Hawaii Governor Declares Emergency for Maui Wildfires on Friday.
The South Maui brush fire that began Thursday burned 12,000 acres by Friday evening. The fire in South Maui that began Thursday has scorched at least 9,000 acres. An out of control wildfire that began along a major Central Maui highway burned Thursday.

Haven't seen her since late June...
Uh oh! Hope all is well!
Just did some research with google map. It was right by her old home in Kihei. But she just bought a new house in Wailea which is like 10 mins drive away. So I am very concern. After all, the island isn't that big.
After posting several times a day thru March/April it seems
kind of odd that she has almost quit. I miss her positive vibe.
That is a really bad fire.... I sure hope she is safe...I do miss her posts. I have been watching for a couple of weeks and was getting ready to PM her...Will let you know if I hear anything. Cheers, RickO
@TurboSnail Pic not showing, here’s another try:
Hope she is o.k.
No fire related problems in Wailea. It's multiple brush fires.
It is the summer fishing season.
This was the evening sky that night. Reminded me of some of the toned coins posted
I hope she is okay.
I've been wondering how she's doing as well

Yea I hope all is well and she is just on hiatus from us.

Was just thinking about her today. I think I may have her email somewhere, I'll look for it.
Well, I sure miss her. Her positive attitude was appreciated.
She's likely busy with LIFE beyond the old farts forums! But do miss her good vibes --
Fire seems to be affecting the historically wet areas, Floods affecting the drier areas. Some odd weather patterns the last couple of years. I sure hope Paradise and others are safe down there.
No Carp @Batman23 ! You got flames about you as well -- how's that smoke up there -- FAI right? We got it from both ends here in the Valley.
I'm in the southeast so its not as bad. We have a lightning strike that has been smoldering for a while but I hope the recent rain put it out. The smoke drifting in from Canada makes for some pretty sunsets but nothing like what you guys are dealing with up there!
Here are some aerial views of smoke from fires in my area that my brother took from his plane just before the 4th of July.
And this is his plane where it ended up on the return flight after the 4th:
(Fortunately my sister-in-law was able to get the door open before the plane sank and water pressure would have made it impossible for them to open it and escape. All including the adults and my nephews were able to swim to shore. The plane was at least 300 pounds under its load limit so that was not a factor. Shifting winds, downdraft and/or engine performance could have been contributing causes for not being able to clear the trees on takeoff.)
Whoa! Close call with that plane. Glad everyone was ok.

It's often better to ditch than try the "impossible turn" and cartwheel in.
Not an easy decision for the pilot in many cases.
Glad everyone is OK.
The kids will have a exciting story to tell at school.

Maybe this will bring her out .......

...and they never post while in the air.
My hopes and prays are with her.
@northcoin....Glad to hear everyone made it out safely.....Cheers, RickO
If Paradisefound is the obverse, then Paradiselost would be the reverse........
"Paradise Lost is about Adam and Eve--how they came to be created and how they came to lose their place in the Garden of Eden, also called Paradise. It's the same story you find in the first pages of Genesis, expanded by Milton into a very long, detailed, narrative poem."
Paradise seems to be sooooo temporary............but without her we have lost our sunshine. Hope we find her soon.
OINK
Hope she's okay but it is summer. Most likely busy with stuff other than coins and coin talk.

Release the hounds, I tell you.
Ask Wilson if he's seen her.
Where's Tom Seleck when you need him?

Hope your fine , just passing the time, with your sunshine a glass of wine.
Dont forget the little umbrella.
Probably taking a vacation to another paradise country/island.
Since there are many pet lovers on this forum, I can add that the two dogs made it out safely as well.
Just bumping this thread........we do not want to lose Paradise.

I emailed her when this thread came out, and have not heard back
Sure hope she is ok
Didn't she disappear last summer to "west" destinations? YAHOO to be young again and footloose. Good thoughts to her and likely good times!

Agree and I also miss her but we have to be careful that we don't scare her away with too much attention. We don't want her to have to take out a restraining order against us for excessive stalking.
She knows where we are and will be back when she is ready.

I also messaged her when the fires started... no reply.. but I imagine she is quite busy....Cheers, RickO
