Hawaiian officials are prepared for a rise in the death toll from the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century.
At least 99 people were confirmed to have died as of Monday, and recovery crews with cadaver dogs continue to work their way through hundreds of homes and burned-out vehicles in Lahaina, the historic coastal town on the island of Maui.
These before and after pictures show the extent of the devastation in Lahaina.
