 Despite being burned and scarred, a 150-year-old banyan tree from India is still standing.

One of the biggest banyan trees in the US, transplanted from India 150 years ago, is fighting for its life as devastating flames rage through the Hawaiian island of Maui. As the death toll from one of the deadliest natural catastrophes in Hawaii's history rose to 55, firefighters were working early Friday to put out flare-ups and completely contain the flames in Lahaina and other portions of Maui.
