pawel.gaul/Getty Images (WAILUKU, Hawaii) -- Hawaii residents recounted fleeing from deadly, ferocious wildfires, which have prompted an emergency proclamation from the acting governor. "We started smelling the smoke, and that's when we knew we had trouble," Maui resident Steve Scott ABC News' Gio Benitez on Wednesday. "It came, and it came quick." The wildfires are spreading rapidly in very dry conditions combined with powerful trade winds being squeezed across Hawaii. The winds are being caused by a strong high pressure system to the north and a strong low pressure system -- Hurricane Dora -- well to the south.
