After suffering devastating wildfires in the area of Lahaina, a historic town in Maui, it has officially reopened to residents and business owners.
The move announced on Monday, comes three months after the deadly wildfires torched the island and killed over 100 people.
Areas that were reopened included the Banyan Tree Park, with the 150-year-old banyan tree burned in the August wildfires that takes up over an acre of land, according to the Associated Press.

I thought that there were issues with property lines. At any rate, it is good to see that they are starting to rebuild. Now hopefully all of the billionaires will not have access to buy the properties.

My jaundiced theory is that there were a lot of fake names on the rolls for welfare fraud.
To: DeplorablePaul
As good a theory as any, really.

Why was it closed for so long?

Will the people take it sitting down? I think they will.

Makes a whole lot more sense than 1,000+ kids burned up in the fire and "disappeared".
Makes more sense because nobody seems to be concerned.

It appears that most of the missing people weren’t missing, but were elsewhere.

The Banyan Tree suffered a lot of damage, but has widely been putting out new leaves over the core portion of the tree.

I’ll bet they paint all the roofs blue now! Only way to ward off those pesky lasers from space.

Drove through the “bypass” a couple of weeks ago, and there are places that were “blow torched”, meaning very little to nothing standing. But “downtown” was blocked off, so I didn’t get to see it.
