850 People Still Missing in Lahaina as Biden Finally Visits a Ravaged Maui
Wall Street Journal: Nearly two weeks after a devastating fire tore through Lahaina, 850 people remain missing, the county’s mayor said ahead of a visit from President Biden. At least 114 people died in the fire in Lahaina, the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century. The fire left behind a landscape of more than 2,200 destroyed buildings and burnt-out vehicles in the historic former capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom that became a popular tourist destination. Officials have estimated that rebuilding will cost nearly $6 billion. About 85% of the disaster site had been searched as of Sunday, according to Maui County officials (Wall Street Journal).

President Biden, while visiting the fire-ravaged remains of Maui, said he knows what it is like to lose a home, recalling that 15 years ago lightning started a fire in his residence in Delaware.
“I don’t want to compare difficulties, but we have a little sense, Jill and I, of what it was like to lose a home,” Biden said. “Years ago, now, 15 years, I was in Washington doing ‘Meet the press’… Lightning struck at home on a little lake outside the home, not a lake a big pond. It hit the wire and came up underneath our home, into the…air condition ducts.
“To make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my 67 Corvette, and my cat,” the president added.
This is not the first time Biden has recalled the story.
In November 2021, he said his house burned down with his wife Jill Biden inside, before trying to correct himself.
At the time, he was speaking in New Hampshire about the bipartisan infrastructure plan when he said, “Without this bridge, as I said earlier, it’s a 10-mile detour just to get to the other side. And I know, having had a house burn down with my wife in it – she got out safely, God willing – that having a significant portion of it burn, I can tell: 10 minutes make a hell of a difference.”
He also mentioned the story in 2013, claiming a fire “destroyed a significant portion” of his New Hampshire home.
