she had seen satellite images showing the home where her father had lived for 46 years and where she grew up had been destroyed by theMs Probst, 28, who was safe on the other side of the island when the fires erupted, said she could not get through to her parents “all day”.
She said: “I was getting snippets of ‘this building is gone, the gas station blew up, people are saying this is gone’… I wasn’t able to confirm anything for a long time and I really didn’t want to believe that the things I was hearing were true.”The death toll from the wildfires in Maui has hit 55, a figure which is expected to rise.
Ms Probst, whose parents are now with her after being able to evacuate and get in touch, said she feared for her relatives and others in the north of Maui who were told to stay put because they “were not in the immediate line of the fire”. She said she saw worrying social media posts of people “now isolated” with only outward traffic reportedly being allowed. While some had managed to get into the area to deliver aid, and residents “should be physically safe”, Ms Probst said “they are running out of supplies, they need food and water and gas and medication”.
