I'm CBS News, Chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett, and you're invited to the takeout

no reservations required. Every weeknight, our podcast serves up a balanced menu of politics, policy,

and pop culture. The day's happenings with curiosity, informality, and humor. Serious discussion,

but we don't take ourselves too seriously.

Follow and listen to The Takeout with me, Major Garrett, on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Tonight, a special edition of the CBS evening news from here in Maui, where the Lahaina Wildfire is now America's deadliest in more than a century.

As the death toll grows, so does the anger.

The new questions tonight about what happened, and the threat isn't over.

Here are tonight's headlines.

It's like an ashen moonscape, every single house, almost every single tree. And it goes on like this for block

after block after block. We speak with survivors as a community waits for news about their loved ones.

I do expect the numbers to rise.

Hey, heads up, the line is live out on the ground right there.

Tonight, the new video about what may have caused the fire

and the stories of desperation to get out alive.

One of the island's most famous longtime residents, Oprah Winfrey,

You're good.

It seems like you don't realize it yet, but you're here.
