A new update has just come in on the devastating wildfires in Maui, and it is not good. 55 people have been confirmed dead and hundreds of others are injured, but the main fire is quite contained. Two fires are still blazing on the east side of the island, but the severe wildfire that ravaged the town of Lahaina on Maui's west coast is 80% contained. Hawaii's Governor, Josh Green, stated that the wildfires would most likely be the worst natural disaster the state has ever seen, as over 1,000 acres have been burned and over 1,700 buildings have been destroyed- including many historic sites that date back to the 1800s. At least 11,000 residents of Maui are still without power, and US President Joe Biden has signed a disaster declaration to give extra federal resources to the island to help recover from these catastrophic wildfires.
