 The latest on damage estimates: AccuWeather estimated on Wednesday that the economic costs would reach up to $57 billion. That’s more than triple the forecaster’s assessment of the wildfires in Hawaii in 2023 ($14 billion to $16 billion), but less than the 2020 West Coast wildfires ($130 billion to $150 billion.)
