Henry Lau sent in an autobiographical account of the December 5, 2007 storm on Maui.

He watched as his house collapsed under the sliding mud and rushing waters, but not before rescuing his wife to safety. The following day, The Maui News ran a photo of the incident.

At the time of publication, we were unable to contact Mr. Lau for permission to reprint his story. If you see him, please let him know that we would like to publish it in our next issue.

Aloha!
