It's almost certain that ~850 missing + 114 confirmed deceased in #Lahaina will be the second most fatal #wildfire in the US, after only the #Peshtigo fire in 1871, where 1152 perished. #Maui #disaster

@davidreid The worst fire ever in the US was the #Peshtigo fire in Wisconsin (1871), a state not normally associated with wildfire. Everything but the stone barns & houses burned down.

Via the power of suggestion, I just created and consumed the most wonderful pancakes (using oat milk) topped with sliced banana and Wagner's Pure Maple Syrup.
Damn yummy. Thanks guys.
Sorry, no photo. 😋
