Hurricane Dora Intensifies Maui Fires in Hawaii

Wildfires on Maui Island, part of Hawaii’s archipelago, have rapidly spread, exacerbated by Hurricane Dora. The emergency has been declared, with firefighters struggling due to adverse conditions, and many roads blocked by the hurricane’s aftermath. Around 1,100 acres in Maui’s Kula area have been burned, two homes destroyed, and 13,000 homes are without electricity. The region’s atmospheric conditions suggest the fires could escalate further.
