. Maui no ka oi!

@@khunopie9159 We concur with that "thank you" for posting the video. Your presentation pointing out the locations and landmarks was excellent. Seeing this video was both encouraging and saddening. We have walked these streets many times over the years and have always had special feelings for Lahaina. We all hope for the best during and after this clean up period.
I appreciate the delicate balance you presented, from the original beauty, through the horrible devastation, and on to hope for the future. Nicely done.
I used to live in Maui until late January of this year and my grandma used to live in Front ST apartments (the apartments on the other side of the street of Kahoma at 10:19) and seeing them like that breaks my heart because I spent half of my childhood there
We were there a few months before the fire, it's still so hard to process that it is no longer there...We have spent much time over the last 30 years...Thank you for keeping us updated I really appreciate your videos.
Thank you and God bless the people of Maui, Hawaii.
Shaking my head in disbelief. Mahalo for doing this video. As a Brit who loves Hawaii and has visited 7 times. To see this breaks my heart. I truly hope the people that lost loved ones and homes etc are coping . It must be so hard. Aloha.
Back in the 70s I had a sailboat in Lahaina harbor and lived up in Napili. I had so many wonderful moments in Lahaina. I loved sitting under the banyan tree or grabbing breakfast on the patio at the Pioneer Inn. Cooking my own Mahi in their restaurant is another treasured memory. Walking down front street and window shopping, especially with friends from the mainland was awesome. It has been decades since I had to move back to the mainland but as I watched Lahaina burn on TV I just cried and cried. Thanks for this update, it gives me hope.
Thank you so much for these videos! I am a Native Californian that has been coming to Maui since in was 12 years old… I am now quite a few decades older than that… but my heart has felt the love of these island’s since then, and always will….My husband and I spent our Honeymoon there, Renewed our Wedding vows there, have brought our children there, and now our grandchildren.There as well! Maui will always be in our heart & soul…keep the video’s coming!
Jesse, as a former resident of Lahaina, I can’t Thank You enough for all of your Amazing Updates!! God Bless You and please continue to do your Amazing work!! The videos are emotional to watch and yet allowing the world a glimpse into the progress being made into this tragedy. The before and after pics are particularly appreciated!!

I went through the terrible LNU fire 2020 in California. The Maui fire has given me much PTSD. This video has given me much healing. I fully understand the timeline and I greatly appreciate knowing what's been done and seeing the progress. Those that have not been through this type of event expect everything to turn around in a week or a month and that's not going to happen. This process is at least a 3-year project. Everyone hang in there, we will all get through this together. Thank you very much for these video updates They are uplifting.
I will never get over the devastation. It still seems impossible. We have been visiting Maui for 20 years and it’s our 2nd home. We know every inch of lahaina town and loved it and the people. We were supposed to be there a week after the fire. We have planned a trip in August. I wasn’t sure I could go. We have friends and family to see so we will make the trip but I’m dreading driving the highway and seeing everything. The mana is so strong in Hawaii. I know it will heal. ❤️❤️❤️☀️☀️☀️🌺🌺🌺

How can it heal when the monzterz responsible are still running things? You think it was a one hit deal? No. The monsters are planning a whole lot more satanyst offences. Taking of lands, theft of homes, businesses, rights, and more. And they are not planning on letting up, that I can see. Where are the sheriffs and why are they not doing their OBLIGATED DUTY?

Everyone on island is still in shock. We were there Jan-Feb, and volunteered some reluef work. It hurts the heart to see the town devastated like this. But Hawaiians are resilient; keep ohana close, talk story, and spend as much $ locally as possible. Lahaina will return...changed, but still the ❤️ of Maui.

Visited Lahaina for the first time in 2018 (from Oahu) and loved what the town had to offer. I remember parking at the lot on the south side and having a stroll down the street looking for magnets, and having shave ice. Breaks my heart that this happened to the people and community. Come back stronger than ever before Lahaina , God bless ❤
Thank you for keeping us updated on the progress in Lahaina. We have so many memories of vacationing there.
These are so appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to do this.. our hearts are still with the people of Maui.. I hope that some of those historical buildings can be restored
The devastation is so similar to what we experienced through the Camp Fire that nearly destroyed Paradise, CA on 8 Nov 2018. It's been 5 years and the town is recovering but many scars - emotional, physical and historic - remain. Best wishes in your recovery and having hope for the future.

Same happened to Blue River Oregon and Detroit Oregon in the 2020 fires. Even google maps used it as an opportunity to make blue river oregon show up not on the blue river or in the town, but on a random spot of the mckenzie river 10 mins upstream. It was a town on the map until that fire and google immediately changed the towns location

We’ve stayed at the RC Kapalua 5x over the last 20 yrs… glad we were able to share the past Maui experience w/ our children and hopefully we can revisit once the restoration has completed
Mahalo for the visual update. Lived in Lahaina for 7+ years. So sad, so grateful.
The comeback of Lahaina is going to be one for the history books! God bless Maui.

My family and I were so very fortunate to come October before the fire. it’s heartbreaking having to see not only the damaged area but how unrecognizable it is now. My heart goes out to all the Lahaina fire victims. ❤ Maui Strong 💪🏻
Thank you for doing these videos. Weve been visiting every year for 20 years and Lahaina feels like a very dear old friend. We were just there but couldn’t see the condition of our loved places. The devastation we did see broke my heart and the stories of survival we heard were so traumatic. Our hearts and our prayers are with everyone there.
Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s good to see progress being made. Thanks!
Dang i use to always go to that wharf cinema center and breezing through that iconic front street of the pacific. OMG so unfathomable the devastation 😢
So very grateful to you, Jesse, for continuing to provide us with these fact-based, non-political, updates. Those of us who love Hawaii but are not residents . . . our hearts continue to go out to you all.
Thank you for sharing, this video answered a lot of my questions about not only the progress made but the processes being done to clean up the materials. I was just in Maui last week for my annual vacation, and was so sad as I drove past Lahaina and could see the devastation from the highway. With that said, I still had the most amazing and relaxing vacation as the rest of Maui is still alive and well although many people who work in the other locations are directly affected by this or lost family members. The number one rule if you are planning a visit to Maui is to NOT ask the locals questions about the fire. If they want to talk about the fire they will, but many are still grieving and do not want to be reminded of this tragic event.
Really appreciate the time you have taken to put together these videos! So devastating! Must be difficult for the men and women involved in the clean up! Bless them always!
I grew up in Maui and lahaina was a daily part of my life and the last time I was there was 2011 and I am so sad that I didn't get to see it again before the fires. I look forward to visiting when it is back up and running. Thank you for this video.
I spent 3 summers roaming the Front Street area as a young boy in the early 80s. My mom worked at the Wharf and lived in a awesome little ramshackle neighborhood on the ocean down where the Luau center sits now. A stone's throw from the old pier and Jodo Mission. I've always been sad that neighborhood is gone, but all of this is SO heartbreaking! I'm curious to know if they're going to restore the Jodo Mission... Glad to hear some progress is being made on the residence side at least. Thank you for the documentation. Following!
Thank you for this video. I just returned from Lahaina/Napili on Monday. The people there are so kind and friendly. I'm glad progress has been made thus far but in my opinion it's not enough. I met so many displaced locals who are still struggling to re-establish themselves. The response by local, state and federal government has been sickening, especially the federal government. The community there needs more help. Badly.
A very heartfelt and honest assessment and retrospective of the heartbreaking losses but optimism going forward. Thank you.
I’ve been watching your videos thanks for the updates!
Devastating. My favorite city on the Islands. The people of Maui and Hawaii have suffered terrible losses and I pray that they can begin to feel at peace again and rebuild that beautiful city. I realize that many lost loved ones and that is a very hard thing to come to terms with.

I live in Chico California 10 miles to the east is Paradise California. Back in November 2018 there was the Camp Fire that took out a town of 30,000. The next day it was determined that at least 95 percent of Paradise was gone and 86 people lost their lives. Now fast forward to 2024 Paradise is being rebuilt there's about 10,000 people living in the town as of April 30 24. Now what in Hawaii is tragic but like Paradise you will rebuild and it's going to take Long time for things to get back to normal but remember if Paradise can do it so can Lihiena... God bless.
Hard to watch this without shedding a tear. We were there just a few weeks before the fire and fell in love with Lahaina.
Oh my goodness this is devastating!! My family and I were there just a couple of years ago and it was so beautiful!! I know it will be again. Thank you so much for this video. West Maui is my happy place and I look forward to coming back! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Just returned last night from a week on Maui. The recovery is slow, the roads are still restricted and there are workers at every entrance into the affected areas making sure only residents are allowed access. It was truly sad to see how bad it is. Donated cash at the Round Table Pizza on Kekaa Dr to show my support and made sure we made our purchases at the locals pop up tents and small roadside vendors. Was an amazing time and great talking to the locals. They are so laid back and welcoming. I didn't want to leave and wish I could move my family there as the culture and people are what make it so great.
Thank you again for this update. I really appreciate it. I hope to get back to Maui as soon as it makes sense--sounds like sometime in 2026. I am impressed that they have cleared 25% of the properties and also so pleased that they are using local workers as a large part of their cleanup crew.
Breaks my heart. I can’t imagine what the families have gone through.
This is just HEARTBREAKING 💔
Seeing the after and then the before brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing and thanks for your work.
Lahaina is my home away from home. This is difficult to watch but the way you presented it gives me home that it won’t be too long before we too are walking this streets. Thank you for your awesome work.
Thank you so much for making this video. ❤
Great video. I used to live in Crossroads Apartments at 767 Luakini St.
This makes me want to cry. I love you Maui! ❤
Thank you for making this video. This is absolutely heartbreaking. I used to love walking up and down Front Street. This video really showed how it's all just ashes now. I just can't imagine how the locals must feel,... especially those who lost loved ones in the fire.
So unbelievably sad. I'm happy my wife and I made it to Lahaina 8 months before the fire. It's still hard to believe this happened. I loved Lahaina, much like so many others. I pray they can rebuild that community and get tourism back within a few years!
Thank you so much for constantly doing your part to inform the public on what’s been going on… this whole situation is so beyond devastating, there are not enough words in the English language to capture the pain the fires have caused :(
Thank you , God bless you all! 👆🏼🙏♥️🌸

With all the rains, the California foothill brush is bright green. Back in late June 1984, I took a high school graduation trip to Hawaii for 7 days spending about 3 days in Lahaina and going to Moose McGuillycuddy's bar on Front Street. Back then the legal drinking age was 18. I can't remember the hotel where we stayed but that it was a two or three story building and walking distance to Front Street.
Excellent work Jesse. Thank you.
Breaks my ❤ I love Maui! My family spent many days shopping and eating in Lahaina. We went every spring break. God bless the victims and their families. We’ll be back to check on our friends 😢.
So sad for all who live there... Visited twice and loved the town, so beautiful.
Thanks for posting. I lived in Lahaina in the '70's and then again in the late '80's. Sad how it got so obliterated....
Lahaina was my and many others' Shangri la. My soul now needs to find another place to reside 😢
Mahalo. Watching this breaks my heart. I continue to pray for the community and hope that one day Lahaina will be full of life once more. May the Lord give every one strength to keep focus on rebuilding 🙏🙏🙏We will come back to visit again. Our love ❣️ From San Francisco California. Aloha
I appreciate all of your hard work to keep those of us who love Maui & historic Lahaina town updated. I have been there many times. Many lunches at Kimo’s! I am heartsick to see the aftermath of the horrific fire. I am glad however to see all the progress being made to clean up & glad so much of the work is being done by the beautiful people of Maui. The sprit of Aloha will never fade! God bless the people & the hard work being done to restore Lahaina.
Thank you, Jesse, for providing us with the current video of Lahaina town, specifically Front Street. I have enjoyed walking Front Street repeatedly in the past 8 years. We have a timeshare in West Maui and every day we are there, our first stop is Front Street. I'd sit under the Banyan tree and people-watch! It was great fun and now, I'll never be able to walk on Front Street like it was before. So sad!
Jesse, as a many time visitor of Lahaina Town, I really appreciate the updates you have posted of this great Community. I know the videos are “only 12-13 minutes” but the work you put into each recording, editing and narration takes many more hours. Mahalo for all you do. Hope to visit Maui in 2024 and the videos are inspiring for all of those who love the community.
Great job with this video! Thank you for your diligence and your love for Lahaina, Maui, and the Hawaiian Islands. Andy McKane, Maunaloa, Molokai.
I've never been to Hawaii, but I believe the more people who watch this the more awareness the locals continue to get from the rest of the country. I'm still quite worried about the local's current situations and pray that you may you all recover and be given a proper chance to rebuild
I visited Lahaina a lifetime ago. It is good to see that work began on some of the historic masonry buildings. I hope they restore/rebuild all of the old buildings. Where complete rebuilding is needed I hope that sea level rise is considered.
Very interesting. There are conspiracy theories that the fire was started to allow for a transfer of land. Cannot get a feel for it by your video, but from your narration, it sounds like the locals there expect for things to get back to the way they were before this event. Thanks for this real life view of the way things are and were. 🙏
Thank you for posting this vid. It brings me to tears.
Used to work on Front Street. This makes my heart ache like losing a person you share a lot of history with. 😢 Plant it up and please rebuild in the same style buildings. It will never be the same but I hope businesses rebuild for local jobs, and affordable housing is built for the local working population. Rebuild the senior apartments with a lot of safety features. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the video very enlightening
Was such a great town.
I appreciate the time and what must surely have been a difficult video for you to make Though almost 9 months later we still mourn the loss of our beloved Lahaina Luna. Tears flow and the pain runs deep. Mahalo nui Malama pono ka’aina o Maui!

Thank you for the update. I live on Kauai but haven't been to Maui in over a decade. I didn't realize that the fire covered such a large area.
I remember going to Lahaina, Maui over 20 years ago. We stayed on an oceanfront hotel that was fully open. I can’t even remember the name. So sad to see Lahaina in sheer despair.
Sad that the charm and uniquely old buildings will never be the same.

🌺Thank you brother for the update. I'm from Huntington beach CA and I always made my way back to Lahaina once a year. I was there in March 2023. I bought a pair of Maui Jim's on Front St. I treasure them now. My prayers go out for the people of Lahaina❤
Thanks for the update!
My daughter and I went on a cruise to Hawaii and we went to Lahaina for an excursion. We loved it. I literally cried when the fire swept through the entire area.
Thank you for the updates Jesse! I just break out in tears when I watched this one. I love Maui and Lahaina and have traveled there consistently for over 35 years. I was there in December and just devastated with the damage, or at least what I was able to see. My heart and prayers go out to the people of Maui and Lahaina, and the families and friends who lost loved ones. God bless you all. I look forward to your updates and Thank you! God bless you too man!
So sad viewing this but thank you for the video. The before video was 8/13/22 and we were there a little over a month later. Lahaina was a beautiful town and I hope and pray that in time it returns back to its once vibrant self.
Love you Maui. Have been to Lahaina probably 35 times since mid 70’s. Celebrated my 21st birthday under Banyan Tree, skinny-dipped at 7 sacred pools by Hana, and heard Kenny Loggins/Jim Messina at Pioneer Inn before they even cut their first Album. I have so many lasting memories and hope the reconstruction goes well and stays close to its historical roots and look for the time I can come walk Front Street again.
Speechless.....Thanks for getting in there as most of us can't.
Love your updates…sharing information with friends and praying for a complete recovery of everything that was lost…🙏…Blessings to Lahaina from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for the excellent report and update.
Thanks, Jesse. This drive was so helpful to me and really put things in perspective. I am grateful for your kind, thoughtful, and informative presentation. Thank you for ending this trip with a look back before the fire. I too, can't wait to stroll down Front Street again. Aloha
