As of this morning, 93 people have died, making it the deadliest US wildfire in over 100 years – and officials say the death toll is likely to rise as they get into the areas that have suffered the worst damage. Adding another dark page to the record books, Hawaii Governor Josh Green says the fires will “certainly be the worst natural disaster Hawaii has ever faced”. More than 2,000 buildings have been lost, including in the razed town of Lahaina, where sniffer dogs have been brought in to help locate bodies. US officials estimated the cost of Lahania’s rebuild at US$5.5 billion (A$8.46 billion). With Maui’s fires now largely under control, locals are asking questions about why none of the island’s 80 outdoor alarms were activated. The search for bodies is expected to last several days.
