Tonight from here in Maui, we're helicopters above are rushing in aid. The devastation and growing outrage as homeowners try to return. Anger boiling over at the checkpoint back into the town of Lahaina. Residents desperate to see what's left of their homes. Others searching for missing loved ones. Hundreds still unaccounted for. The new images of burnt out cars. Survivors in dire need of food and supplies.

And new questions tonight. Where were emergency officials when the fires broke out? Plus, the family who fled into the ocean to escape the flames. What they told me about how they waited there for hours.

Both sides to the left and the right are on fire.

And the newscaster breaking down live on the air.

This is one of the toughest stories that I've had to cover in my time here.

Also breaking tonight, a massive explosion destroys homes in one Pennsylvania town. The investigation now into what caused it. Nearly all Republican candidates in one place in Iowa. Our reporter with former President Trump as we learn when a Georgia grand jury will hear a new case against him. Is there any chance you take a plea deal in Georgia? Frightening.

Close call at a San Diego airport. A Southwest flight almost taking off into a landing business jet is an air traffic control shortage to blame? And back here in Maui, the unbreakable spirit of the people here, how they're making it through this disaster together. This is NBC Nightly News reporting tonight from Maui, Tom Yamasaki. And good evening. We are here in Maui tonight where the scope of the devastation is finally coming into full view.

Behind me here, just a sliver of the destruction, but you can see the power of these wildfires. We've now learned that some 2200 structures were damaged or destroyed by the fires, nearly all of them residential. This is the scene today, miles of cars trying to get back into Lahaina. Homeowners hoping to learn if their house still stands. Across the island, thousands are now homeless and so many are in desperate need of food and supplies.

But they are the lucky ones. The death toll is expected to grow even higher.

Tonight, desperation is growing as families search for clues about their missing loved ones. Hundreds still unaccounted for. If you have a roommate that you're still looking for, you don't know if they're alive.

No, no.

Lahaina resident Jill Gordon escaped the thick black smoke and growing flames with her roommates. But in a panic, Goh says one of them, Gina LIASSON, turned around to grab her phone. It was the last time they saw her.

So, Gina, please come back, like. Please be well.

Officials say the death toll is now at least 80.

That's Coach Conrad.

Tells residents still desperate to survey the extent of the damage and get into Lahaina, the town most devastated by the wildfire. NBC's Steve Patterson is at one checkpoint to enter where many today were being turned away. What you're seeing is the road to Lahaina. Some people have been waiting in this line for more than 15 hours to get access to their homes.

I can tell you the mood is tense. People have been sleeping in their cars. They want answers.

I want this area cleared just in case of an emergency. All right.

After letting people through for 90 minutes today, Maui police abruptly shutting down this entrance, leaving many drivers furious. How are people supposed to get there? The damn roads are closed. Get some authority out there. Figure it out. It's just nonsense. We saw the devastation in the area firsthand from the air. See this? Most of the devastation, you actually understand why people had to jump in the ocean to escape those wall of flames.

Because, look, the wildfire comes off the mountain right here and it marches incredibly fast through the town, reports everything inside. There's no way to escape. The only place to go is in the water.

And so many people have died. My friends lost their grandparents in the fires. People are being found in their cars.

Lahaina resident Dustin Carlock, who escaped the inferno with his family. This is what they found when they came back. Dustin, what was it like to go back yesterday?

It was crazy. You see in the photos, everything's gone.

Questions are mounting over the emergency response to the fires. Maui's communications director confirming to a local news outlet neither Maui fire chief nor its top emergency management official were on the island when the fire hit that day. They have not returned our requests for comment with the state attorney general opening an investigation. NBC News has also learned warning sirens were not activated, according to Hawaii emergency officials.

And while phone television and radio alerts were, the governor says communications infrastructure was knocked out by the fire.

No emergency system in most people.

Their phones were gone before they could get it.

Many have said they didn't receive those warnings.

That's coming this go for you later.

Amid the rush, the only to escape routes out of Lahaina along the coast were backed up. It's feared many of those who died were in their cars.

It just seemed like every second was 10 hours waiting. And I kept saying, Do we get out and run?

For some, the scale of the tragedy is simply too much.

This is one of the toughest stories that I've had to cover in my time here at a very.

Raw emotion clear in the voice of Dylan and shut up. A reporter for NBC affiliate in Hawaii, KHL.

This is not an easy time for the entire state. And we are working to bring you the very latest information.

And all of that emotion still unfolding, as you can hear above us. The firefight continues. For many, surviving the fires was just the beginning. The island is now facing a massive humanitarian crisis with people now homeless, desperate for food and supplies. Dana Griffin is covering all of that for us tonight.

By air, by sea and by road. Supplies are being delivered throughout Maui to those cut off and displaced.

When we first left, it was literally just the clothes in our back.

Janice and Alexandro Coucou Rosie, they barely escaped the flames in Lahaina. Now they are among the estimated 4500 people on the island in desperate need of housing. What's the state of your home?

It's the the complex has buildings that are burning, buildings that are standing. Ours are standing. But we can't get down downed power lines, no running water, no electricity.

And she says even though a police officer helped them get inside briefly to retrieve clothing, the apartment will never be inhabitable again. They now need a place to sleep. Food, water and a way to survive. Moving forward.

This is very close community in line. And so I'm like my job. The building burned down. So people are without jobs.

And trucks full of supplies, more trucks full of supplies.

Across Maui, residents have been doing what they can to help.

Maui Prep will be doing food distribution to at 11 a.m..

And with phone service still disrupted. Radio stations like 93.5 FM are broadcasting extra hours to get messages out about resources and trying to help families reconnect.

We have our line of people, people on the west side who are cut off from communication. So it's been really tough for them to communicate to this side and vice versa.

Four days after the devastating fires broke out. So many still wondering, do you know if anyone made it or didn't make it or are still missing?

Yes. So we have a couple of people that we're still looking for from our congregation.

Minister Shea, Leah Leahy's historical church in Lahaina was destroyed. She shared this image of the church before the wildfire. This is what it looks like now.

The people here have lost so much. Dana Griffin joins me now. Dana, tell our viewers a little bit about what the needs of the people here in Hawai'i are right now.

Tom, the need is so massive and now we're right now thousands of meals and gallons of water. The governor even asking people to help take in evacuees. Tom?

Dana Griffin for us tonight. Dana, we appreciate that reporting. We've heard so much about the people who fled into the ocean to survive when the fires broke out. Tonight, we're finally hearing from some of those survivors directly. They are some of the most terrifying images from the fires. Desperate people rushing into the ocean, the only way to escape the flames there.

We're in the ocean.

19 year old Noah Tompkins was one of them, along with his 13 year old brother, Milo.

You're gonna be okay, Milo.

And their mother.

Both sides to the left and the right are on fire. White folks are starting to die.

How did the idea to run into the ocean? How did that even happen?

We kind of had it in the back of our mind the whole time that we wanted to be next to the water. If things got really bad, we could, you know, save ourselves by jumping into the ocean. And that that is what it came to. If we walked across the street, we would have been like we would have been in the fire.

Emily, what were you thinking, man? You're like a little guy, and you seen all this craziness in front of you. What was that like?

I was just trying to survive. Like I was just in survival mode. And that's it.

The three wading in the water for hours. Did it get to any point below where you were, like, kind of scared? Like when are we going to get rescued?

Yeah, because they're taking like a really long time because they couldn't get to us because all the cars were blocked off. So we're kind of just trapped in the ocean.

I didn't think we were going to get rescued. I thought we were going to have to wait until daylight and then swim out more and towards safety.

Despite his fears, Noah kept the family calm.

I don't. Look, this was a good. I'm sorry.

They waited there well into the night. The flames burning on land just beyond them. And when their mother started getting too cold.

There was one point where we kind of, like, all huddled around her and just wanted to keep her warm. We kept, like, rubbing her arms, just like trying to create some warmth for her.

As your mom talked to you guys and thank you for being by her side or.

We didn't save her, she also saved us. Like if any of us were alone, I don't know if we would have made it. It was the fact that all, all of us were together that that helped us the most.

Just one of the families here in Maui who shows you the resilience of the people here in Noah tells me he doesn't want to leave Lahaina. He wants to be here as it rebuilds to help the people on this island. And we're going to have much more from the wildfires here later in the broadcast. But we want to turn now to some other news we are following.

Breaking news out of Pennsylvania, where multiple people were hurt after a house explosion. You can see the explosion right there and then the flames. Just moments after it happened this morning in a suburb of Pittsburgh, some people are still unaccounted for. Three homes were destroyed and at least a dozen more were damaged. Now to politics and a showdown in Iowa.

Nearly all of the Republicans running for president hit the state fair today, including former President Trump, just as we learned another indictment may be coming soon. Vaughn Hillyard was with Mr. Trump today. Good.

Thank you. Former President Trump on Saturday defiant as he waded into crowds of thousands at the Iowa State Fair. President Trump, did you intend.

To overturn.

The 2020 election?

You know the answer.

He is facing his potential fourth indictment, this one in Fulton County, Georgia. In Atlanta, prosecutor could be looking at filing state charges against Trump and allies over their alleged efforts to overturn his 2020 loss in Georgia. Jeff Duncan, the former lieutenant governor, confirmed today he will appear before a grand jury on Tuesday.

I'll certainly answer whatever questions put in.

Front of me. Is there any chance you take a plea deal in Georgia? Because we did nothing wrong.

Everything is, sir. It comes just one day after a D.C. judge overseeing his pending criminal trial for alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election warned Trump not to create a carnival atmosphere.

I hate to say this we did much better in 2020. The election was rigged.

The judge placing a protective order on the 2024 GOP frontrunner to not reveal sensitive materials related to his case. The most recent New York Times poll of Iowa Republicans giving Trump the clear caucus lead his GOP rivals here today as well. And taking shots at the former president for not supporting a pledge to support whoever becomes the GOP nominee.

It's not just about you. You got to be willing to stand up and support the team.

Darkhorse candidate Vivek Ramaswamy continuing to lay his own beat.

Set back to reality of the.

GOP's gravity. And Nikki Haley speaking with NBC's Ali Vitali.

I know Trump very well. I don't think he's the right president going forward.

Vaughn joins us tonight live in Des Moines. So, Vaughn, how soon could those potential charges in Georgia against former President Trump be announced? As soon as Tuesday.

And it's not just Trump. Potentially more than a dozen of his allies in the state could face charges stemming from this investigation as well.

Tom von Hill here from the campaign trail tonight. Vaughn, thank you for that. And still ahead, another dangerous close call between two flights at a US airport. Why does this keep on happening? And we're back now with another close call between two flights at an American airport. It happened this time in San Diego when a jet flew closely above another flight that was about to take off.

Sam Bruck has more.

Once again, a routine procedure at a U.S. airport could have proved disastrous. This time at San Diego International.

All around flights, a published missed.

Approach going.

Around for.

A lecture. Friday's close call on the runway simulated here shows a Cessna Citation business jet trying to land right over a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737. Although it's not clear exactly how close the two aircraft came. The FAA explaining in a statement the controller had previously cleared the citation to land and then instructed the Southwest plane to taxi onto that runway and wait for instructions to depart.

A surveillance system then triggered a warning. John Cox, a pilot with decades of experience, says that's part of a layered system of protections. The fact that you have someone, an air traffic control who told a business jet they were good to land, and then also told a Southwest airplane they were good to be on that same runway. Does that raise questions to you?

It's done. It's very common. Very, very common to clear an airplane, to land on a runway, knowing that there's going to be a departure off of it. There's a given cadence. There's a pace to it. Not of that close call with seconds to spare.

A spate of scares this year has drawn federal scrutiny.

Southwest bought FedEx is on the go.

From a FedEx plane that nearly landed on top of a Southwest flight in Austin. Two planes clipping wings at Newark Liberty International. Do you think it was a combination of things that are going on here from miscommunication to air traffic control, perhaps erring to lack of staffing? Is it a whole bunch of things?

I think there's a whole bunch of things. I think that the the lack of staffing on the part of the air traffic controllers clearly I think is is causing stress in their system.

Now, a handful of severe incidents prompting a closer look at protocols. Sam Brock, nbc news.

Tonight is the night to step outside and look up at the stars. The annual Perseid meteor shower peaks tonight across much of North America. It's usually the most impressive light show of the year because it has the highest rate of shooting stars. And when we come back from right here in Maui, Hawaii's unbreakable spirit and how it's helping these people in a time of crisis.

So finally, from here in Maui, we've seen so much destruction and heartache, but we've also seen so much love. The people here coming together as only Hawaiians can. Tonight, the power of the wildfires that are burning in Maui, being met with an equal force not seen but felt. The massive volunteer and charity effort, all part of the Ohana spirit, the life force that fuels this island chain.

It means if you're here, your family and what is the Ohana spirit and.

Honors like so? Well, all of these family, you do whatever you can to help your family.

That love and care playing out across Hawai'i.

We're connected by, you know, one vision, like, you know, helping each other out.

Put into practice here by volunteers like Lila Larson. Gathering supplies for those who lost everything.

Maui is coming in strong. Maui is coming together.

Postal worker Maria Gomes still delivering mail, making sure, despite the tragedy, this community stays connected. What's been the toughest part so far?

The toughest part is seeing all the families not here that I used to wave at, or the two little kids up the street run to me and grab their mail.

Also not forgotten. Beloved pets displaced by the fires. Maui Humane Society's Katie Shen and her team working around the clock, providing food, medicine and medical care.

We know that rebuilding Maui and rebuilding Hawaii in this is going to take an island. And so what we are trying to do is to work together as much as possible.

One island coming together and embracing everyone as family. And we know Hawaii is not alone tonight. So if you want to help, you can donate to any of these three websites on the screen, or you can make a $10 donation to the American Red Cross by texting Hawaii to 90999. That's NBC Nightly News for this Saturday. I'm Tom Yamiche.

We'll be right back here in Hawaii tomorrow for all of us here at NBC News. Have a good night.
