we are live again tonight from maui, reporting from america's 50th state, hawaii, because it is grappling with the worst natural disaster in its history. today marks one week since the wildfires tore through lahaina, but the search and recovery for victims is just in the beginning stages. the death toll stands at nearly 100, but that number is expected to grow dramatically in the coming days. the national guard and 20 cadaver dogs continue the painstaking search for victims in the burned-out ruins. the maui police department revealing just tonight that they have identified four victims. it's calling on family members with missing loved ones to give dna samples. lahaina is the hardest-hit community, but right here in kula, known as upcountry, fires are still burning. moments ago we witnessed crews putting out new hot spots. president biden today making his first in-depth remarks about the tragedy and promising to visit. there is a lot to get to and we have team coverage of this ongoing disaster, starting with maui's long road to recovery. >> reporter: as lahaina still smoldeders, it is s a race to oh recovery efforts before forecasted rain, possibly hampering the search for remains. this historic town closed off, authorities warning about toxic hazards. >> the fact they are making it difficult for us to try and go baback to wherere we are f froms just hard and unbelievable. i mean, i still have loved ones that's trapped. >> today, officials were only able to identify four people using their fingerprints. but we are learning more tonight about victims found by their families, including the tone and takafua family. the four, including a 7-year-old, discovered inside a burned-out car. >> to see dead bodies -- [sighs] dead bodies in the rocks on the beach, bodies in the car, there was a kid underneath the car on front street, looked like his dad was trying to protect him. but they just was burned. >> norah: we witnessed the devastation firsthand, traveling to lahaina by boat, with volunteers delivering supplies. and you said there is a school right around there, too? >> right behind those boats. that's the school. >> norah: and that was decimated. that elementary school is where mindi cherry is a first grade teacher. >> they are just ash, and then all of the classrooms, all of the windows are blown out. the roofs were just kind of tilted on the ground. fire went through each building, so there's no windows, no doors. and every building is that way. there is nothing left. >> norah: with more than 1300 still missing, we heard about fears that many are children. >> i'm just going to be very direct with people, always. when the bodies are smaller, we know it's a child. that is one of the toughest parts of this. >> norah: president biden today speaking about the tragedy for the first time in five days. >> imagine being a mom or dad, wondering where your child is. >> norah: but in the midst of the ash, anguish, and unknown, there is still a tight-knit community. how would you describe the heart of the people from lahaina? >> so strong. yeah. they really care about each other and everyone, it's not just lahaina because now they are leaning on everybody from maui because there is no lahaina. >> norah: ally mattox runs lahaina grill and co-owns hotel lahaina, both burned to the ground. nearly 50 of her 75 employees lost everything. >> there's no way they can move back there even if the structure is standing because it's in rubble. >> norah: what is your biggest worry when it comes to all of the people you work with? >> i actually know that they are going to be okay because the people that work with us are strong, and they love each other and everyone is helping each other. i am so worried about all of the people that we don't know about yet. >> norah: there is still just so much emotion here. there are also new questions tonight about how the wildfires began and why the flames spread so quickly across the region. cbs's jonathan vigliotti reports there is also growing outrage over the response. good evening, jonathan. >> reporter: and good evening, norah. we are hearing from people that not only survived the flames but then went days without food, water, and even medical assistance, all while waiting desperately for help to arrive. one week after the catastrophic fire ripped through lahaina, tonight, many residents say they were failed by their government. was there any communication in these first few hours of that panic state? >> no. nothing. >> reporter: state officials are investigating what went wrong, but here's what we know: tuesday morning, 6:37 a.m., a three-acre fire breaks out near lahaina intermediate school. two hours later, it's declared 100% contained. but with forecasts calling for wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour, four schools in west maui were closed due to the powerful winds from hurricane dora. 3:30 p.m., hours later, the fully-contained fire, which may have given residents false hope, flares up. all the while, active power lines are down. they were never shut off. alert sirens designed to warn residents of an emergency sat silent. with no evacuation alert, kawena kahula barely survived. >> fear and panic that i have never experienced before in my life. >> reporter: she followed a line of cars, she thought, towards safety. you unknowingly were heading into the danger zone. >> willingly, unknowingly, blindly headed into the fire. >> reporter: the problems cascaded. fire crews had no water pressure. a utility official tells cbs news they ran dry when water leaked from fire-damaged pipes. all the things that went wrong compounded by what happened after the flames died down. kahula says no assistance came for two days. >> there is an airport right up the road. why isn't that being used? there is an oceanfront 20 feet from our lobby. why are we not using that? >> reporter: it's heartbreaking because there was ways to get help to you. >> yes. >> reporter: and officials say relief was delayed because the roads were blocked, but kahula tells me when she evacuated nearly three days later, the roads were cleared and help still had not arrived, norah. >> norah: such incredibly powerful interviews and reporting, jonathan vigliotti, thank you so much. while wildfires are still raging right here in maui, we are actually in a place known as the upcountry, in a town called kula, and just moments ago, we witnessed crews dousing hot spots just up here, not far from where we are, and they believe that that started this wildfire in this area that took out 19 homes, including the home behind me. it is a reminder tonight that the danger still exists. you can even hear some of the helicopters in the region. cbs's lilia luciano reports on a community that's relying on each other in the face of devastating loss. >> reporter: in maui's upcountry town of kula, this is the land where sweetheart mori's home stood just last week. >> we fortunately got out alive, before the fire came. >> reporter: were you able to salvage anything from your home? >> nothing. nothing. we came back the next day, and everything was still on fire. >> reporter: her family's survival is the only solace. >> everybody is struggling here. as it is, living day by day. but they still give, you know, they still want to help. >> reporter: kula residents jack swink, aaron mcveigh, and their roommates built a brigade of hoses with neighbors to save their block. >> we are still on edge. we do not feel like we are out of the woods yet. not at all. >> reporter: mori says many have wanted to buy off her property, but she says even if they need to pitch a tent, it's not for sale. it's for the next generations. amaya is mori's granddaughter. >> it has been really heartbreaking coming up and seeing my grandma's house gone. >> reporter: you are planning to rebuild? >> planning to rebuild. >> reporter: you will stay? >> yeah, we will stay. this is my land. this is my land. we from here. this is my country. so i cannot go anywhere, you know. i think about moving to the usa, because it's so expensive over here. but where i going? i don't belong there. >> reporter: mori told us, like those neighbors, her husband also tried to avoid evacuations and try and protect their home, but thanks to that granddaughter, she finally convinced him to leave, and now, of course, the house is destroyed, but the family is safe, norah. >> norah: yeah, and people don't know where to go. >> reporter: that's right. >> norah: lilia luciano, thank you so much. the other top story, the fourth criminal indictment of former president donald trump. the georgia grand jury handed up 13 counts against trump, including conspiracy and racketeering for his alleged attempts to overturn the results of that state's 2020 presidential election. cbs's nikole killion reports 18 others are also facing charges. >> reporter: the 98-page indictment was handed out as cameras rolled. it contained 41 felony counts listing former president trump and 18 other defendants, including members of his inner circle, former white house chief of staff mark meadows, and ex-personal attorney rudy giuliani. district attorney fani willis gave them ten days to surrender. >> the grand jury believes they were part of the illegal effort to overturn the results of georgia's 2020 presidential election. >> reporter: the indictment says the activity began within days of the 2020 election. willis used georgia's racketeering law to accuse trump and his associates of conspiracy. >> some of those acts may seem innocent, in and of themselves, but they are each steps, according to the prosecutor, to show a pattern of activity that is, in fact, composed of, ultimately, of crimes. >> reporter: the court filing cites 161 separate overt acts, ranging from lying to state legislators during a series of hearings at the georgia capitol to creating a false slate of electors and severe harassment of election worker ruby freeman. in a pair of truth social posts, trump called the indictment a witch hunt, renewing his claims of election fraud in georgia. the indictment also references trump's phone call to georgia's secretary of state brad raffensperger, which sparked willis' investigation. >> i just want to find 11,780 votes. >> reporter: today, raffensperger said, the most basic principles of a strong democracy are accountability and respect for the constitution and rule of law. you either have it, or you don't. tonight, trump's ex-chief of staff, mark meadows, wants his case moved out of fulton county to federal court. his attorneys say the allegations against him are not criminal, and they intend to file a motion to get the case dismissed. norah. >> norah: nikole killion, thank you. there is also some breaking news tonight. north korea is acknowledging for the first time that an american soldier ran across its heavily-armed border last month. the north claims that private travis king now wants to seek refuge there or in a different country. a defense official just telling cbs news that the u.s. cannot verify those statements came from king, and they remain focused on his safe return. he was set to leave south korea and be discharged from the army after serving 47 days of hard labor for assaulting two people. we want to turn now to the weather. powerful storms are in the forecast for the east coast, while record heat will be the problem in the pacific northwest. let's bring in meteorologist chris warren from our partners at the weather channel. good evening, chris. >> good evening, norah. strong to even severe storms expected for parts of the east coast for the next several hours. some of the storms that are going to come will bring at least the chance for some damaging winds, and then push off and really winding down during the overnight hours. heat has been going up. a heat wave gripping much of the pacific northwest, down into california. excessive heat warnings for millions of people. this heat is going to last for days. meanwhile, relief eventually coming to the pacific northwest, norah, however, that heat is just shifting over to the middle of the u.s. >> norah: chris, thank you. tonight, there are important questions about the first amendment following a police raid on a small town newspaper in kansas. the publisher tells us he's planning a federal lawsuit against the police department. more than 30 news organizations, including cbs news, have condemned the raid. cbs's elaine quijano reports on the potential constitutional fallout. >> reporter: surveillance video shows police in marion, kansas, raiding the offices of the "marion county record" last friday, seizing computers, servers, and cell phones. the paper's owner, eric meyer, says officers also searched his house, where his 98-year-old mother lived. she died the next day, he says, from the stress. >> it's intimidation. i think the whole point of this was intimidation. >> reporter: police say they suspected the paper of identity theft and unlawful acts. meyer says the paper obtained information that a local restaurant owner had a dui and was driving without a license for 14 years. that owner says the information was obtained illegally while meyer said it was provided by a source and confirmed by public records. the paper was also investigating allegations the new police chief, gideon cody, had left his previous job with the kansas city police to avoid a demotion for alleged sexual misconduct. meyer ultimately decided not to publish either story. >> everyone has to be protected against unlawful search and seizure. you have to justify that there is no other way to get something other than to intrude into somebody's house, to seize their property. >> reporter: federal law protects journalists, requiring police to subpoena any materials in most criminal investigations. but marion police defended the raids, saying the law does not apply when journalists "themselves are suspects in the offense that is the subject of the search." norah. >> norah: elaine quijano, thank you. fire officials find a possible cause into a deadly house explosion. we will have the details next. ♪ ♪ alk in the woods and i didn't get a single flea or tick on me. you are just
