Over the last ten years, rip currents have killed more people in the United States than tornadoes or hurricanes. This year has already been particularly bad with 76 deaths reported through August.

Two years ago, 98 people died with the Champlain Towers South condo building partially collapsed. Federal investigators have been looking into the flaws in the building's pool deck.

Hurricane Idalia's storm surge and winds thumped the fishing community of Cedar Key on Florida's Gulf coast. Most people evacuated beforehand — but not everyone.

The National Hurricane Center says the eye of Hurricane Idalia came ashore near Keaton Beach, Fla. Forecasters have increased the storm surge potential to as high as 16 feet in some areas.

Idalia is expected to strengthen into a "major" category hurricane as it approaches Florida's Gulf coast. Local officials have warned residents they have little time left to prepare.

Maui's power company, Hawaiian Electric, is facing tough questions about its possible role in causing the Lahaina wildfire that took over a hundred lives and caused billions of dollars in damages.

Officials say the latest number of unaccounted for people following the Maui wildfires is about a thousand. They say they've had difficulty obtaining DNA samples from families, and verifying data.

Those displaced by the fires have found temporary quarters in hotels and with family and friends. One host opened their home to 87 evacuees, most of them from one extended family.

In West Maui, some people are heading to the hotels and Airbnbs that have been set aside for evacuees. But others are sticking with family or friends in surviving houses on the island.

The official in charge of the island's Emergency Management Agency has resigned from his post after the deadly fire on Maui. The agency didn't use its siren system to warn residents to evacuate.

Distribution of supplies is going well, but the search for victims is going painstakingly slow, given the challenges of finding and identifying remains.
