Hawaii's governor says the blaze that burned through the town of Lahaina on Maui last week has killed at least 101 people, as recovery efforts continue.

      Yeah, just looked again. Multiple articles stating “at least 1000 missing” with a NY post article saying “1300”.

      I also read yesterday that they had only looked through about 3% of the burn area.

      So expect that death toll to rise significantly ☹️

        Per the article above, they’ve searched 32% of the burn area. Still horrific, but better than only 3% searched

          Yeah. Happy to hear they’re searching much quicker and yet the casualty count hasn’t increased like I thought it would.
