Im more concerned about the heat and the potential records out west. We wont have records here in the east. Sacramento stays in the 100s. Very dry, very gusty, terrible for the fire conditions and thats why we head to our matt gutman there at the lowell fire. Matt. Reporter good morning, ginger. Just over the past hour the fire has really blown up about a half mile away from us now. We tried to get to the fire line. Firefighters stopped us. You could hear the intensity in their voices right now and this is the problem. Wind carrying the fire up the hill and across this valley and thats the case for firefighters across california this morning. Overnight with new fires exploding fueled by wind and heat firefighters scrambleing to gain the upper hand. New fires ss smoking up in bass lake and oakhurst.

Weve been watching this fire for four hours now steadily march up this hill now. Helicopter after helicopter dousing those flames. These fires taxing firefighters physically and mentally.

Reporter with firefighters strapped helping themselves. There are still about a thousand firefighters around here and as ginger has been mentioning all that heat and all that wind is going to make it a very difficult few days for them. This fire is 25 contained but finishing up this job is not going to be easy. George. Okay matt thanks. We turn to those threatening lers sent to nearly two dozen government offices in oregon. Some of them contain a white powder one sheriff has been rushed to the hospital with a roar. Pierre thomas has all the latest. Good morning, pierre. Reporter good morning, george. The concern in oregon is real this morning after that Law Enforcement official was hospitalized after opening one of at least ten letters sent to state offices. We dont yet know what that substance is but the oregonian newspaper says he sustained a rash immediately upon opening the letter. Theyre helping local officials to find out what this is and what sent it. Investigators are investigating whether it came from the same person. State officials will be testing that substance and may learn more today about what were dealing with george. Okay pierre. We have seen these kind of attacks before, thanks. To you to a real scare in the sky. A crowded passenger plane from china to dallas forced to turn around after it was struck by hail. You can see the damage to the nose right there. The plane did land safely and abcs jim avila has our story. Good morning, jim. Reporter good morning lara. It was a short flight less than an hour but passengers aboard one of the newest planes will not forget. This morning a look at what severe hail can do to a modern jetliner. Yeah wow. Reporter this brandnew boeing dreamliner took off monday an American Airlines flight from beijing headed to dallas ft. Worth. 44 minutes into the flight the plane hit Severe Weather. All we can tell you it was just crazy, going sideways up and down. It was scary. We dropped a good few hundred feet at least. I thought the plane was going down actually. That feeling of shhh. Reporter the pilots pump turned back and landed safely but with some major depths in the nose cone. Hail can damage an airplane to the point that it actually brings an airplane down if it damages engines or control surfaces it can make it unfly unfliable. Reporter its not the first time this happened. In june this 747 forced to land after hail pummeled the nose and wings so badly, delta grounded the plane permanently. As for that dreamliner fortunately none of that dreamliners 222 passengers and crew on board was hurt. The nose cone covers some radar equipment, but the planes operations were not hindered. Remember this plane is made completely of carbon fiber so it could take some time to repair. George. Okay jim, thanks. We have the race for president now. Your voice, your vote and what it takes to get noticed in this already heated race. Mike huckabee stirring up the latest firestorm by suggesting the nuclear deal with iran could cause another holocaust. So many others hitting back hard and tom llamas is here with more. Reporter so far its been a campaign of shock and awe soundbites on the republican side. Many saying there are just some things that are off the table and any comparison to the holocaust is one of them. But when huckabee got a chance to respond, he kept going. Thank you. Reporter this morning, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee the latest republican president ial candidate, grabbing headlines. First comparing president obamas iran policy to the holocaust. Hes so naive he would trust the iranians and he would take the israelis and basically march them to the door of the oven. Reporter then standing his ground monday defending his comments on fox news. Three times ive been to auschwitz. When i talked about the oven door i have stood at that oven door. I know exactly what it looks like. Reporter refusing to apologize. I will not apologize and i will not recant and no one loves israel more. Reporter president obama even weighing in from africa. In 18 months im turning over the keys i want to make sure im turning over the keys to somebody who is serious about the Serious Problems that the country faces and the world faces. Reporter the president saying president ial hopefuls seem to be trying to outtrump trump whos been dominating news cycles and polls. Able pro the worst president in the history of our country. Maybe this issis just an effort to push mr. Trump out of the headlines. But its not the kind of leadership that is needed for america right now. Reporter and were now nine days away from the first republican debate. The top ten candidates from the five most recent National Polls would make the main stage and right now lets take a look. Thats trump, bush walker rubio, paul Cruz Huckabee Carson Christie and perry. Looks like a crowded field but six wont qualify for the main event in thats true and lots and lots to say.

The water is relatively warm. You can survive for quite a few days. Reporter their families now circulating a new flier to boaters and pilots saying we believe the boys made floating devices, noting that life jackets and a cooler were missing from their boat. These two kids have some experience on the water. We hope they had extra personal flotation device certainly that will to live. I think between the two of them they work as a team theyre going to be found and theyre going to be okay. Reporter the teens are trained mariners both licensed to operate vessels on their own. Its part of the lifestyle in jupiter. Whats the earliest age when you took it up. Same age, 14. Reporter 14 you went out on your own . Yes. Reporter but that culture is sparking debate online with some criticizing the boys families for allowing them to go out. Even the coast guard doesnt have age limitations. Lighting up the night sky over jupiter last night with this. This by the way, is the same location where more than 100 came out for that vigil last night.

And some tense moments on the road as a robbery suspect led police on a nearly twohour chase between new jersey and philadelphia of the man speeding through a mall parking lot until finally a state trooper clipped him on this corner flipping the van over. He climbed out of the window but then quickly surrendered. A bizarre case of stolen cash caught on camera. Two workers on their way to filling atms in new jersey say they inadvertently left a bag full of 141,000 in cash right there on that lawn. Then you see later thiefs in a van drive by and pick it up. Police say by the time the workers realized their mistake and they went back the thieves were long gone with the cash and they do not believe this was an inside job. Finally, a race that really turned up the heat. A local gas company dressed kids up as appliances for this race between innings at a baseball game in michigan. Things got off to a rocky start when the oven overheated. Oh minutes later it was the dryer taking a tumble. The water heater thought it had just the right thing to win but the others race back in a big collision. This until he tripped and lost everything to the dryer. Always good to watch. So funny.

Officials say units were on their way to the albuquerque scene but chavez silver passed away. The dispatcher that answered the call for the teen who dreamed about flying in the air force this morning on administrative leave. The department now investigating. Police have not named suspects in the shooting. They believe the teen was not the intended target. Just wrong place, wrong time. As for that 911 operator the local fire chief says they take these allegations very seriously, george. As they should that is tragic. Reena, thanks very much.
