Almost entirely to the ground. Because of the wildfires, fires are continuing to burn. Helicopters continue to douse the flames. Many people, forced to flee at a moments notice, had to leave everything behind. Hawaiis Attorney General has announced an investigation into why the islands Warning Siren didnt sound at the height of the emergency. Questions are also being asked about power, and why the power should have been cut to the island. Meantime, the police chief for maui county said he expects the death toll to rise. Realise this. When we find these. Ourfamily and our friends, the remains we are finding is through a fire that melted metal. We have to do rapid dna to identify them. Every one of these 89 arejohn and jane does. And when you are asking us, and we know we have to get. And i love the way our house of representatives, how she said it, we are so eloquent, we have to go quick and we have to do it right. So when we pick up the remains and they fall apart, and so when you have 200 people running through the scene yesterday and some of you. That is what you are stepping on. I dont know how much more you want me to describe it. That is what you are stepping on. Give us a little bit of time to contain that. Please. Because we have got to go and make 89 notifications, and coming from a place that had to make 58, i understand the pain this is going to take, and we are not done with 89. So just understand what this thing is, because none of us really know the size of it yet, everybody wants a number. You want to fast and you want it right. We are going to do it right. Lets cross to maui, and speak to our correspondent helena humphrey. What is the latest there . The very grim news here that, once again, the death toll is being revised upwards, and we were told in the press conference, which took lace at our Government Building just behind me to prepare for the death toll to go up even further, and that tragic devastating message from the police chief telling anybody in the room, if you have loved ones who are missing, please get in touch to do dna swab testing, and i think that underscores the devastation here at hand. Also in that press conference, a lot of questions with regards to the sirens and to the warning system, if there were any developments or any more news that authorities could bring us about why it doesnt appear they went off. Every Single Person that we spoke to in shelters today said that they had no prior warning, and authorities didnt answer those questions, and i did speak to the government in an exclusive interview, and i asked him specifically about that.

We heard that this was a low moving fire, that it moved very quickly and that it moved very quickly and that it moved very quickly and that it burnt through a lot of grass, a lot of vegetation, and something that people have been speaking about here is that on hawaii we have already seen a lot of drought here on maui, but there is a lot of grass which is not native to maui and it is grass that burns very quickly, and that was something that the Fire Department also said, they believe this is one of the reasons the fire spread so quickly, and i spoke about this term of a Natural Disaster coupled with a hurricane, and thatis coupled with a hurricane, and that is likely what we are going to see potentially more going to see potentially more Going Forward when we see Climate Change making Natural Disasters and extreme weather events all the more difficult and, in this case, all the mall deadly.

Drought here has been a persistent problem for many months, 15 of this island has been experiencing drought, and then that coupled with these hurricane winds we have seen from Hurricane Dora which has been able to gather forth with warming Ocean Temperatures at the same time is what really has spell disaster. But it is an absolutely spectacular island. But for the most part, we have seen it is that old Historic Town of lahaina which has been bearing the brunt, a lot of history essentially which has burnt down and some fires up country as well. Helena humphrey, thank you very much indeed. The British Government is coming under renewed pressure to stop migrants crossing the sea from france in small boats after six people drowned in the channel.
