Has risen again. More than 90 people confirmed killed. The inferno is now the deadliest u. S. Wild fire in more than a century. The scale of suffering and trauma only now coming into focus. Cbs mornings coanchor decull poe is in maui tonight and leads our coverag. Tony, good evening. Reporter major, good evening to you. We are just back now from a shelter still filled with 1,000 people, five days after that wild fire chewed through parts of west maui. And many people here tell us theyre still trying to comprehend the sheer scale of the devastation and to process the pain. The people in hawaii are some of the toughest around, but even they need help. They certainly do. Theres a search here for everyday things like gasoline, phone reception, just a signal, or your next hot meal. Power outages are rolling and it means that major appliances are all but useless. Residents say its local volunteers and groups that have stepped up while the government has so far,r, thahat help mostl words, not yet deeds. Theres also increasing frustration, major, about the response to the fire threat, warnings that were never heard or never seen. We do have full coverage tonight of this historic destruction and well begin with our Jonathan Vigliotti who has been on the ground here in hawaii for days. He has the very latest. Jon jonathan . Reporter tony, at this hour, hundreds of people are still missing. As the days go by with no word, hope is quickly fading that everyone will be found alive. First responders have described absolutely horrific scenes. And a warning to our viewers, what youre about to see and hear is disturbing. Local crews working with cadaver dog teams flown in by fema resume their search today in neighborhoods reduced to fields of ash. When we pick up the remains and they fall apart, i dont know how much more you want me to describe it. Thats what youre stepping on. Reporter mauis police chief says crews have covered just 3 of the destruction. Weve got an area that we have to contain that is at least five square miles. And it is full of our loved ones. Reporter the fire ripped through lahaina tuesday afternoon, a time many tourists and locals would have been walking and shopping on historic front street. I saw one friend dead on the ground like a piece of charcoal. Like pompeii almost. Just dead. I mean, theres nothing you could do. It was that fast. Reporter the first wave of 150 fema agents arrived on the island friday. 90 of them search specialists looking through homes, businesses and cars. This is french street. Without a proper evacuation order, people in a desperate attempt to outrun the flames got into their cars and took to the road. But the fire quickly caught up. In how these cars are lined up. Were talking dozens as far as you can see. There was so much panic as the fire hit. Sources close to the search, several of them tell me the death toll could be in the hundreds. If thats what theyre telling you, i wouldnt second guess them. Reporter fema administrator surveyed the damage. How long do you think it will take to conduct this search effort . I think it just depends on the conditions around us and how long the dogs can continue to go in there. Were bringing in more teams and more dogs so we can speed up that process as much as we can. Reporter as the search continues, with x marking buildings checked, county officials are now under fire for their response. A 2014 hawaii wild Fire Protection plan warned dry vegetation could fuel a catastrophic blaze, but action wasnt taken. And survivors say they werent told to evacuate until it was too late. And many people didnt even realize there was a fire until the flames were on their heels. The state attorney general is now investigating the countys Emergency Response before, during and affidavit the disaster hit, tony. Reporter you can definitely understand why, jonathan, thank you very much. The word of the day, though, is relief. Relief. Getting relief to those is one of the hardest challenges right now because everything needs to be flown in or brought in by boat. It is an island, after all. That takes time something that victims dont have right now. Our Cbs Los Angeles station reports that the dock here has become the epicenter of the relief efforts. It is so deaf stating. Reporter relief workers are rushing supplies into lahaina tonight by plane and by boat. We get water. We get food. We get toilet paper. Reporter people who lost their homes are now living in parks. We lost everything. Reporter arlan is looking for basic necessities. We need formula, diapers, ice, water and just food. Reporter officials estimate 86 of lahainas residences have been damaged or destroyed. I lost my condo, my jeep, my laptop, my cell phone, everything i ever owned for 40 years that i lived in lahaina. Reporter but theres no estimate for the Emotional Trauma left behind. This gentleman relives the terror of the flames in his sleep. I have nightmares of just screaming, run, run, run, run. If you dont run, youre going die. Reporter for him, there are friends lost and friends found. Im seeing people, now, oh my god, youre alive. Reporter in the park, there is food for the hungry. But their biggest need is a place to live and hope for the future. Im a little worried because i have a 4 month old and a 2yearold. Reporter and this dock normally Recreation Area now a vital part of the supply line. Volunteers packing baby food, gasoline, water and other supplies and delivering them by boat and jet ski. Tony . Reporter thank you very much. Important work there. The destruction from the wild fire spread not just along the coast of lahaina and whats known around here as the up country. We met locals in the region who are already thinking about their future while still also coming to terms with their loss. In the hills of maui, not far from the devastated coast, the fires have chewed through the up country grassland. In the cooler region alone, more than 400 million in damage. Nearly 700 acres burned and almost 550 buildings affected. Minutes from the airport, we spotted a team of locals looking for still smoldering hot spots and hoping to snuff them out. Mark joseph is a carpenter by trade. Theres probably about 60 or 70 we just put out today. I put out another 100 yesterday. I was here for about six hours. Everything around it is scorched and burned and gone. Reporter just up the road, monica owns this inn. Tuesday morning, she told me winds drove the smoke and flames over a gulch and straight toward her family property. Were putting out a fire right here by the cottage. And we were we br dousing it with bottles of water or our garden hose. Thats all we had. Reporter but the moment came when they could no longer hold we evacuated when the winds shifted and the flames became three and four stories high. Reporter wow. And the embers started to rain on us. And we said, its time to go. Reporter theres a lot more news ahead on the cbs overnight news. Nenew dove menen bodywashh gives s you 24 h hours of nonourishing micromoioisture.

The war in ukraine has now spread far out to sea. A russian patrol ship fired warning shots at a cargo vessel hundreds of miles from the war zone. The merchant ship was boarded and inspected and allowed to continue to romania. Moscow says it considers any ship headed toward ukraine to be carrying weapons and therefore legitimate target, but this is the first time the russian navy has opened fire on a foreign vessel far from ukrainian waters. Inside ukraine, the need for medical supplies and even ambulances has touched off a humanitarian convoy. Reporter a human chain to support ukraine. Here is a heavy one. Reporter boxes of medical supplies, bags of clothes, crutches for the war wounded. And four reconditioned ambulances organized by lifelines ukraine. All making the Long Distance drive from london to lviv. More than 1,200 miles in two days across the english channel, skirting france through belgium, germany, poland and then finally ukraine. Its hard to believe im standing here. Reporter terry is from st. Michaels on marylands eastern shore. We had eight of us driving in the four ambulances. Its kind of the equivalent of driving from where we live on the east coast to lincoln, nebraska. Reporter but that was just half his journey. He had first flown from washington, d. C. To london to join up with this convoy. What motivated you to make that journey across the atlantic, across europe . The frustration that i hadnt really been able to do anything. And then finding out that my dear friend was doing what he was doing. It required no thought. Reporter his dear friend is phil fletcher, his old roommate at georgetown university. The humanitarian need in ukraine remains extraordinary. Reporter with family and friends, they raised 20,000 through a go fund me site to buy and repair one of these british ambulances. The suspension is fixed, tires are fixed, you know, various spare parts are replaced. Its probably three days a week to get it done. Reporter to replace those destroyed by russia. And to meet the needs of more wounded in the war. Soldiers and civilians. We rode further on with mike from lviv east to the capital kyiv. Hes been driving donated ambulances to ukraine for 11 years. 77 vehicles since russia invaded last year. His experience makes him the goto guy for charities who want to get assistance in. You see the sign. What goes through your mind . There is a certain amount of coma. I dont know why im about to confess this. One of the times i came in after the longest break because of the war happening and covid, et cetera, i actually got hold of a hand full of soil. It was only for me. It was sort of like, this is back in ukraine kind of thing. That was quite emotional time. Reporter whats your message to americans who will be watching this . What you got used to because its on the tv, will seem very old to you. But to the person who just had their house bombed and doesnt have a home, lost a member of family member, even just lost belongings, that can feel like the first day of their war. We hear you. We hear your pain. Were here to help. We wish this would end. Reporter with the end of the war out of sight, terry is proof it can be anyones first day to support, just like him. Lviv, ukraine.

Reporter the Inflation Numbers seem to be easing. Are you feeling it at home, though . No. Not at all. Reporter and running the airconditioning all day doesnt help. On average, energy costs for american households this summer are expected to rise nearly 12 to 578 with the record heat. And it costs low income families nearly 9 of their paychecks. Theres a lot of work that shows poorer households do suffer higher inflation rate. These people are feeling it around 5 to 6 .

I dont know why i decided to draw that that day. Obviously could not have imagined where this picture would take us. Reporter digital artist Michael Winkleman admits the picture of uncle jim wasnt great. Its not like each day has to be a masterpiece. Reporter but on may 1st, 2007, he set a goal. I wanted to get better drawing. So i saw an illustrator out of the uk named tom judd, who did a sketch a day in his notebook for one year. I thought that was a cool way to get better at drawing. Reporter to get better, wipgleman known professionally as beeple started creating art he posted online daily. Where did you find your inspiration . Sometimes its art on the internet.

Reporter your digital art is one form of an nft. Yes. My digital art is just one use case of this technology that i belief will be like web pages.

His dad was an electrical engineer and his mom worked at a senior center. It was very boring. There was not a lot to do. And there was definitely no art. The first time i got a computer i was in fourth grade. And it was very, very immediately like, this was the thing. Reporter at 41 years old, hes now considered one of the most celebrated digital artists of our time.

Reporter alexander rodder is kristys global chairman for 20th 21st century art. What kind of impact have nfts had in the world . Enormous impact. It was a meteoric rise of the nft community and of the nft interest. It culminated really during the covid period. Reporter in march of 2021, christies auctioned off its first purely digital work with the unique nft. What was your goal . When we first started talking to kristys, no nft ever sold for 1 million. I had the record at like 750,000. So i was like, oh, this could be the one that sells for a million dollars. Reporter fr a million . Yeah.
