Hawaii’s governor says terrifying ‘1,000-degree’ fire tornadoes tore through city buildings – as revealed island’s warning sirens DID NOT go off

Hawaii’s governor has said the terrifying fire tornadoes that tore through the island’s buildings were “1,000 degrees” — as it has been revealed that warning sirens did not go off.

The fires on the island of Maui have now become the deadliest wildfires in modern US history – killing 93 people – and authorities are still working to identify the victims.

Hawaii Governor Josh Green described the wildfire as a “fire hurricane” — with winds reaching 80 mph and temperatures reaching “1,000 degrees of heat.”

Meanwhile, Hawaii Emergency Services Administration said Friday, “Neither Maui nor HI-EMA activated warning sirens on Maui during the wildfire incident.”

Green told MSNBC on Sunday that the weather front propelled by Hurricane Dora created fire cyclones that could pass through buildings.

He called the area a war zone and added, “Everything has burned down in Lahaina.

“As the fire jumped from place to place — there were three or four fires going on at the same time — it was sown very quickly with those 80 mph gusts.

And then the fire moved through the community at essentially a mile a minute, 60 mph.

“This is what a fire hurricane is going to look like in the era of global warming.”

The siren system in Maui is “used to alert the public to seek additional information; they do not necessarily indicate an evacuation.’

Instead, locals were forced to use alerts sent to mobile devices and local radio and television stations to get information during the inferno.

The inquiry comes as locals say they have not been given enough warning time to respond to the natural disaster.

New footage has also emerged of people jumping into the Pacific Ocean last week in an attempt to escape the flames as the fires engulfed the island.

Those from the city of Lahaina are thrown around the choppy waters as thick smoke and embers surround them.

Historic town resident Joan Hayashi told Fox 11 that those in the water had to wait eight hours to be rescued.

Hayashi said, “It sounded like a giant torch, we had to run into the ocean. We’ll probably be in the ocean for eight hours. Flames crashed, things fell from the palm tree.’

Unfortunately, while rescuers pulled some local residents to safety, not everyone who jumped in to escape the flames made it out alive.

Federal aid workers are now tasked with sifting through the ashen lunar landscape left behind by the fire that razed the ancient town of Lahaina to the ground.

Teams have marked homes with a bright orange X to record an initial search and contact HR when they discover human remains.

Maui Police Chief John Pelletier said crews with cadaver dogs covered only 3 percent of the search area, and the death toll is expected to rise again.

Pelletier said identifying the dead is extremely challenging because “we pick up the remains and they fall apart”

Pelletier said, “When we find our family and our friends, the remains we find are from a fire that melted metal.”
