The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

Lahaina, HI

AILSA CHANG, HOST: Today marks one year since a wildfire ripped through Lahaina, killing more than a hundred people and decimating centuries of history in the town that was once the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom. A federal investigation into what caused the fire has not yet been released. But last week, plaintiffs and defendants in hundreds of lawsuits agreed to a proposed $4 billion global settlement. It remains to be seen how that money will be distributed. We recently checked back in with survivors of that fire to see how they're doing one year later and how they plan to mark this day. ERICA SOUZA: We have decided that we want to go to Lahaina, and we want to spend the day together and sit at the beach and do kind of like what we used to do. CHANG: Erica Souza (ph) and her husband lost the home they owned, where they had lived with their two children. They now have a new baby, and they have spent the past year living with friends and family. Now, they're moving to transitional housing.
