@cbsnews: The news is full of heartbreaking soundbites from people who escaped the blaze in Hawaii. But sometimes short soundbites don't do a situation justice. This is one woman's full unedited account of her harrowing experience trying to escape and reunite with her family, amidst a dangerous lack of information. Kawena Kahula, a hotel manager in #Hawaii, recounts the terrifying misinformation that had her unknowingly driving straight into danger, after a deadly wildfire erupted in #Maui. She tells CBS News’ Jonathan Vigliotti, "It was a kind of fear and panic that I have never experienced before in my life." #news #lahaina #wildfires

It’s so sad, no alerts, no warnings, no sirens. Alerts on phones should have been sent out.
