WHERE THE DESTRUCTION FROM THE CATASTROPHIC WILDFIRES ARE ALL AROUND US. THE DEATH TOLL HAS NOW ROSE TO 67 NOW SURVIVORS ARE REGAINING ACCESS TO AREAS THAT WERE EVACUATED. MANY ARE RETURNING AND NOT SURE WHAT THEY WILL GO HOME TO, INCLUDING LORI AND CARL. THEY ESCAPE THE FIRES EARLIER IN LAHAINA. EXPLAIN WHAT YOU SAW AND WHAT YOU LIVED THROUGH. >> EARLY IN THE MORNING ABOUT 8:00 THERE WAS A SMALL FIRE AT LAHAINA ROAD. WE WENT OUT LOOKING FOR FOOD AND WHEN WE CAME BACK THE FIRE WAS SMOLDERING, THERE WAS NO ONE THERE TO PUT IT OUT. WITHIN A MATTER OF HOURS IT WAS RIGHT THERE. WE HAD TO HURRY UP, WE GOT AN ALERT ON HER CELL PHONE BEFORE THE CELL PHONES WENT OUT AND IT SAID IT WAS .6 MILES AWAY SO WE HURRIED UP AND WENT OUT AT ONE POINT WE HAD FLAMES ON BOTH SIDES OF US. WE COULD HEAR THE TREES BLOWING, WE COULD HEAR THE PROPANE TRAINING TANKS BLOWING AND THE STRUCTURES FALLING. >> DID YOU HEAR ANY SIRENS? YOU NEVER HEARD ANY? YOU DID GET AN ALERT ON YOUR PHONE? >> BEFORE THEY WENT OUT. >> BY THAT TIME IT WAS TOO LATE? >> ALMOST TOO LATE. WE WENT TO THE BYPASS THAT WE WERE TOLD TO GO NORTH AND WE COULD NOT GO TO NORTH AND WE WENT AS FAR AS WE COULD PRINT WE WERE IN LINE FOR ALMOST 20 MINUTES. >> COULD YOU FEEL THE HEAT? >> WE COULD FEEL THE HEAT. THE SMOKE WAS HORRIBLE. IT WAS HORRIBLE. WE COULD SEE THE FIRE SPREADING AND SPREADING AND THEN WE FIGURED IT WAS TOO LATE IT WAS GOING ACROSS THE HIGHWAY AND WE HAD TO TURN AROUND. WE TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK THROUGH A LITTLE FIRE, IT WAS NOT TOO BAD BUT THERE WAS FIRE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE HIGHWAY AT THAT POINT. WE WENT DOWN THE ROAD, -- >> WE PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD LIKE SO MANY UNTIL WE COULD SEE IT GETTING CLOSER THEN WE WOULD GO FURTHER. >> EVERYONE WAS DOING THAT. WE RAN INTO SOME PEOPLE WHO WE KNEW AFTER THE THIRD TIME. >> DID YOU HAVE TO ABANDON YOUR CAR OR DRIVE OUT? >> WE DROVE OUT. >> HAVE YOU SEEN GLIMPSES? >> JUST A LITTLE. >> CAN YOU TELL IF WHERE YOU LIVED IS STANDING? >> WE COULD NOT TELL. THE SCHOOL IS RIGHT BEHIND OUR HOUSE AND SOME SAID THAT DID SURVIVE. >> WE MIGHT HAVE A BETTER ACCURATE NUMBER ON THE NUMBER OF DEAD. SOMEONE SAID IT IS OVER 100. >> THEY ARE SAYING MORE THAN 67 RIGHT NOW. WHAT DO YOU NEED RIGHT NOW? I SEE YOU HAVE A STICKER. ARE YOU VOLUNTEERING? >> WE HAD TO TAKE MY DOG TO THE HOSPITAL YESTERDAY. >> IT WAS UNRELATED. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK THE PEOPLE OF MAUI NEEDED IF YOU'RE SPEAKING TO VIEWERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY? >> RIGHT NOW JOBS. >> WE NEED A WAY TO PAY BILLS. >> NOBODY HAS ANYTHING. THEY ARE GOING TO NEED EVERYTHING THEY CAN GET GREAT IF WE DO HAVE A HOUSE WE WILL TRY TO CLEAN THE SET OUT IN GIVE AS MANY PEOPLE PLACE TO SLEEP AS WE CAN. >> WE WILL EXPEDITE GROWTH AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. THEY CANNOT SIT ON THEIR LAURELS. >> DO YOU THINK OFFICIALS NEED TO BE BLAMED? >> FOR THE WARNINGS? >> THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF SPACE FOR WHERE NOT FIRE CAME DOWN AND IT HIT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE IS NOT A LOT OF TIME ONCE THE FIRE TOOK OFF. >> THE WIND PUSHED SO BAD. >> THIS HAPPENS EVERY FOUR YEARS. IT SEEMS LIKE SOMEONE IS SETTING FIRES EVERY TIME THERE IS A HURRICANE. I DO NOT KNOW WHO IT IS, BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE STOPPED. THEY FOUND THE ONE YEAR AND THEY DID NOT CHARGE THEM WITH ATTEMPTED MURDERS THAT THEY SHOULD'VE BEEN CHARGED. >> THERE IS NO EMERGENCY SYSTEM MOST PEOPLE'S PHONES WORK ON. >> WE ARE SORRY YOU ARE SUFFERING LIKE THIS AND WE HOPE THAT THIS AREA AND ALL OF MAUI GETS THE HELP THAT THEY NEED. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. >> JUST HEARTFELT PRAYERS. >> A SICK HUMAN BEING WOULD START THE FIRE IN A HURRICANE. >> EVERYONE JUST NEEDS
