Death Toll Rising in Wake of Hawaiian Wildfires
More than 55 are dead and 1,000 missing in Hawaii’s largest natural disaster since 1960. Driven by hurricane-force winds, deadly wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui have destroyed the historic port town of Lahaina. President Joe Biden has issued a federal disaster declaration. Hawaii’s Gov. Josh Green expects the death toll to rise in the coming days and said the recovery could take years and cost billions.
