Trouble in paradise. Massive wildfires engulfing the Hawaiian Island of maui. The intense effort to fight the inferno. Ready to launch. Preparations are underway for the first ever motherdaughter duo destined for the edge of space. And you will never guess what the mayor of tampa just brought in. And well investigate the viral challenge taking over tiktok. For signs you need to be on the lookout. It is dangerous. An important one, especially for parents. Well begin with breaking news. The state of emergency has been declared in hawaii as wildfires burn in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Flames and thick smoke are spreading across the island of maui. The coast guard said it rescued people who jumped into the water to escape the fires. A maui county spokesperson is calling it unprecedented. An Historic Town popular with tourists on the west side of the island of maui is badly damaged. Winds from a hurricane hundreds of miles south of hawaii are fueling these flames. Nbc news correspondent mora barrett is there. What do we know about what is causing and it what are local officials saying about evacuations, damage across the island . Reporter yeah, kate, the entire Emergency Response team as well as the National Guard has been activated in order to try to combat these fires. There are three major ones on the island of maui right now. And what it appears to be is that they could have started as small brush fires. The island is very dry right now. Theyve been experiencing some extensive heat this summer. That hurricane you mentioned is what they think is really fanning the flames causing it to grow to an estimated 1,000 acres or more. It has been encroaching in residential spaces, tourist locations, so there has been active evacuation orders across the state. A red flag warning in play. Because of that, that means that rescue efforts and firefighting efforts are limited because they cant fly the helicopters that can drop the water and firefighters on the ground are also facing limitations, trying to get around. We just got a statement updating from the governor commending the people working as hard as they can saying heroic efforts by First Responders have prevented many casualties from during but some loss of life is expected. He said that he anticipates asking for a president ial disaster declaration in the next day as they get more details coming to life. Right now, a lot of communication is limit on the island which mean we dont have a clear picture of damages or injuries or the loss of life that he mentioned. Yeah. These images are striking. When most of us hear emergency in hawaii, were not thinking about wildfires. Were thinking about volcanos erupting. How unusual is it to see wildfires burning on the island . Its incredibly unusual. You mentioned the acting governor said that this is absolutely unprecedented. Theyre used to seeing flooding. Theyre used to seeing intense rain storms and hurricanes. But something of this caliber, and having tackled three major fires on one island is a challenge for the resources that they have. And for what theyve tackled before. Theyre trying and asking for all the resources possible. This is under a red flag warning, at least through the Early Morning hours on wednesday. All right. Thank you. Two of the three people facing charges in a violent brawl on a pier in montgomery, alabama, have yet to turn themselves in. The citys police chief announced Assault Charges against all three men on tuesday saying they expect to bring more charges, too. Youve probably seen the viral video on your screen. Authorities say it all starts with case compute between a group of private voters and a river boat cocaptain who is black over a parking spot at a dock. Lindsey joins us now. What do we know about the men who were charged here . What else are police saying . Reporter were looking at four charges against three alleged aggressors. One is in custody. Richard roberts is facing two charges for misdemeanor assault. There are two others, allen todd and zachary shipman. Turned the in yet and the mayor is hoping they will do so by the end of the day. More charges could be possible as police investigate, but we do know that witnesses on the boat that was trying to dock tell nbc news, these pontoon owners are being asked for some 45 minutes over the p. A. System to have ma. They say this was entirely preventible and avoidable. It appears also that this brawl was divided among racial lines. We know the mayor who has said that there are allegations that racial slurs were being used. They say theyre investigating. Right now, they say the evidence that they have doesnt meet fbi standards for a hate crime. Heres what else he told msnbc today. It is certainly disappointing from everyones view to see someone who is just doing their job, get attacked for doing their job. And i think the next few days of the investigation will tell us there was more to it than what we just saw in the video. The mayor said it appears it was an isolated incident and a group of bad actors not from the area. The video is hard to wash across the board. The Police Actually identified the cocaptain, the black man who was attacked. What do we know about him . His name is damian pickett. Witnesses said they saw him clearly visibly shaken up after this. They said otherwise he did appear okay. Police are asking anyone with information to please come forward. Thank you. Voters in the red leaning state of ohio have soundly rejected a ballot measure that would have directly diluted their political power. This issue attracted National Attention as well as millions of dollars in out of state funding on both sides, and thats because it was seen to have direct impact on abortion rights. Tuesdays republican sponsored measure aimed to raise the threshold needed to amend the ohio constitution to 60 of the vote. That was rejected, meaning the rules stay the same. Only a little more than 50 is needed to change the constitution. Now all eyes are on the next election ballot. And thats in november. Ohioans will decide if abortion rights should be enshrined in the state constitution using the rules i just described. The capitol hill correspondent, ally vitali joins us from columbus, ohio. Connect all these dots for us. Basically, what does yesterdays vote mean for this abortion rights vote happening in november . Reporter well, look, as a former graphics producer, i love the graphic that you just had up. It is why we had the Ballot Initiative as a proxy ballot. Nothing said explicitly about abortion. If you look at the polling around the abortion measure set to come up in november, polling for that was showing that there was at least majority approval for that kind of protection for abortion access. And thats when legislators on the republican side came in and said they wanted to change the threshold of what it would take to put an amendment in the constitution. Wanting to raise it from a 50 simple majority to a 60 threshold. Yesterday voters squarely said they did not want that. It was a stunning amount of turnout. This is a dog days of summer, august election, in an offyear. In theory, voters should be tuned out and that was one of the concerns i heard from democrats on the ground. In the end though, we watched more than 3 million ballots be cast by ohioans as they made clear in their minds, these issues were connected and now theyll look to november without those rules changing form amendment initiative. So given what you just that, all the turnout in august, what does that say for other states thinking about taking up an abortion rights resolution . Reporter look, nothing happens in a vacuum. And ohio is one of a string of states that weve seen in the aftermath after the Supreme Court overturning the roe v. Wade press Death Penalty had previously provided the bedrock for abortion care nationally. As weve seen this go to the states, first last year we saw it in kansas. A red state that ended up siding electorally with abortion advocates. Weve seen in it wisconsin in terms of adding pro abortion judges to the Supreme Court. Now were seeing it again in ohio in the aftermath of the 2022 midterms. A red state going to the side of reproductive access. Thank you. There is a new billionaire somewhere in florida today.
