One must assume that the succeeding death tolls are “corrections” from increasing information, but I don’t know if that is true. Apparently too many unidentified bodies and the DNA tests just haven’t caught up.
What a dreadful situation for those in the states who had family on vacation in Hawaii over the holiday season. A Hawaiian vacation must have seemed like a marvelous treat for the family when you were getting out of a miserable icy cold winter. When the storm hit, everybody took shelter in buildings or spaces that seemed safe, and some were just not safe spaces. People who were sheltered and safe were not sure when or if the storm was really over and when or if it would be safe to emerge, All completely understandable, but of course the result was massive confusion about what to do where to go and where to shelter.
People out on the beach were unlikely to have their billfolds with them to identify themselves if they had gone to sit on the beach just to enjoy the sunshine and warm water. Well, I don’t know, I have never been to Hawaii, and never had any urge to visit. I’m not a sit on a sandy beach and get a suntan person, but for many that is an ultimate vacation. There’s a reason why Florida, South Carolina, Georgia , Texas and Arizona have big tourist seasons in the winter. I’m admittedly a mountain lakes and trout person.
