JUST IN: President Biden jokes about how hot the ground is in Maui after a fire ripped through, killing hundreds.
“You guys catch the boots out here? That’s a hot ground, man,” he joked.
Despite media reports of roughly 100 deaths from the fires, locals estimate that at least 480 people were killed.
“I know there are at least 480 dead here in Maui and I don’t understand why they’re [the authorities] not saying that,” said one local.
850 people are still missing.
