In the wake of extreme wildfire spread exacerbated by hurricane force winds and drought conditions, Hawaii’s lieutenant governor has issued an emergency proclamation for the state and activated the National Guard. Widespread evacuations are taking place as hundreds of families are displaced by the blazes. Towns like Lahaina have been obliterated by the spread and hospitals are at capacity with burn victims and patients suffering smoke inhalation, necessitating offset to Maui and Honolulu to assist many of the afflicted. The residual winds of Hurricane Dora, passing 500 miles south of the island chain, is reported to be a major contributor to the spread, with 60mph gusts fanning the flames, knocking out power, and hampering airborne recovery efforts.
