Description
Hawaiian officials updated the death count from the Maui wildfires to 67. The update comes as residents have been allowed in to see the damage up close.
Eighty percent of the town of Lahaina has been destroyed.
That includes restaurants, retail stores and hotels along Front street, a popular destination for visitors.
"What I'm hearing is it's pure devastation right, and a lot of people think of Lahaina as a vacation town, this is a small town, a small community of people that work and live in this place. This is people's livelihoods that have been lost. It is all gone and we haven't even started to assess what's taking place in upcountry and Kula as well because there's a lot of loss of structures as well," said Nicholas Winfrey, president of Maui United Way.
