Hawaii is facing a series of devastating wildfires that have caused power outages, downed power lines, and traffic problems on the island of Oahu and have burned structures in the historic Lahaina Town on Maui, forcing evacuations and leading some to seek refuge in the ocean. The fires are different from those burning in the U.S. West, and heavy rainfall has caused further damage, leading to the Coast Guard rescuing those who have fled to the ocean. Officials are urging people to remain vigilant and follow evacuation orders as the full extent of the damage is still unknown.
