3. SOUNDBITE (English) Rick Crew, traveler:
"Like I said, we were up on one of the higher levels and one of the windows on our suite, we could watch and see the fire as it was growing at night. It was just, you know, so bright from the flames and everything. And when we came on the chartered bus to come here, they took us right through Lahaina, we were able to see up close to firsthand the devastation and how everything we saw the day before was so lush and beautiful. It's just completely gone now. It's just everything's burned."

"To just view what's happened in Lahaina was really, really so sad. Our hearts definitely go out to all those who lost everything their livelihoods, their family, their homes. Yeah. We had just driven through two days earlier and it was beautiful and bustling. And then coming back on the way back on scene, just absolutely devastation. And it was really heartbreaking."
