7:03 am
and the death toll climbing overnight. at least 36 people are dead and mass evacuations are under way right now. gio benitez is on the ground in maui for us where there is a state of emergency. gio, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning. we know there are at least three wild fires still burning here on maui. you can smell it in the air. and that historic town, so beloved, it is just gone this morning. of course, this is a place, and i'm struck by this. it's always filled with so much joy, so much aloha. but this morning there's so much sadness over the loss of life. that death toll growing overnight. we now know there are at least 36 people confirmed dead. >> oh my god. >> reporter: this morning a desperate attempt to save anything left behind after that out of control inferno on one of maui's most beloved areas. lahaina. the wild fires erupting across maui and hawaii tuesday killing at least 36 and burning through
7:04 am
600 acres so far, at least 271 structures damaged or destroyed. >> it was pitch black. there was so much smoke, it was so heart wrenching. >> reporter: amanda captain lost her home and both places of work. >> most of lahaina is gone. >> reporter: steve scott telling me he's still searching for his wife after the two got separated. >> i'm trying to find my wife. i know she's safe. i think she's safe. but i haven't found her yet. >> reporter: survivors detailing the apocalyptic scene. >> there were just guys riding around on bicycles and mopeds just screaming, you gotta go, the fire's coming. >> reporter: claire kent said she and her friends rushed to grab essentials and evacuate amid the chaos. >> we were dodging branches and things flying through the air. literally a wall of smoke. i could see actual flame, actual fire. >> reporter: while she made it out safely, her home town was decimated. to escape the flames, more than
7:05 am
a dozen people lumping into the ocean. >> we recovered 14 people so far from the water primarily it's been focused in a search and rescue posture at this time. >> reporter: aerials showing the extent of the damage. rows of incinerated homes. authorities saying 911 service is down in some areas, hampering rescue efforts. the completely uncontained fire destroyed historic cultural land marks across the bustling town, home to 12,000 people. the u.s. military stepping in to help, working to supress the fire while getting tourists off the island. >> the drive normally takes 45 minutes. took us two or three hours to get here. >> reporter: would be travellers now discouraged from visiting the popular vacation deaf nation. and this here behind me, this is actually the road to lahaina. it is still closed off. there's only one way in, one way out, just this road. that's what made evacuation efforts so, so different here in this area.
7:06 am
we also again talked about the three wild fires that are still burning in maui. you can see it. it is still windy here. the hope is that those winds die down just enough for search and rescue efforts to be helped out. they need that. it is uncontained right now, those fires. there's a worry about what that means for residents here on the island. whit, i know you and i, we both adore hawaii. i was here on vacation. this is where i was when this whole thing broke out. it is really hard to imagine a town of maui without lahaina town. that is how beloved it is here. you know how strong hawaiians are. even they are saying maui will never be the same. >> absolutely. my family's from ohio. i have family there. i have been to lahaina dozens of times. that tree in the middle treasured by locals and tourists alike. gio benitez, we appreciate it. for the latest on the rescue
7:07 am
efforts i smoke with adam winetrof just moments ago. adam, thank you for joining us and speaking with us during this very difficult time. we know federal resources are beginning to arrive there in hawaii, but what's the state of the search and rescue efforts right now? >> it's been a complicated day, as the wind is contained. we only, in the last few hours, saw that the red flag warning was withdrawn. that should give firefighters on the ground a little bit more leverage, as far as getting control of the fire. we'll be able to put helicopters back up in the air. >> we heard awful eyewitness accounts. we know the death toll is rising into the dozens. how worried are you that that number could go even higher? >> well, we've got a fairly large burned area that the search and rescue teams still need to explore and see whether there's any survivors in those areas. we do fear that there may be
7:08 am
additional casualties. we're hopeful that this is everyone that we found them all so far, but these were large and fast moving fires and it's only recently that we've started to get our arms around them and contain them. we're hoping for the best but prepared for the worst. >> how would you characterize the scale and scope of the devastation there? >> these fires took place in wildly separated areas. they were driven by very chaotic winds that reaches gusts of up to 80 miles an hour. in some areas it was just wild fire and brush that burned. in other areas it was right in the heart of town. lahaina has been some of the most shocking footage. i have been telling some folks some of the photos we saw reminded me of world war ii after the fire bombings. there are hundreds of structures damaged or destroyed. obviously, we have the updated death toll announced just this
7:09 am
evening. certainly for the folks in the community of lahaina and anybody who loves that town, this has been shocking. >> i was there on the big island a few years ago for the volcanic eruption. you've had hurricanes, floods, but have you personally ever experienced anything like this in the hawaiian islands? >> there have been some very large wild fires in recent years. we did have a record setting wild fire on the big island in 2020 but speaking from my own experience, the behavior of these fires and the way that they raced ahead of fire fighting containment efforts reminded me more of some of the things we see in the u.s. west coast. difference is that in some of those fires in the western united states, you've got a lot of territory with a long road ahead of you so when people need to get out, there are ways to do that. we are a small set of islands.
7:10 am
there are not a lot of escape routes. we did see some significant complications, both in the lack of access to some of these areas and also in the breakdowns of communication technology. >> for people who aren't familiar with the historic town of lahaina, can you explain the importance to the community, not just for the locals, but the tourists and do you have a sense of what's left standing there? >> we understand that a significant portion of the structures in the city have been damaged or destroyed. some of the photographs will show that. there are historic structures there. the water front is a very popular tourist attraction and it's got some history to it. i think anybody who knows the town and has visited and sees what some of the images that we are seeing out of that community now, it's probably a little shocking to them. i know it's being felt
7:11 am
throughout the community here. >> i have family in hawaii myself. i have been to lahaina many times. our hearts go out to all the people impacted by these devastating fires. adam, thank you very much for your time this morning. >> thank you, whit. >> there are still significant challenges ahead as they fight these fires. hopefully the winds die down in the hours to come. we'll have more information throughout the show. >> we will, whit. we are following the fact that those wild fires have left thousands of people stranded at the airport there. will carr joins us live from there with the very latest. good morning, will. >> r. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. this has turned into a travel nightmare after authorities told everybody, if they don't have to be here, they should get out. so many people rushed to this airport, only to find out their flights had been cancelled, leaving them camping out here. families sleeping on the ground, kids sleeping on the ground here. we have seen so many people along the hallways of this airport overnight. they're not sure what to do. we just spoke with one family
7:12 am
who told us their airline told them the fastest they can get a plane is saturday. that's extremely problematic because the hotels are either evacuated or sold out, and the shelters here are totally packed. this is not just an issue that's impacting hawaii. on the main land, passengers have been demanding to be left off of flights that are coming to hawaii. i was on a flight yesterday from los angeles to maui. so many families were demanding to be let off the flight. one mother had tears in her eyes. she said she was planning the trip of a life time. she dragged her family off that flight saying that was devastating but nothing compared to all the people who lost everything here. and our heart goes out to them. eva? >> will carr at the airport in maui, thank you. now to new details about the utah man killed by fbi agents as they tried to arrest him for threatening to assassinate president biden. mola lenghi has details. >> reporter: just hours before
7:13 am
president biden touched down in utah, the fbi says its agents killed a man who was threatening his life. two fbi officials tell abc news that 75-year-old craig robertson was fatally shot as agents tried to arrest him for threatening to assassinate the president and threatening other government officials. the federal complaint showing screen shots of multiple disturbing social media posts allegedly authored by robertson. one posted just four days ago that says, i hear biden is coming to utah. digging out my old gilly suit and cleaning the dust off the sniper rifle. fbi officials claim robertson appeared to possess numerous firearms in addition to what appears to be a long range sniper rifle. the fbi investigation into robertson, which began back in april, also detailed threats he allegedly made against law enforcement and other public officials including vice president harris, attorney general garland and gavin newsom. one official telling abc news that the threats were deemed
7:14 am
credible and the incident is now under review by the fbi's inspection division. one official tells abc news that this appears to have been more than just an idle threat. that robertson was making plans to take physical action when the fbi intervened. >> mola, thank you. now to new health concerns for diane feinstein. the 90-year-old was briefly hospitalized after falling in her home. senior congressional correspondent rachel scott joins us with the latest. rachel, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning to you. senator feinstein is 90 years old, the oldest member of the u.s. senate, and this morning sources say she is recovering after tripping and falling over a chair in san francisco on tuesday. her office describing this as only a minor fall, saying that she was briefly hospitalized and released once all of her scans were clear. this is just the latest health scare. she spent three months from capitol hill recovering from shingles. last month she appeared confused during a committee meeting. she was forced to rely heavily
7:15 am
on her staff when it came time to cast her vote. this is not the only i.n.s. den that's raising concerns about the health and the age of u.s. senators. 81-year-old senate minority leader mitch mcconnell suffered an episode, freezing at the microphone during a press conference. his office said that he was light headed. this is the oldest senate in over 100 year. there are no age restrictions or term limits. even though feinstein is not running for re-election, some lawmakers are saying that all needs to be reconsidered. >> that conversation playing out on both sides of the island. you are there in iowa. many of the republican presidential hopefuls will be heading to the state later on for the state fair. >> reporter: yeah, whit. nearly the entire republican field is descending on iowa for the all important iowa state fair including the front runner in this race former president donald trump. the next several days will be absolutely critical and the lead up to that debate. trump's rivals still struggling to close the gap with him. it's unclear whether the former president will take the debate stage. whit? >> rachel scott, thank you. we turn now to the latest inflation report due out this morning.
7:16 am
and what the new numbers tell us about another possible interest rate hike. elizabeth schulze is on wall street with what we can expect. good morning, elizabeth. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. this new report is expected to show that prices are still going up. but overall inflation is heading in the right direction. the government's consumer price index increased 3.2% in july compared to a year ago. that's a big improvement from that more than 8% rate at this time last year. much welcome news, prices for air fares and used cars. car insurance, gas prices are ticking up again. aaa said the national average is up about $0.30 in the last month fueled by opec supply cuts and slower oil refining because of extreme heat. supply chain disruptions from the war in ukraine are also keeping some grocery prices elevated. a loaf of bread now averages $2.56 compared to just over $2 at this time back in 2021. put it all together and the
7:17 am
moody's analytics calculates that the average american household is still paying an extra $730 every month for the same goods and services as they were two years ago. simply because of inflation. rebecca. >> people are still really feeling those effects. there's more to come as far as what the fed does with interest rate hikes, and whether or not this means we could see a reseg in the future elizabeth. >> reporter: exactly. the federal reserve will be closely dissecting this inflation report to see if it needs to keep on raising interest rates. those higher rates have made it more expensive for consumers to borrow money. credit card debt is over $1 trillion. so many economists on wall street are optimistic that the u.s. could avoid a recession. rebecca? >> elizabeth, thank you. whit? let's shift gears, go to philadelphia. there was magic in the air last night for the phillies in the city of brotherly love. they took on the nationals.
7:18 am
all started with westen wilson who hit his first home run in his first at bat in the may skwhrors. the 28-year-old spent seven years in the minors. finally made to it the big leagues. his dad bursting into tears. it didn't stop there. phillies pitcher michael lorenzen threw out a no hitter shutting out the nationals 7-0. his wife, mom, baby all cheering him on. the last no hitter for the phillies was in 2015. we can hear the cheers from from philadelphia. >> we're going to get a lot of philly in the show today. coming up new details about the american nurse and her young daughter released from one of haiti's most dangerous gang. >> an abc news exclusive. new body cam video in the tupac murder investigation. what they found and was it connected to the 1996 crime scene? is now the best time to book your holiday travel? but first back to ginger. good morning. >> hey, good morning. we heard a lot of misinformation or misunderstanding of what caused

7:42 am
vacation, but summertime travel has not been so easy. millions of travellers packing the airports mean these past few months have been crowded, hot and, maybe worst of all, expensive. experts say if you want an affordable trip, get ready to make your move now. >> some of the best deals available for the whole year are available right now. >> reporter: according to hopper, we're entering a stretch of low travel demand in september and october. the average domestic air fare is already down $32 from this time last year. >> there will be deals available for the next couple of weeks. the key is when you fly because september and october are the two cheapest months of the year to take a trip domestically and internationally. >> reporter: check it out. fall round trips to vegas and orlando are down 25%. that's 60 bucks or more per person. round trip flights to l.a., $109 cheaper on average, just $189

8:03 am
acres. at least 271 structures damaged or destroyed. more than a dozen people jumping into the ocean at lahaina harbor. aerials showing the extent of the damage, rows of incinerated homes. 911 service is down in some areas, hampering rescue efforts. the completely uncontained fire destroying historic cultural land marks across the bustling town, home to 12,000 people. earlier this morning, whit smoke with adam from hawaii emergency management. >> we've got a fairly large burned area that the search and rescue team still needs to explore and see whether there's any survivors in those areas. we do fear that there may be additional casualty. >> reporter: steve scott telling me he's still searching for his wife after the two got separated. >> i'm trying to find my wife. i know she's safe. i think she's safe. but i haven't found her yet. >> reporter: survivors detailing the apocalyptic scene.

8:05 am
that's why they're trying to keep everybody limited here and try to keep everybody away and trying to get those tour oeufs out. eva? >> gio, we can see how windy it is there this morning. our thoughts are with them. thank you. the wild firesave left thousands stranded at the airport. will carr joins us live from there with the latest. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, eva. this has turned into a travel nightmare over the past 24 hours, especially after authorities told everybody, if they did not have to be on this island, they should get out. everybody went to this airport, many finding out their planes had been cancelled. they've been camping out. you can see literally sleeping here on the floor of the airport. i just saw a guy sleeping inside oven an x-ray machine. you have kids sleeping on the floors here. this is problematic because hotels have been evacuated or have been sold out. the shelters are just jam packed. some have flights but others are telling us they can't get out at least until this weekend.

8:07 am
governments consumer price index increased 3.2% in july compared to a year ago. that is a big improvement from that 8.5% rate we saw at this time last year. some of the biggest price declines are for air fares but gas is ticking up. aaa said the national average is up about $0.30 in the last month fueled by opec supply cuts and the extreme heat we've been seeing. supply chain disruptions from the war in ukraine are having an effect on grocery prices. a loaf of bread averages $2.56 compared to just over $2 at this time two years ago. today's inflation reported could give some comfort to the federal reserve as it considers a pause in its interest rate hikes. those higher rates made it more expensive to take out a new home or car loan or pay off your credit card debted. guys? >> lot of ripple effects there. thank you, elizabeth, for joining us from a busy wall street.
