And amid the destruction on maui, the beloved landmark Still Standing announcer this is Nbc Nightly News with lester holt good evening, and welcome, everyone. In maui tonight, residents and survivors of this weeks deadly firestorm are being allowed to return to the scorched neighborhoods they called home to see what is left, but warned by hawaiis governor to brace for the worst. Many residents of haina after ng harrowing escapes from the Advancing Flam asking the tough questions tonight, why there were no Warning Sirens before flames consumed everything around them. Tonight, the lahaina fire is largely contained, and power and cell service are slowly coming back to life in a moment, my interview with hawaiis governor about concerns over warnings but first our Team Standing by in maui. Tom llamas leads off our coverage tonight. Tom joining us now with some breaking News Reporter we learned Emergency Management did not sound off those sirens, which could have let residents know danger was approaching. Alerts did Go Out Via Phones and on broadcast tv and radio, but we just got back from flying over lahaina, and i can tell you, once that fire hit, there was almost no escape tonight, the return to lahaina, residents allowed back in, and we saw from the skies above the shock that awaits them. Even at 400 feet in the air, you can still smell the smoke days later, and you look down, and you cant make out what youre seeing it looks to be a town that once existed, but nearly every building, every house, every car scorched completely off the map. Block by block we see a grid of misery, once the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom, a tourist mecca, and now a wasteland of ash and rubble down there, theres the grim search for bodies happening right now, those that could not escape, and the residents of lahaina believe that the death toll is going to be much higher, and officials have warned that they expect to find even more bodies once they start searching building to building, house to house. We rode in with maverick helicopters usually giving tours, today saving lives its just been heartbreaking. Its almost hard to even put into words what weve seen out here. Reporter their choppers carrying thousands of pounds of aid being unloaded by regular hawaiians looking to help. Well, lying dead in the streets out here, hundreds of people are dead i dont know whats really on the news, what theyre saying. Has it been terrible to see those images . Its devastating. Its horrible. They had no warning. It happened so fast. The winds were so strong reporter new video just in showing the power of the deadly fires forcing so many to flee into the water, clinging to rocks amid crashing waves and thick smoke. For days the catastrophic wildfires have burned in maui carving a deadly path likely becoming the largest Natural Disaster in hawaiis history. Everybody lost everything we dont know how to feel i dont know how you guys are supposed to feel. Reporter the cause of the fire is still under investigation, and many residents say the flames erupted with almost no warning. My heart is just broken for everyone, everyone who has lost someone, everyone who doesnt know where someone is reporter Maui Resident Danielle Yaku tells me she cant get in touch with her grandmother. We dont know where she is. Reporter who lived in an assisted living facility. What would you want to tell her id want to tell her id want to tell her that were looking for her. Grandma, were looking for you. If if you can reach a phone to call us, let us know where youre at or anybody can see her, you know, is with her and knows who she is, and just contact us we just want to find some contact to get her. Reporter National Guard recovery teams are on the ground in lahaina working their way through neighborhoods where homes once stood. The full extent of the destruction of lahaina, it will shock you. It does appear like a bomb and fire went off. Lets go. Reporter already this is among the most deadly Wildfire Disasters in the u. S. As the staggering scope of devastation continues to grow. Tom, the scope of the devastation just setting in really as the number of victims there only seems to be Climbing Reporter thats right, lester, and with residents being allowed back in, we believe were going to learn much more information about not only what was lost, but who was lost as so many tonight remain missing. We should also mention that there are several wildfires all throughout maui that are burning. This one in the kula neighborhood you can see destroyed everything as we actively hear firefighters in helicopters dropping water over us. Lester all right, tom llamas, thank you. And theres so many stories of sorrow and uncertainty as people on maui mourn the dead, search for the missing, return home to find abject destruction. Heres Miguel Almaguer reporter as the smoke and flames finally began to clear, tonight here in lahaina, a new crisis unfolds. In this desolate tortured landscape, the search for the missing and for the dead thats my house right there. Reporter kimo kirkman has finally made it home, but all he has found is heartbreak oh, my god. Its the most heartbreaking thing ive ever been through. Reporter we first met the kirkmans thursday, who like so many families waited for days on the side of the road or inside shelters for this chance to go home. Why do you get emotional talking about your community because i love my community. Theyve raised my girls with me. Reporter the kirkmans have closure, but far too many are haunted by the silence. Tonight there is no official number for the missing. While some fear it may be as high as a thousand, a stream of pleas cry out on social media, mothers, fathers, children, desperate to find loved ones what goes through my mind is do i just go over there and find my dad because no one else is. Reporter from california, Kimberly Boone is waiting for any word about her father. 79yearold shadow hasnt been seen since the flames overtook his neighborhood for days to go by, those numbers are going to go up, and if he did get evacuated, where did he get evacuated to . Theres no information regarding that reporter jason says his mother is also unaccounted for. My plan is to get on a plane and fly out there and find out what the heck is going on. Reporter Yvonne Weldon hasnt responded to the urgent calls from loved ones. A maui resident of 20 years, she lived in the heart of lahaina what worries you, is it internet access, or is it Something Else reporter many here believe the death toll is far greater than the number confirmed residents continue to tell us, there are bodies in homes, cars, and in the Water Survivors tell us when the fire first hit lahaina, there wasnt warning or much time to evacuate. Imagine being home, hearing screams, and looking outside, and seeing a wall of flames thats what neighbors say happened right here were all a family. We all we dont even lock our doors in our neighborhood theres nothing here for us anymore its its just devastating. Reporter tonight, so much destruction and so much uncertainty in this paradise now turned to ash. And, miguel, im looking at that line of cars over your shoulder there appears to be no end to the number of people trying to get back into lahaina. Reporter yeah, lester, this line of Traffic Stretches for miles. We know so many folks, itll be their first time returning back to the burn zone. Many share similar stories to the ones you just heard they are looking for loved ones, and many have lost it all lester im just thinking of the nervous anticipation of the folks in those cars. All right, miguel, thank you. Earlier i spoke with hawaiis governor, josh green, and began by asking him to respond to those complaints from residents who say there was no warning yeah, the tragic nature of this fire, which was made worse by 80mileperhour gusty winds from the remnant of hurricane dora, took out telecommunications, and they were fighting three other fires. Thats what ive heard so far. My understanding is theres a pretty robust siren system there, but it didnt work was there a Human Failure or equipment failure or a little of both its too early for me to tell much of the equipment was destroyed with fire, and its a very remote place. Of course, we would never diminish any kind of responsibility we will leave it to hiema, which is our Emergency Management team, to help explain things Going Forward right now were doing all that we can to support the families who have lost loved ones, and to make sure everyone has health care and soon housing because of the devastation. It is much like an atomic bomb hit lahaina, which is a part of maui leaving other devastation. We have heard a Staggering Number of those unaccounted for. Is it your belief that we will uncover more grim scenes or that many of these people, most of these people, are staying with friends or family or elsewhere out of contact . Yes, so thousands of people have been out of contact because there was loss of total power and cell service. Will the news get worse before it gets better it will there will be more fatalities reported. It will be billions of dollars of recovery, but we recover we always recover here in the islands. Governor green, i know you have a lot of work to do thank you for taking the time to speak to us. Thank you for including us.
