Hawaii wildfire death toll surpasses 100: Governor
The number of people known to have died in the horrific wildfire that leveled a Hawaiian town topped 100 Tuesday, the state's governor Josh Green says.
Governor Green said the scale of destruction is incredible.
More than 2,200 structures have been destroyed by the blaze, with roughly 86 percent of them being residential buildings, according to the governor.
In an interview on Monday, the governor warned that 10 to 20 more wildfire victims could be found daily as search crews continued combing through scorched ruins on the Hawaiian island of Maui.
The wildfire is now the deadliest in more than a century in modern US history, surpassing the Camp Fire that erupted on Nov. 8, 2018, in California, and killed at least 85 people.
The Lahaina fire, which has burned 2,170 acres (around 8.78 square kilometers), was 85 percent contained as of Monday, Maui County officials said in a Monday update.
