Luquin's on fire?

[Lin W]

Brief message on facebook, now nothing. Anybody know what's happening?

I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.

Luquins, Akebono and probably the kava bar as well.

Just saw some footage of it on the news. The flames were climbing about 15 ft above the roof. It looks like a total loss.

There were many apartments above Luquins, used to be a lot of Sal's family living in them. Hoping everyone is ok.

Just livin the dream

We are mourning this morning.

A slice of Pahoa history up in smoke. Blessings to all affected by this, and the many employees.

I'm kinda shocked. I live right nearby... did'nt hear a thing. Gonna walk up there now and check the situation out.

It burned alright. Road closed with emergency vehicles. I could see the front wall of the Akebono standing. Upper windows blown out and smoke damage. The roof is gone. The fire extended to the upper rooms above Luquin's. Didn't get a side view. The area is yellow taped.

Bummer.
