The record — long form

The fire is the '23 — the August 8 that's the day, the 102 that's the dead. The power lines are the cause — the 're-energization' that's the sparks, the 'morning phase' that's the missed. The 'Twilight Zone' is the description — the 'remains fall apart' that's the identification, the cars that were the trapped.

The banyan is the symbol — the charred that's the standing, the 'hope' that's the sign. The 'oldest' is the town — the 'capital' that's the Kamehameha, the '1819' that's the mission. The fire is the deadliest — the 'century' that's the US record, the 'Paradise' that's the surpassed.

The file keeps the Lahaina fire: the '23 August 8, the 102 dead, the power lines, and the banyan.
