It is 67 tonight, but will likely go higher. Firefighters are making progress in getting the fires under control, the one that ravaged lahaina is 85 contained. The kihei fire is at 80 and a third fire is at 50 . However, there is a new evacuation tonight for kaanapali because of a fire. We are continuing to get harrowing tales from people who survived and barely escaped. There were people jumping into the ocean, swimming to boats to try to escape the fire. There are people on the ground crying, unsure where to go or not able to breathe because of the smoke and we were minutes away from that potentially being us just that close. Search and rescue teams are on their way to help, including some from california. Abc News ReporterMelissa Arden has a look at what is hawaiis worst natural disaster. Everything is gone. This is this is terrible. Heartbreaking images show the aftermath from hawaiis largest and deadliest wildfire. While dozens have been killed, hundreds more people remain missing. Theres no power or internet making communication difficult. Abcs whit johnson made it to historic lahaina harbor, a place hes visited many times but says it is now unreachable and sizable. There arent many, many buildings left standing. People tell us that it all happened so fast. The flaming embers started raining down from the sky, igniting buildings all around them, and many had just seconds to flee, some even jumping into the harbor, into the ocean to escape the flames. The coast guard saying they rescued 17 people from the water while the fire was raging tuesday night. An effort made more difficult by the conditions. So our crews did encounter those winds and some rough seas as a result of that. And there was smoke. Mark and michelle stiefel among those who lost their homes. And they tell me they received no official warning to evacuate until they saw the flames coming for them in lahaina. We were lucky that my wife happened to look out the window and see that the fire was coming. We were running for our lives. No sirens, no warning, no nothing. And we would have been inside with our windows shut and not paying attention. Wed be dead. Thats the couple losing their home for the second time. Five years ago, their maui home was destroyed by a wildfire fueled by winds from hurricane lane, hawaii. Officials telling the Associated Press there are no Emergency Management records indicating mauis warning sirens were activated on tuesday when the fires began. Hawaiis attorney general saying there will be a review of critical Decision Making and standing policies before or during and after the wildfires. Help is so greatly needed for all of the western maui communities that were devasted by these wildfires. Fema is now providing federal assistance. Melissa dunn, abc news, maui. Now the fire wiped out much of front street in lahaina. As you know, devastating hundreds of businesses in that very popular tourist spot. One of those businesses is coconino, a shop with hawaiian made home decor, wall art and photo frames. Kent huntsman, the founder and president of that business, spoke with abc seven news today and says hes already turned his attention to rebuilding as a leader. Ive already been focused on new locations and i really want to get involved. And we just we need to look forward as hard as that is right now. And in our building, right, by the way, is right next to this building that youre showing right now. Were right on the right hand side of it. Thats a a cement building. So its still there. But we were wood and were all gone. So, yeah, the impacts are so wide ranging and thats my whole goal. We make things on an island. We have 150 employees. This was our number one retail door, 130,000 just last month was salaries across the whole Company Contributed just from this one story. And were just one were just one small piece of the pie. So you can imagine your point to your point that thousands of people. And so i think we really need to focus forward. The good news, the governors been great. The government has been great. President biden approved funding so as fast as we can kind of get over this really tough emotion, we need to look forward to newlyweds from santa rosa stuck in maui during the wildfires are back home tonight. What was supposed to be their honeymoon quickly turned to an evacuation a day after they arrived on monday, the wildfires began. The smoke and flames could be seen from the couples patio. They had no access to food, power or phone service before evacuating. We took our back road that basically every local told us not to take. It probably took us around the hour driving, but it was a very, very scary road, really. Our hearts go out to all the people of china, the families that lost their homes, the families of the people that lost their lives. The couple says their long wait at two different airports in hawaii was a small price to pay after maui, families have suffered unimaginable loss in tragedy. Very good perspective from them.

There will be a different tone, of course, for an event full of vendors with ties to hawaii.

I have a dog, so the foods kind of big. Its just a lot of Different Things. Elizabeth lives in one of the neighborhoods surrounding the park. She says every year after the festival runs, people who live in this area have to deal with not just the noise, but also the trash left behind. Its one reason why she and many of her neighbors have concerns over proposals to expand outside lands for another weekend, starting next year, potentially adding as many as three new concerts at the parks polo fields. It really affects like traffic and like trying to get in and out across the city or like outside. So im i yeah, maybe not just outside is enough. Others, though, say the extra concerts would bring in much needed money to the city. Hundreds and hundreds of jobs for theatrical and stage workers. Weve got, you know, restaurateurs in its good for business in the sunset and in the richmond and its not just the city that would benefit, say, some residents. Paul brennan tells us he thinks the whole neighborhood would get a boost from the extra cash. Thats why for him, the pros outweigh the cons. I think there may be even, you know, some more interest in the neighborhood in general. Folks who come here for the show might think this is a place they want to buy or rent in as well.

On todays show, painting the sky. Elevating voices. Innovating skincare. Embracing unique talents. But first, celebrating food, wine, and music in napa. [music] Robert Glasper the blue note jazz festival is something unique. It is the Family Reunion of musical iconism and love. Alex kurland its about artists joining forces to create special moments and stuff that you cant replicate or see anywhere else. Its very exclusive to these special moments that we curate and that we care a lot about. Robert so, this is the blue note napa jazz festival, our Second Annual year, and its like a festival with different artists who basically were inspired by jazz. So, theres jazz bands here, but theres also other kinds of music here hiphop, r b, rock, soul, blues, all kinds of things that are inspired by jazz as well. So, jazz is the spine of it all, but you have all kinds of acts, like chance the rapper, nas, mary j. Blige, pj morton, lalah hathaway. This is our second year doing it here in napa. Dave chappelle hosted. Im the artist in residence, so i play every day, and dave helps my set. This started with my residency at the Blue Note Jazz Club that i do every october. And dave comes through and hosts sometimes with me. And we wanted to take that concept and bring it to a bigger stage. So, we have this festival here where its a lot of people, but at the same time, it doesnt feel like a lot of people, and it feels more intimate. Alex its a threeday, threestage festival. We have lots of activations and events going on. Its a smaller scale, smaller capacity, and its a boutique kind of festival. The spirit of the festival mirrors the culture and the artistry of Blue Note Jazz Club in new york. Here, youre gonna see something that youve never seen before ever. Youre gonna see certain artists perform together that youve never seen, and probably will never see again. And i try to curate those kind of things. Like, oh, that persons on that stage . Maybe after this, they can come over to this stage and jump on with us, and then they can go over here. You know, so i try to create these moments in the moment, which is what the spirit of jazz is as well. [harmonica playing] how does it feel for you to be performing here . Well, im excited to be back. Im one of the few performers who were here for the First Edition last year. And this year, the festival has gotten so much bigger, so much better. Kumasi what do you think makes this festival so special . Frederic i think the fact that we are already a community of musicians who Work Together and record with one another, and experiment together. The fact that were all here on the same compound, and its so free, and we have three stages we can just play with. They are like our basically our playground. So, this is really this is really special, the fact that were gonna have so many spontaneous interactions and jam sessions with one another. Thats great with me. Robert theres more than just music here, theres great wine. We have some amazing independent Wine Companies here. We have some amazing chefs here with amazing food. Kumasi what made you really wanna come out here to the blue note jazz festival . Well, we were invited. I had seen so much from blue note last year, i was incredibly excited about its return for the Second Annual. And i just wanted to be a part of this. And were super excited to be here in napa at the festival. Were sharing three or four out of our 10 wines
