Hawaii Suffering From Apocalyptic Wildfires - At Least 36 People DEAD

Hawaii Wildfires Burn Historic Town of Lahaina to The Ground

BBC 10 AUG 2023

Raging wildfires fanned by hurricane winds have devastated the historic town of Lahaina on Hawaii's island of Maui.

Brian Schatz, a US senator from the state, said on social media that Lahaina is "almost totally burnt to the ground".

At least six people were killed in Maui County, officials said on Wednesday.

Maui's hospital system has been overwhelmed with burn patients and people suffering from smoke inhalation.

"Firefighters are still trying to get the fires under control, and our first responders are in search and rescue mode," Mr Schatz said.

There were reports early on Wednesday that some people jumped into the ocean to escape the fast-moving flames. The US Coast Guard said it rescued at least a dozen people from the water.

Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen Jr said in a news conference that many homes and business structures were completely destroyed.

One resident in the town of some 12,000 people told local media that every boat in the town harbour was burning.

"It looks like something out of a movie, a war movie," Chrissy Lovitt told Hawaii News Now.

Officials said it is still difficult to determine the true extent of the damage on Maui, and have warned the death toll may rise. Around 2,100 people have been displaced.

Some relatives of people living in Lahaina said they are worried about family members who are missing.

"I still don't know where my little brother is," Tiare Lawrence told Hawaii News Now. "I don't know where my stepdad is."

"Everyone I know in Lahaina, their homes have burned down," Ms Lawrence said.

Almost 13,000 people were without power on Maui, according to tracking website PowerOutage.us.

Thousands were without cell phone service due to the fires, and 911 services in West Maui were down on Wednesday.

Officials said that three large fires remain active and out of control on Maui.

Several blazes are also burning on the Big Island, also known as Hawaii island, a neighbouring island to Maui.

Wildfires fanned by the winds of a distant hurricane devastated Hawaii, U.S. August 9, 2023.

The National Weather Service said the flames were fanned by Hurricane Dora, which passed Hawaii at a distance but brought with it gusts of above 60 mph (97km/h), coupled with low humidity levels.

President Joe Biden said in a statement that the federal government has sent assistance to Hawaii as it battles the flames and continues with rescue efforts.

He added that the Department of Transportation is working to evacuate tourists from Maui. About 4,000 visitors are trying to leave the island, said state transportation official Ed Sniffen.

The County of Maui has asked visitors to stay away from Lahaina, as roads into the town are closed except for emergency vehicles.

"This is not a safe place to be," said Hawaii's Lieutenant Governor Sylvia Luke.

"Certain parts of Maui, we have shelters that are overrun," Ms Luke added. "We have resources that are being taxed."

Lahaina is a historic town on the western tip of Maui. Its center dates back to the 1700s and is on the US National Register of Historic Places.

Hawaii: Death Toll Reaches 67 in Maui Wildfires With Hundreds Still Missing -NO WARNING -WHY?

Hawaii Fires Deadliest Natural Disaster in State History

Inferno Erupted, Fueled by Winds From Hurricane Dora, Exacerbated by Dry Vegetation From Ongoing Drought

BBC 12 AUG 2023

The Hawaii wildfires have reached a grim milestone as the death toll rose to 67, making it the deadliest natural disaster in the state's history. Warnings over Maui fires came late, evacuees say

Hundreds more have been reported missing and the toll may still rise.

It comes as some Lahaina residents are being allowed to briefly return home on Friday to take stock of the damage to their fire-ravaged town.

They returned amid warnings they would be greeted by "destruction like they've not ever seen in their lives".

State officials reopened Lahaina to people with proof of residency on Friday for the first time since flames swept rapidly through early this week, razing much of the historic town.

People who had been evacuated with only the clothes on their backs told the BBC they were concerned it may be hard to prove their residency.

A curfew will operate daily from 22:00 to 06:00 local time, and some of the hardest hit parts of the town remain restricted to search and rescue personnel.

West Maui, where Lahaina is located, is still without power and water. Search crews are still in the area looking for wildfire victims.

That includes in the water. The Coast Guard said it had pulled 17 people alive from the water near the town's harbour so far. All were reported to be in a stable condition.

But Gabe Lucy, who owns a tour operator on Maui, told the BBC that he was hearing of horrific scenes.

"People were jumping in the water and I think for a lot of them the fire wrapped around so quick that the only way to escape was go down to the water's edge," said Mr Lucy, whose captains were called in to help rescue people.

He added that they were "picking up four-year-olds and putting them surfboards and pulling them out" and that he had heard reports of "bodies on the rocks"

Hawaii Wildfires Deadliest in The US in Over 100 Years

Maui Fire: 93 Killed as Governor Warns of Significant Death Toll Rise

Police WARN - Give Us Time & STOP Walking Over The DEAD To Hundreds Trying to Return to Their Homes

BBC 14 AUG 2023

Residents say no warnings issued

The Governor of Hawaii has warned the number of people who have died in the wildfires will rise, making this the deadliest fire in the US for more than a hundred years.

Sniffer dogs are deployed to locate bodies in the wreckage but so far have only covered three percent of the search area - and tension is mounting among local residents who are demanding to know why enough wasn't done to sound the alarm so more people could get out in time.

Ninety-three people have been confirmed killed in the Maui fire that razed the historic town of Lahaina, marking the most deadly US fire in a century.

The death toll could rise "significantly", Hawaii Governor Josh Green warned on Saturday, as forensic work continues to identify the victims.

Hundreds remain unaccounted for while hundreds of others fill shelters across Maui after fleeing the flames.

"It's an impossible day," Mr Green said.

The fire will "certainly be the worst natural disaster that Hawaii ever faced", he said.

"We can only wait and support those who are living. Our focus now is to reunite people when we can and get them housing and get them health care, and then turn to rebuilding."

Meanwhile, it remains unclear if early warning systems were used or if they malfunctioned, with many people telling the BBC they were not forewarned about the fire.

The state's attorney general is conducting a "comprehensive review" into how the authorities responded.

Representative Jill Tokuda of Hawaii's 2nd congressional district told the BBC World Service's Newshour programme on Sunday that "serious questions" needed to be addressed.

"There's every justification for everyone to feel angry in this particular situation, and we all want answers," Ms Tokuda said.

She also described her visit to Lahaina over the weekend as "heart-breaking".

"We have so many memories there, so many of our families and friends lost everything, [or are] still looking for loved ones."

While the wildfires are now largely under control, efforts to fully extinguish them are continuing in parts of the island, including around Lahaina, which has been devastated.

Authorities have focused efforts on combing through what is left of the coastal area of the island, using sniffer dogs trained to detect bodies to look for signs of corpses under the rubble.

So far, they have covered only 3% of the search area, said a visibly emotional Maui Police Chief John Pelletier.

"None of us really understand the size of this yet," he said.

Jeremy Greenberg, a senior official at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has told the BBC that extra support being sent included urban search and rescue, and fire suppression teams.

"The absolute number one priority is survivor safety," he said.

Mr Greenberg added that while close to 1,000 people are still yet to be contacted, some of these may be safe but out of reach for a number of reasons.

In the emergency shelter at Maui's War Memorial Complex on Saturday, hundreds of evacuees continued to gather, receiving food, toiletries and medical aid from a still-growing number of volunteers.

Large whiteboards noted the most pressing needs - batteries, water, and generators - and an all-caps note that no more clothing was needed.

Keapo Bissen, a member of the War Memorial shelter team, said the list of the missing was fluctuating hour to hour as more people reported absent loved ones, and others were found.

"We've had a lot of great reunions happen in this parking lot," she said. "That's really been the bright side in all of this."
