A local brewery is serving up more than just beer. WCCO's Kirsten Mitchell has the story.
In the wake of the deadly Maui fires, CBS News national investigative correspondent Stephen Stock asks if decision-makers should always err on the side of caution.
The revised number of people missing was a startling drop from the list released last week in which 385 people were still listed as missing.
Dry conditions and strong wind fueled wildfires on the Big Island and Maui, where blazes spread in Lahaina as well as inland.
Within a day of the list's release, more than 100 of those on the list or their relatives came forward to say they're safe, the FBI said Friday.
The president and first lady saw the destruction close up and met with responders in Lahaina amid criticism of the White House response to the catastrophic blaze.
At least 115 people were confirmed dead, Maui County said Monday.
Several hundred federal search and rescue personnel are using dozens of cadaver dogs to comb the Lahaina burn area for human remains.
When asked Wednesday by reporters if he regretted not activating warning sirens when the wildfires broke out Aug. 8, Herman Andaya responded, "I do not."
Gov. Josh Green said the state is working toward a moratorium on real estate sales "to make sure that no one is victimized."
"To our 'ohana on Maui, we see you and love you," the company wrote.
"The thing about it is though, thoughts and prayers in a moment like this are not enough," the former president, who grew up in Honolulu, said.
The famous tree is "still breathing" – even as ash and rubble cover the world around it.
A dangerous mix of conditions appear to have combined to make the wildfires that blazed a path of destruction in Hawaii particularly damaging.
Residents say Hawaii's famous warning sirens never went off. The death toll has climbed steadily as the search continues.
A Minnesota native who now lives in Maui is opening her home to fire victims.
At least 2,200 structures were estimated to have been damaged or destroyed in the wildfires, according to preliminary numbers.
Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said Saturday that operations would focus on "the loss of life."
Many former Minnesotans call Maui home, and volunteers from the Minnesota and Dakotas Red Cross are already on the ground.
