Cal fire assistant deeply director Daniel Berlant is with us. Good morning. Good morning. You have conditions with wind and dryness that accelerate the spread. The good news is the wind did die down. Thats given us an opportunity to take a stand against many of these fires. What we were experiencing 24 hours ago is a very different fire, but theres still a lot of work ahead of us as dry conditions and warm temperatures continue to have a stronghold here on california. I know youve got more than 2,000 firefighters on the ground. Whats the biggest challenge . Its really been the unpredictable winds. Its those winds that fan these flames from rural areas right into the homes, burning everything in its path. Our latest estimates still show that 1500 homes and other commercial buildings were destroyed by these fires. Can you give us a sense of the scale of the destruction that youve seen thus far . The destruction is widespread, complete subdivisions, communities destroyed, burned down to the ground. It was all our firefighters could do the night of the fire just to get people evacuated.

We wish you the best, Daniel Berlant, thank you very much, with cal fire. Las vegas police made a significant change in the timeline of the Music Festival massacre.

Reporter former white house chief strategist steve bannon came to his old bosss defense last night blasting corkers comments as unacceptable. If bob corker has nihon or, any decency, he should resign immediately. Sometimes i feel like hes on a reality show of some kind.

David begnaud is back in san juan, puerto rico where the governor says theyre struggling to meet peoples basic needs. David, good morning. Reporter charlie, good morning. 20 days after maria made landfall, people are still not getting the food and water they need in isolated areas of the island. In the capital of san juan, generators continue to be the lifeline. A majority of the island still without power. Debris, 40 Million Pounds already removed in san juan. What hasnt been removed is causing major problems. In the figueroa neighborhood, debris has clocked street drains, contributing to wide spread flooding. This woman says the government has not helped with cleaning the streets. The only time shes seen the mayor is on television. We wanted to talk to the mayor about that. We found her at the Main Distribution Center at the coliseum in san juan. I have to make a decision, either i open the roads in order to save lives and i use the money that i have for medicine and for food and for water, and i decided the route to go was not a logistical route, but a human route. Reporter the governor was critical of the mayors response and sent a team of his own to help clear the streets on monday. This has been an ongoing problem that hasnt presented itself anywhere else in puerto rico. It wasnt handled by the municipality as it should have been. Reporter further complicating, allegations that aid is not being properly handled by distributors. They are not providing the water and food that is given to them, then theres going to be hell to pay. Reporter while 60 of the island has water, everyone is being told to boil it to present disease which is difficult because most people dont have power. People tend to always want to ask are things Getting Better. Reporter are they Getting Better, mayor . No, theyre not Getting Better because the supply chain of aid still is not robust and not continuous. Now i have about 20,000 families that im feeding on a weekly basis. I cant just tell them that i dont have any food or water for them next week or the week after next. Reporter outside of san juan, the disaster is leading to depression among people who are feeling desperate, and theres a real concern about the spread of disease. The governor confirmed to us there are at least five people who have symptoms that are consistent with lope toe sclerosis, thats a bacterial disease and tests are bending. David, when do they expect the majority of the power to be back on . Were told it could be up to ten months to a year before everyone has power. But what we have seen is in areas like san juan where power is being restored, a thunderstorm comes through and knocks out the power and destroys what progress is being made. That is stunning, staggering statistic. A year without power. Thank you for being there, reporting from puerto rico.
