HONOLULU (AP) — It’s been nearly a month since the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century killed at least 115 people in Hawaii. Lawsuits are piling up in court. Businesses across the island of Maui are fretting about the loss of tourism. Government officials from the local mayor to President Joe Biden have pledged support.

It’s unclear whether the number of dead will rise and whether it will ever be known how many perished.
