Two days after devastating fires torched west Maui last week, UFC veteran Kendall Grove got a first-hand look at the destruction of Lahaina, the historic and popular tourist town where his in-laws’ home was among some 2,700 structures that burned down.
“It’s just weird to see. It looks like an apocalyptic city that just ruined,” Grove, a native of Maui, told MMA Junkie Radio. “You could see where there was bodies on the road that they cleared. You see cars in the middle of the road (that tried) to escape and their cars broke down – God knows what happened to them. I just pray they didn’t suffer.”
As of Monday, officials said at least 99 people were confirmed dead after 25 percent of the search area was covered. The number of deaths will increase significantly, according to Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, who said children are among hundreds still missing.
