Wildfires that drove some into the ocean in an attempt to evacuate have led to at least 36 deaths on the island of Maui, Hawaii. In a press conference on Wednesday, Maui County Mayor Richard Bisson reported homes, businesses and other structures have been burned by the fires – many to the ground. Search and rescue efforts are ongoing.

The fires were fueled by strong winds from Category 4 Hurricane Dora, which missed Hawaii to the south by a couple hundred miles, according to AccuWeather.
