EXCLUSIVE: Maui wildfires death toll climbs to 480 locals claim, as Hawaii morgue workers run out of body bags and survivors are left to recover the charred remains of their loved ones
The Daily Mail ^ | 09/18/23 | RUTH STYLES IN LAHAINA, HAWAII

Posted on 08/18/2023 5:54:40 PM PDT by know.your.why

Maui authorities are dramatically underplaying the number of people known to have died in the inferno that ripped through Lahaina last week - with locals telling DailyMail.com that the actual death toll is at least 480 and that morgues had run out of body bags. The figure is quadruple that of the official number of 111 - and some of the relatives of the victims have been left to uncover the remains of their loved ones themselves due to the glacial progress of the search and recovery operation. On Tuesday, Maui mayor Richard Bissen said just 25 per cent of the stricken town had been searched, although he expected that figure to increase to 85 per cent by Saturday. But DailyMail.com photos taken on Wednesday showed hundreds of cars and vehicles still unsearched – with just a handful marked with an orange X to show they'd been looked at.

I’ve mentioned previously that the death toll is going to be in the thousands.

I think in the end game we all have learned to stop trusting government. If government says shelter in place...don’t.

Maybe those 15 minute cities are not such a good idea.

Maybe New York City has some left-over ventilators they ordered for Covid, that they can send you. Not sure about the body bags though. They need those to deal with all the victims of crime there.

That’s the end result of Democrat governance...sooner or later. Evil and incompetence is a bad combo.

Must have come through real fast. I would think many of these people would have known to burn their vegetation/grass around their places and make a fire break to attempt to save their houses.

Hmm. Almost looks like satire is no longer satire.

We went through stories like this with Katrina. The 10,000 body bags are still in storage there.

Are you ever right. Today, I assume that every communication coming from the government is a lie or contains a lie.

I cannot express how sad that makes me.

Alex Jones was claiming 1k dead before I saw any figures about the missing (1k).
