Flames came dangerously close to his home, scorching nearly every building on his street. As of this hour hundreds are presumed missing bodies being pulled from the ocean after people had no choice but to jump in to escape the flames. Thousands are scrambling for safety. Max gordon is on the ground in maui. Max. You got it there. Its an Island Paradise that was turned into a hellscape the field behind Me Blackenned by the fire, the scent of smoke heavy in the air but good news this morning We Saw Rain Roll through. Much neededed needed for this scorched island. My gosh. Look at the harbor. Oh my gosh. Long time residents here shock at what they saw, people here in maui have dealt with so much loss because of these fires at least 36 people dead, its the deadliest u. S. Fire since the 2018 campfire. Officials here say the conditions have been dry and winds from passing Hurricane Dora fanned fires and caused them to spread quickly gusts up to 85 Miles Per Hour reported, grounding firefighting aircraft. Communities on maui decimated block after block burned to the ground. In some cases people had to jump into the ocean to escape the flames. Some are left with nothing. At least 11,000 people have been evacuated from the island of maui via air. Right now Hawaiian Airlines is offering 19 tickets to get people to other islands and today around 1500 people are expected to leave the island via air. Thank you. Now to rick, fox weather center. Yes just want to show you the setup of what caused. This we talked about Hurricane Dora. Thats south 700 miles away. High pressure to the north. Its those two in conjunction that funneled all the winds through. Youll notice where they are now moving past hawaii so the winds calming down. Few before and after pictures. You see almost all of lahaina burned. This is the outlet of maui. Now to banyan court, wins up to 80 Miles Per Hour and right there in the Larger Population area. Right now, winds have calmed down but around 2025 Miles Per Hour, across the area that certainly is improvement. One thing i want to show you we as of yesterday 6 percent of the entire state of hawaii was in drought. Now the number has gone up to 14 percent and new monitor out but the worst is on mauai severe drought and the precipitation its the one island here below average, so maybe a little bit of rain coming in over the next few days but they have a deficit in the rain and thats the problem. Max, youre seeing something new. We have a Chinook Helicopter here carrying a bucket of water. This is one of the important Tools Firefighters use to dowse the flames and one of the reasons its made difficult by high wind. You can see it circling around. Not sure where this helicopter has been making this bucket drop but this is the first time we have seen the chinook in action. The National Guard has been the Ground Aiding in the Search And Rescue efforts and as you can see theyre helping out with the firefighting efforts. Jesse. Dana perino has a question. I was wondering given what we know, this happened quickly yesterday and looked like it was far enough away people could take an assessment and decide whether to leave but do you think there could have been more warning the government could have provided to save their property or lives . Yeah, so we had a combination of a lot of different environmental factors. We had dry conditions on the ground. This part of maui in a drought high winds low relative humidity creating a firestorm that moved very quickly. You know, im not necessarily going to second guess whether or not there should have been Evacuation Orders but when a fire starts moving with 80 mileanhour winds, oftentimes theres not much firefighters are able to do to stop the flames and we saw the fire move into the town and go from building to building. When a fire goes through and this is a historic area its like a chain reaction. We saw buildings going down and we saw the town essentially decimated. Max thanks for the reporting. Are there people stranded in places where they want to evacuate . We saw reports of that. Im hoping thats wrong. You know, i havent necessarily heard of anybody stranded. I know that evacuations are going. County of maui busing people to the airport trying to get as and out as possible but Search And Rescue operations are ongoing. One thing making the a lot more difficult is that communications are spotty on the west side. Cell towers down, phone lines down, power out so some people might not be able to contact their loved ones and death toll could rise. Judge. People jumping in ocean because they felt they couldnt having been in a national or i mean a natural emergency, once the Search And Rescue is over they have to feel confident that someone is going to save them not emotionally from the trauma but emotional financially to allow them to build again the army corps of engineers. What is the plan Going Forward once the Search And Rescue is over . Will the people be allowed to come in and assist the people from hawaii . Yes, a major disaster declaration is going to unlock federal funds. We are going to have to wait and see. I think right now we are in the Assessment Phase seeing whats broken finding the people who are missing and then we are going to get to next steps but what is clear is going to take a long time for folks to recover. Weve got more than 200 structures burned down in lahaina. A lot of things cant be replaced. Greg. The variables of a dry summer and strong winds created this devastation, but how did it start . Usually these things are man caused. There could have been volcanic. Do they have any idea . We dont know what caused these fires also this is not necessarily a volcanic island. It is part after volcanic chain but there arent active volcanoes so we have to wait for officials how it started. Lets take it over to rick, last words. The active volcano is on the big island so not there in maui but with winds this high very easily knocked power lines down and spark the vegetation. Way too early to figure out what it is but because there were a few fires winds knocking down power lines would be suspect. Thank you rick and max. Coming up on the five. Liberal leaders slamming joe biden over the border crisis. Frustrated by skin tags . Dr. Scholls has the breakthrough youve been waiting for.

Better late than never democrats quickly catch than on to the fact joe biden has messed up the border and the city runs out of room to house migrants in the massachussetts democrat governor is out right declaring one over her state surge. Immigration system in this nation is broken. New york city has been left to pick up the pieces. New yorkers are going to be left with a 12 billion bill. This is a national issue. It demands a national response. Today i am declaring a State Of Emergency in massachussetts. Critically, i am delivering an urgent and formal appeal to the federal government for intervention and action. And you know joe biden is screwed when the liberal media and the squad are calling out his border failures. We need leadership from President Biden, period. Democrats are looking bad right now in New York State and thats unacceptable when we have to win at least four congressional seats to take back the house. So, hopefully the president is listening. You look at the skeengs out of new york out of massachussetts its a State Of Emergency. Theres nothing positive about this for anybody involved here and this is just a situation that looks to be completely out of control. Showi a local channel in new jersey. Yeah its called Happy Days With Joe very strange couple. I point out the process of matching liberal consequences to liberal fantasies and this has achieved probably more than anything republicans have ever done Busing Migrants. Now they have to face their own problems. Its brilliant. Its harrowing and its an emergency. One of the motivators for the governor to start Busing Migrants because the white house condemned anyone on the board are for taking action any State Government for taking action at the border and the white house saying this is a federal government responsibility. No can iing. Nobody cared that local show of happy joe didnt care about anybody in the border state. No. So they start busing the migrants and that was racist and bigoted. Now you have mayors major cities having to say we need a State Of Emergency but what are they doing . Theyre doing something that is the going to backfire. They might get binds attention but theyre asking for more resources and access for migrants to get jobs. Does that discourage any migrant from coming across . No because you have more money and opportunities for jobs sooner. Thats not going to stop the problem. I do say those governors for example Governor Abbott was called every name in the book but he stick thipt and now you have governor healey saying this is a National Problem. For once we agree. Judge it is frustrating when you hear these leaders saying its a National Problem because you spend so many years prenning behind the virtue of Sanctuary Cities and mocking State Leaders and you could have watched the five and figured this out three years ago. Thats right. Its like what i said yesterday, you know. They condemn the movement of the migrants of the southern states. They call it a political stunt. They said it was inhumane. They said it was racist and they came out to welcome them and said like mayor adams, who are a sanctuary city. Lets meet you at the bus and shake your hands and get you into hotels and 50 percent of hotels are filled with migrants. Then all of a sudden theres too many they say gee maybe we got it wrong but if you listen to jamaal brown its not they got it wrong because the law said they cant come n. Its because we are democrats and we are going to look bad. And lose. And they know that and theres another example the democrats want to reinvent the wheel cancel everything that donald trump did, they didnt want to remain in mexico. They didnt want to do anything and now they have the consequences and now we have got schools starting in a couple weeks. Do you know how many schools have to hire teachers who speak ten languages they dont know in order to start . No one is talking about that. Its a nightmare. You know i thought harold your idea at the break was absolutely brilliant when you said all these new workers, why not have them build the wall . I thought that was just amazing. You solve two problems. They got jobs. They build the wall. You should be our border czar. I dont remember half the things i say. Biden had been on the defensive in immigration on the border since he took office. If i were advising him i would tell him this is time to build a Bipartisan Group of senators and congressman bring them to the white house, sit them around the table let the press in and say lets hammer out 45 things we can agree on. Build a wall. 2, increase Border Patrol and agents. 3 lets stop busing people around the country because there is not working it was a gimmick at the beginning but i agree with everyone around the table we are seeing the kind of pressure that it puts on doesnt matter if youre democrat or republican as mayor governor these are real issues these are real people and these issues cost real money and create great pressure. Why stop it . If its working. Its working as a stunt. You cant criticize congressman bowman. He said he wanted to do it for the politics. We need to fix it. 3 lets develop a real strategy to invest in the hemisphere. Vicepresident harris responsibility assigned to i think its never too late to step up and provide this kind of leadership. 3,we have to develop a strategy to go after the cartels, President Biden and President Trump. President trump had Creative Ideas how to go after cartels. We should think more creatively how to do this and finally should not be lost on anyone, we need not on Immigration Policy to help the border but would have a Worker Shortage Challenge in the country. Im saying let a select group of people in but it wont happen unless theres leadership at the top. Boring, but thats what i think. Im getting ribbed later. We were talking about ribs. Jesse, i think there should be a new mesherment of time called the fiber the time between us pointing out a serious problem and everybody else from happy joe coming to the same conclusion, i call that a fiver. I call it a fiver too. Lets go with that. This adams guy pathetic. Tiptoeing around calling joe biden out. Hes already got kicked off the reelection committee. Go for it. Right. Say, joe biden, you, yeah, im talking to you, get down here and help us out. Get control of the border. Give us the money and figure it out. This is kill us here. Why doesnt he do that . Why is he so scared of joe biden . Bowman is not scared of him. Bowman name checked him. I dont care if he does it for political reasons as long as he does something. Get joe bidens tension. Scarborough joe biden watches that show every morning, only thing he watches on tv so scarborough knows hes talking to the president and trying to warn the president this is a political problem and they just basically admitted the democrats arent going to do anything about a problem until it becomes a political problem so the republicans to have take the problems the democrats are making and make them a political problem for the democrats. Republicans arent smart enough to figure out, i mean finally abbott and desantis figured it out but if the National Party can figure out how to make Fentanyl A Problem for the democrats, inflation, you got to put the heat on the democrats because theyre allpolitics. They dont care about the people. They care about their own power. Yeah. All right.
