One of the first natural disasters in Hawaii has claimed more than 100 lives till now. Many reports believe that dry grasslands and strong winds from Hurricane Dora helped add fuel to the fire. As search operations begin on the island, authorities claim that hundreds of people are still missing. As network connectivity still remains weak due to the cell phone towers getting destroyed, communication has been a persisting issue. More than 400 Federal Emergency Management Agencies have been deployed to Hawaii as the administration continues its search and rescue operations. A number of athletes have also been at the forefront of providing supplies and medical help to Maui during this difficult time.
