Prayers to everyone in the community. now to california where firefighters are losing ground to the most explosive and destructive wildfire of the season. the so-called valley fire, burning north of san francisco, has exploded in size in just the past 24 hours alone, now spanning 61,000 acres. one person is dead, and four firefighters have been injured battling that blaze. at least 400 homes and businesses have been destroyed. governor jerry brown declared a state of emergency late sunday. >> these are serious fires, people have been killed. hundreds of structures, more than that, actually, ...

People have been killed. hundreds of structures, more than that have been destroyed. more to come. these fires exceed what the computer modeling has been saying. >> more than 11,000 firefighters are battling at least 12 large fires across the state. the valley fire, not too far from these studios in san francisco, now the most destructive blaze in california this year. it forced thousands to evacuate. some people were given just minutes to get away. this stunning video to show you, as well. it shows how out of control the fires have gotten. trees and a treehouse up in flames on the side of a r...

End up exactly where it was found. professor joins us from berth purt australia. how did you make the prediction it would end up where it did. >> well, i think as an oceanographer we know the current around the indian ocean, that would be a prime candidate. but we also did some computer modeling to trace passages of water which are considered to be debris and then we looked at how long, you know, where it would go in the indian ocean and also we said that somewhere between 12 to 18 months the debris would be in the eastern indian ocean. sorry, the western indian ocean. >> all right. you can do...

Perhaps even the track similar to like you see in plane investigations where they piece together the plane in order to get more answers? would that happen here? >> i think what they will probably use is computer modeling both in aircraft investigations trains bridge you know failure, multiple fatality traffic accidents, they use computer modelling to reconstruct and i think probably do that here. the up fortunate thing is the only the persons in the cab of that train will know what hit it -- not exactly what but when something hit that train, if they knew that something hit it and what happene...

That is certainly better than what we have seen. as far as the forecast in the next few hours. temperatures dropping back. getting into, night time here. later on with overnight temperatures. falling back into the low teens. typical for this team of year. get into the mid 20s. in the next. watch the trend here. as far as the rainfall there. we are going to have it. in fact, the next two days by the time we get into the weekend. rainfall chances going down. that is certainly excellent news. by the way, far as landslide. talk about computer modeling. coming out from the opposite here. university...
