to homes north of los angeles. the so-called powerhouse fire exploded over the weekend growing to more than 25,000 acres and it's still far from under control. thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes and our cnn's stephanie elam is live on the fire lines this morning in lake hughs, california. what are you seeing there, stef? >> christine, i have to tell you one thing they are saying about this brush area is that it's really dry. in fact, some areas around here, they haven't burned since 1929. and that is setting up perfect conditions for a fire that continues to grow. >> three, be two, one. >> reporter: by air and land, a full-scale assault on massive wildfires raging out west. more than a thousand firefighters are battling the ferocious powerhouse fire about an hour northeast of los angeles. the unpredictable fire doubled in size over the weekend forcing the mandatory evacuation of nearly 3,000 people and leaving about 1,000 homes in danger.

>> we have 15 homes that were damaged, six were destroyed. >> reporter: but the los angeles county fire department says those numbers could have been worse if not for their around-the-clock air assault. >> we have put everything that we have into this, including night air attack from the forest service, three l.a. county fire helicopters dropping water at night and one l.a. city fire helicopter dropping at night. >> we are the only region in the world that does that. >> reporter: and in new mexico, firefighters are working to contain two raging wildfires fueled by historic drought conditions. the trace lagunas fire has charred more than 7400 acres and forced the evacuation of more than 100 summer homes, some camp grounds and six hiking trails. >> we've had the smoke coming over in years before but it's never been this close and it's never been that big. >> looked like the whole canyon is going to blow up literally. >> the whole canyon is going to blow up and we're going to be screwed.

>> reporter: back in california firefighters hope mother nature will lend a helping hand. >> we're supposed to see a decrease in our winds and increase in relative humidity. >> and as we are standing here and the winds kick up on couso you can see it, this is the issue. they don't want the fire to spread further near other communities because of these winds. if it does, there could be more evacuations. >> parts of those areas haven't burned since 1929. unbelievable, stephanie elam, thanks. from the fires to the relent unpredictable tornadoes. i want you to look at something. watch as a tornado in el reno, oklahoma, pulls this tractor truck backwards, flips it. that is vicious. the tornado so violent it killed at least 16 people, including experienced storm chasers tim samaras and carl young and tim's 24-year-old son paul. tim's death is shocking given his focus on safety and his

decades of experience in the field. meanwhile the search will continue today for six others still missing. among them is an 8-year-old girl. we're joined by ed lavandera in el reno, oklahoma. good morning, ed. >> good morning, john. after all that individuvideo yo shown, that the twister in oklahoma city was not as strong as the tornado that touched down two weeks ago in the town of moore, oklahoma, but that doesn't mean it didn't wreak extreme havoc across this region. >> reporter: the search for six missing people swept away in flash floodwaters will continue monday morning. the bodies of three children and two adults were found sunday. they drowned as they tried to hide in storm drains from friday night's storms. three storm chasers were killed by the ferocious tornado. their car mangled and shredded by the storm's force, found on a back country road. >> that's the roof of the house. >> reporter: around oklahoma city, again people are staring

at their homes in piles of rubble and for dana, it's not the first time. >> when you look at all of that and you look, where in the world do you begin? that's what i keep asking myself? >> if it hadn't been for the other time, you know, i probably would have been more devastated than i am now. but i'm used to it now. >> reporter: he's used to it because as crazy as this might sound just two years ago another tornado destroyed his house. >> do you feel incredibly unlucky? >> sometimes. it's kind of hard to -- kind of hard to take. the more i walk around and look and see the stuff that's scattered everywhere, makes it a little tougher, you know. >> it is hard to take. >> yeah. well i mean, this is basically you're looking at everything i owned. >> reporter: he says the only thing he wants to find is an old picture of his little boy with a cast on his arm running around in daddy's shoes. >> but i'm just afraid it's gone. i don't think that -- i don't think it's possible. as much as it rained, even if it's there, it's more than

likely ruined. >> there's really nothing left, much of anything. >> reporter: the acres of angel's farm is a refuge for abused animals in the town of el reno. angela cares for everything from pigeons to dogs to llamas. one of the llamas was killed. this llama and several horses and donkeys had to be taken to shelters for treatments of wounds but her family lived here in a 117-year-old two-story farmhouse that endured countless oklahoma storms, but not this one. >> it was special because we really had our fingers planted pretty deep in the caring for the animals. it was like a simple country life kind of home. you're away from the city and, you know, i loved it. what made this tornado treacherous on the ground is several times it changed directions and that really caused a lot of chaos,

especially on the roadways as people were struggling and fighting to get out of its way. >> just such a brutal month for oklahoma. thanks so much, ed. and in ed's piece you can see the crumpled wreckage the white car found in the back country roads those are three storm chasers, that was the car they had. they had been featured, work featured on the discovery channel and they were among the victims of the latest oklahoma tornadoes. indra peterson here with more on tim samaras and twistx, highly respected team of storm chasers. so sad. >> hard for the entire science community this weekend. not just chasers. these guys are researchers. so much we don't know out there and they were doing the research, trying to risk their lives to give us a faster warning time. >> reporter: a monster twister that forecasters predicted all week could happen and it did. >> hold on, brothers. hold on. >> reporter: a crew from the weather channel caught in the middle of it. >> everybody duck, go, go, keep it going if you can.

keep going if you can. everybody duck down. >> reporter: watch as a violent tornado sent cars, trucks and everything else in its path flying. the storm so erratic among those killed were veteran storm chasers tim samaras, his 24-year-old son paul samaras and fellow researcher carl young. three men who normally found themselves running toward the storm, rather than away from it, channel show "storm chasers." >> this is tim. can we get an update? >> reporter: samaras explained why to soledad o'brien in 2004. >> why do you want to get so close to tornadoes and do this? >> i plant probes in the path of tornados and in order to get them correctly in the path you have to be close. >> reporter: his team tried to close in on the tornado in what samaras warned about in what became his final tweet. dangerous day for oklahoma. stay weather savvy. >> reporter: other chasers were in harm's way including meteorologist mike bettis and his crew as seen here on the weather channel. >> eventually the camera was

ejected. this is the camera. it never stopped recording. watch it here as you can actually see bettis' truck rolling over and over in the field. >> i just saw my wife's face and i thought, you know, that's, you know, that's my life. i don't want to give that up just yet. and thankfully i don't have to. >> reporter: a fortunate fate bettis' photographer shared as well. he escaped the storm with broken back bones, a broken rib and breast plate, but says he's not done storm chasing. >> there's a lot more to learn about tornadoes and getting out there and seeing them up close firsthand is important because it's -- i think i feel like i'm helping people learn about tornados. >> reporter: a mission he shared with storm chasers tim samaras, paul samaras and carl young, their lifelong passion cut short by a ferocious twister's unpredictable force. >> i just could never think it

would happen to him because of his level of expertise, years of doing this. if i had to have a way for my brother to die, it would be doing what he did. chasing tornadoes. >> the big question is why? why were so many people in the wrong position during friday's tornado? typically tornadoes move in a northeasterly direction. you want to be just south of it, that way the tornado is moving away from you. unfortunately, as you can see, the el reno tornado took a dive to the south. what that did is put people right in the line of the tornado. so when they tried to dive south to get south of it, unfortunately it quickly took a turn right back towards them. there was only a highway north and south, no east and west to allow them to escape. very unusual tornado unfortunately, it can happen, that's why it's so dangerous out there. >> thanks for that. indra, interesting that it took that turn and chasing a tornado and trying to run from it. the deaths of tim samaras and paul samaras and carl young left a large void in the storm chasing world. reid timer knew tim and his team

very well, starred on the discovery channel show with them and remained very close with tim after the show ended. thanks for being here. i'm sure this is not an easy morning for all of you in your professi profession. >> yeah. it seems like it is just a big nightmare. of all people, i never thought it would be tim samaras, someone i've looked up to my whole entire life. he's a genius, a pioneer in our field of science and pressure probes measuring the world record pressure fall inside a tornado and i'm going to miss our random roadside gas station discussions of tornado science. he was always concerned about our safety. when we were intercepting tornadoes and doing our science as well. i know he'll always be looking out for us as we're storm chasing moving forward. it's just really tough. >> it is so hard. you point out what so many have pointed out this morning, tim samaras and his team were known for safety almost before anything else, yet this did

happen to them. are you surprised? >> astonnished. yeah. i don't understand, you know, something must have gone wrong, horribly wrong, and he was trying to do, you know, the science that was his life's work and has saved countless lives in the past and will save countless lives moving forward. future generations of meteorologists will take his work and advance our understanding of tornadoes. i'm just astonnished. the best, most experienced group of storm chasers i know, getting close to tornadoes. >> nevertheless, this is a fairly risky line of work. i have to ask, do you think accident like this, tragedies in some ways like this are inevitable? >> i think they can be avoided, but it's just a freak incident and this tornadoed just had an erratic path that moved

east-southeast and took a sharp turn to the left. i think -- i hope it never happens again. no storm chaser has ever lost their life directly from storm chasing before. but this is a weird storm. it was a very powerful tornado and had an erratic path, as we said, and someone like tim, i just never saw it coming. i can't believe -- >> are you going to chase storms differently? do you think people in your profession, you're going to be a little more cautious next time? >> i hope that people are, especially the amateur storm chasers out there that are trying to get the up close individual and everything, i hope that, you know, they don't get in the path of a violent tornado like this. if someone like tim, so experienced, can get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time and get in trouble, still doesn't make sense to me that this happened, and such a nice guy, such a great friend and a genius scientist and we lost a

pioneer in our field for sure. >> reed timer, sorry for the loss of your friend. appreciate you being with us to tell us about him this morning? >> his friend and his 24-year-old son and another colleague, three in that tragedy. ahead on "starting point" a 19-year-old sent over a 600-foot waterfall in california's yosemite national park. there it is. could anyone survive that kind of fall? we'll go live to the site of the scene of the search this morning. >> she stunned the world when she announced her elective double mastectomy. is she happy with the reaction she's received? angelina jolie returns to the red carpet and answers that question and more.

the irs controversy front and center on capitol hill today. this afternoon acting irs commissioner daniel werfel testifies before a house committee about the agency's targets of tea party groups and tomorrow morning members of

those groups who claimed they were victimized, they will testify publicly for the first time. cnn's dan lothian is live at the white house this morning, and dan, california's republican congressman darrell issa, added fuel to the fire this weekend. >> that's right. he really did. representative issa is a fierce critic of this administration. he believes the irs controversy runs much deeper, that based on interviews the trail comes right back here to washington and even took a swipe at white house spokesman jay carney. >> reporter: for the first time we're hearing what irs workers in cincinnati are telling congressional investigators about why they targeted conservative groups. republican darrell issa in an exclusive interview on cnn's "state of the union". >> as late as last week the administration still trying to say there's a few rogue agents in cincinnati when, in fact, the indication was they were directly being ordered from washington. >> reporter: issa released just partial transcripts, citing an ongoing investigation, so the full context isn't clear.

in one excerpt, one worker quotes a supervisor, he told me that washington, d.c., wanted some cases and when asked about targeting tea party applications and whether those directions emanated from washington, the worker replies, quote, i believe so. >> i believe so. it's totally not definitive. as you understand. >> that one isn't. >> right. >> reporter: elijah cummings, the top democrat on issa's house oversight committee, called his claims, quote, reckless saying sfar no witnesses who have appeared before the committee have identified any irs official in washington, d.c. issa says more interviews and transcripts are coming. >> this is a problem that was coordinated in all likelihood right out of washington head quarters and we're getting to proving it. >> reporter: but two democratic sources involved complain issa released the transcripts excerpts before making them available to democrats in what they say is supposed to be a bipartisan investigation. the sources tell cnn the excerpts are taken out of

context and issa's claim they indicate direction from washington is misleading. they say their impression was the workers were talking about consulting with tax attorney specialists in washington, about how much political activity is acceptable for tax exempt status. >> to the left. three, four. >> reporter: issa is also going after irs spending, saying the agency wasted $50,000 on training videos like this newly released kupid love shuffle. >> i'm receiving incoming reports from the landing party. >> reporter: on a notorious "star trek" spoof the video shown at one of 225 irs conferences between 2010 and 2012 costing $50 million, including $17,000 for a speaker on leadership through art at a 2010 conference in anaheim. where issa says one high-ranking irs worker stayed in the hilton anaheim's two-bedroom presidential suite that normally runs $1500 a night.

representative issa also had some sharp word for white house spokesman jay carney referring to him as, quote, their paid liar, accusing him of making up things about what happened at the irs. white house spokesman carney had no comment. john? >> and this is monday. not going to get more friendly as this week goes on. >> exactly. >> dan lothian at the white house, thanks so much. ahead on "starting point" the search for a teen that fell over a 600-foot waterfall while swimming at yosemite national park. park officials not optimistic about his odds of surviving a fall like that. we'll go live to yosemite.

you know, pristine beauty spot for people, but this young man got himself in some serious trouble. the falls that he went to, he was with a church group out of sacramento. they hiked up about three miles to these falls. it gets very warm here during the day, up into the 80s and after a hike that long, perhaps he wanted to go for a swim and cool down a little bit. but rangers here on the scene saying they don't leave a lot of hope that he survived that fall. >> where he was swimming, is swimming permitted there? s that has this started any discussion about whether maybe it should be banned? >> no, it's not permitted there. there are signs posted at this area. it's close to this enormous fall. it's 600 feet. the water is rushing very fast, even though we haven't had a big snow pack this year, it is still the spring runoff is. the water is racing down, you know, the slopes there and to be

150 feet or so from the precipes of that waterfall just too fast. even though it looks placid on the top once you go in the current will grab you and take you right down and that's essentially what the rescuers believe happened. they put out helicopters, search dogs and dozens of rescuers on day one. now they believe it's just a recovery mission. they're going to have videohave individuals along the riverbed looking for the remains of this young man. >> there are so many dangerous places there. clearly marked usually by what you should and shouldn't do. miguel marquez at yosemite for us, thanks so much. ahead on "starting point" a mother's desperate plea to save her 10-year-old daughter who needs a life-saving lung transplant. she says the government is leaving her daughter to die and she only has one option left to save her little girl. her story coming up.

fear that sarah is being left to die. jason carroll here with this heartbreaking story. >> it is a story as we were talking about, a story about parents trying to do everything they possibly can to try to save their little girl. and with each passing day, sarah murnaghan's lungs keep getting weaker and weaker. she is suffering from cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder that affects the lungs. murnaghan desperately needs the lung transplant. the 10-year-old is at the top of the list for receiving lungs

from another child but she has been waiting for 18 months and time is running out. right now, federal guidelines prevent sarah from getting priority on the adult donor list. her parents say the government should change those guidelines. her parents say she has the power to make the change. on friday she e-mailed sarah's parents saying she does not have the authority. the e-mail says i know that this is not the answer you were hoping to hear -- to receive and i can't begin to imagine how difficult the situation is. my prayers are with you. sarah says she's never going quit. she compared her lung disease to a boat filling with sand and what she has missed the most since being in the hospital.

>> she's a tough girl. sebelius will order a transplant policy review. so pleased to have you come here and sort of tell us this story. tell us how is sarah doing this morning. >> she had a bit of a rough day.

thank you for having me. she had a bit of a rough day yesterday. her co2 carbon dioxide levels popped up again yesterday. but last night she looked pretty good right before bed after we had gotten her fevers under control and she had a restful night. >> you're doing this waiting game so many families do when waiting on an organ donation list and waiting. every morn you wake up and pray or you hope or you hope that today is going to be the day you get that call. it could happen today but for 18 months, you've been waiting for that call? >> for 18 months we've been waiting and praying and the call hasn't come. what we've learned is the odds are really stacked against young children like sarah. >> you've started a petition on the website change.org to try to change these rules. >> yes. >> and have something work out for sarah. let me read you what since

giving an advantage one patient may unduly disadvantage others. how do you respond to that statement? >> i would respond that we're not asking for an exception for sarah. we're asking for all children to be treated equal lly and fairly. children are dying at almost three times the rate of adults waiting on that transplant list. almost three times the rate. they are not being treated fairly or equally. it's unjust. it's not within the constitution. my child's civil rights are being violated. >> but medical professionals -- tell me why they say adult lung transplant is a different than a child to child. it is more difficult and doesn't have the same success. >> well, it is a more difficult surgery for the surgeons.

but our surgeons at the children's hospital in philadelphia assure us their outcomes are as good as the transplants with children. that there is no difference in the two year survival rate for children who receive partial adult versus children who receive pediatric lungs. that this wall is -- sorry, go ahead. >> finish your thought. >> that this law is outdated. maybe back in 2000, 2005, this wasn't the case. but today the case is that children can be as successful. and there are 2,000 adult lungs a year and there are 20 children you lungs a year. >> given the law is what it is, what are the best chances for sarah to get a lung? >> our first appeal is to the american people and to anyone out there who is in just a gut wrenching position of losing a loved one and making that beautiful gift of life that they consider making a direct donation to sarah.

this can supersede this policy. and secondly, i'd just like to say that we have hired counsel and we have sent a letter to secretary sebelius stating for her why this is in the scope of her ability to change this you law for all of the children rather than let them wait and die. >> we certainly hope -- best of luck and give our prayers to sarah. and please -- >> thank you, god bless you. >> keep us posted and maybe that call will come today. >> 56 after the hour. ahead, thousands of people forced to flee their homes as this unpredictable and fast growing wildfire is scorching southern california. we will go live to the fire line and then no relief for oklahoma. as the tornadoes pound that state. get a look at this video of this semi-truck getting flipped by a twister. everybody has different investment objectives,

our "starting point," this dangerous wildfire forcing thousands from their hopes and tripled this size. can fire crews contain this out of control blaze. >> and images prove there is nothing a tornado can't destroy. a semitrailer flipped like it's a toy truck. we head to oklahoma where another tornado outbreak. and a swimmer swept over a waterfall in yosemite. is there any chance he could have survived? we'll head to the scene of the search. >> and look at this cheerios. a growing controversy this morning. >> it's monday, june 3rd. welcome to "starting point". this morning california burning. a wildfire north of los angeles growing to 25,000 acres. still largely out of control. the so-called powerhouse fire has destroyed at least six hopes, thousands of people still

in harm's way. they have been told to evacuate. stephanie elam is at the fire lines. are crews having much success at this hour fighting the fire? >> reporter: well, since this fire started on thursday evening, firefighters have been out here actually digging in and also attacking it by the air. but take a look at this flare-up here. this is exactly what firefighters are keeping their eyes on so that this fire doesn't spread further. they're taking care of knocking the hot spots out. >> three, two, one. >> reporter: by air and land, a full scale assault of massive wild fires. more than 1,000 are battling the ferocious powerhouse fire. it doubled in size over the weekend forcing the mandatory evacuation of nearly 3,000 people and leaving about 1,000 homes in danger. >> we have 15 homes that were

damaged, six destroyed. >> reporter: but the los angeles fire department says those numbers could have been worse if not for their around the clock air assault. >> we have put everything that we have into this, including night air attack from the forest service, three l.a. county fire helicopters dropping water at night and one l.a. city fire helicopter dropping at night. >> we are the only region in the world that does that. >> reporter: and in new mexico, firefighters are working to contain two raging wildfires fueled by historic drought conditions. it's charge more than 7400 acres and forced the evacuation of more than 100 summer homes, some campgrounds and six hiking trails. >> we've had the smoke coming over in years before, but never this close. and it's never been that big. >> looked like the local canyon will blow up literally. we'll be screwed. >> reporter: back in california, firefighters hope mother nature will lend a helping hand.

>> we're supposed to see a decreasen our winds as well as an increase of relative humidity. >> reporter: as the morning light is just starting to crest, there are people hoping they can come home today that have been evacuated. but fire officials say it may be tomorrow before they're able to come home. >> stephanie elam, thank you so much. and to the relentless unpredictable tornados, we're getting a better idea of how powerful they are. watch as a tornado in el reno, oklahoma pulls this truck just all the way backward and flips it over. also this tornado was so violent, it killed at least 16 people, including experienced storm chaserses tim samaras, carl young and tim's 24-year-old son, paul. tim's death is especially shocking given his focus on safety in his deck adds of experience storm chasing. meanwhile the search is continuing today for six others who are still missing and among the missing is an 8-year-old

girl. ed lavendera is in el reno. >> reporter: good morning. that search for those missing people is just now resuming here in the city of oklahoma city and that search will continue. they tried throughout most of the day yesterday. these railroad families that on friday night were trying to escape from the violence of the storm as objects and debris was swirling around them. and they apparently from what we're told by rescue teams is that they jumped into storm drains to escape from all that, but what the storm also brought was heavy down pours causing flash flooding in many areas and authorities say that several people were washed away. they found the bodies of five yesterday including three children. there are still six others missing and that search just now getting under way again for another day. >> and what are people saying what it's been like the last couple of days? these storms have been relentless. >> reporter: it's been interesting, when you talk to people, you get that

overwhelming sense that they have over the last couple of weeks going back to not just the moore oklahoma tornado but even before then, that this has been a tornado season that they will never forget. they're used to rough tornado seasons, but many people say it has just been unnerving for so many weeks. seems like every day or every other day there are tornado warnings and it has a lot of people on edge. and they can't wait it for all of this to finally come to an end for this tornado season. >> we hope it ends soon. ed lavendera, thanks so much. and three well-known storm chasers are among the victims of the latest oklahoma tornadoes. tim samaras and his team used to appear regularly on the discovery channel. indra petersons -- wow, our own weather event actually in the studio. some lighting trouble. so let's talk a little bit about what happened here. these three respected storm chasers lost their lives. >> yeah, these are seasoned

chasers. and there is so much we still don't know about tornados. they were out will doing great breaking research trying to find out more to save our lives. very terrible. >> reporter: a monster twister that forecasters predicted all week could happen and it did. a crew from the weather channel caught in the middle of it. >> everybody go, go. keep going if you can. everybody duck down. >> reporter: watch as a violent tornado sent cars, trucks and everything else in its path flying. the storm so erratic that among those killed were veteran storm chasers tim samaras, his 24-year-old son paul, and fellow tornado researcher carl young. three men who normally found themselves running toward the storm rather than away from it as seen here in the discovery channel show storm chasers. samaras explained why to cnn soledad o'brien in 2004.

>> why do you you want to get so close to tornadoes and do this? >> i plant probes in the paths of tornadoes and in order to get them correctly in the path, you have to be close. >> reporter: his team tried to close in on the tornado that samaras warned about in his final tweet. dangerous day ahead for oklahoma. stay weather savvy. others were in harms way including mike bettes and will his crew as seen here on the weather channel. >> eventually the camera was ejected. this is the camera. it never stopped recording. watch it here as you can actually see bettes' truck rolling over and over in the field. >> i just saw my wife's face and i thought, you know, that's my life. i don't want to give that up just yet. and thankfully i don't have to. >> reporter: a fortunate fate bettes' photographer austin anderson shared, as well. he escaped the storm with broken backbones, a broken rib and breast plate. but says he's not done storm

chasing. >> there's a lot more to learn about tornados and getting out there and seeing them up close firsthand is important because i think i feel like i'm helping people learn about tornados. >> reporter: a mission he shared with storm chasers tim samaras, paul samaras and carl young. their life long passion cut short by a ferocious predictabl. >> he had a level of expertise, years of doing this. if i had to have a way for my brother to die, it would be doing what he did. chasing tornadoes. >> so the question everyone keeps asking is why. now, typically tornadoes move at a northeasterly direction. so atypical this one went down to the south, so they tried to get south of it and it turned right back at them. very erratic behavior. >> and deadly. indra, thank you so much. the surprising death of tim, paul and carl has left the world

of storm chasers stunned. many wondering how this could have happened. we'll bring in someone who knew tim and carl well. tyler has been chasing storms since 1998, full-time since 2004. thank you for being here this morning. this can't be an easy thing to talk about. >> no, i mean, it's just a shock. and like everybody keeps saying, tim samaras was the -- safety was his thing. he was the safest, he knew storms well. they had really good plans. they weren't out there doing any kind of haphazard kind evof thi. her they were doing real research. if somebody told me a storm chaser got killed, no way i i would have ever thought that this group would have been it because of their level of just pre-planning, safety, and everything. it has everybody so shocked.

>> if the message then if it can happen to tim and his group given how safe they are, if this could happen to then, could it really happen to anyone? is this business simply too dangerous? >> it's dangerous, but this is the first time this has happened. there have been storm chasers killed in auto accidents. you drive you thousathousands o that tends to happen. but this is the first time this has happened and i'm sure we'll learn a lot from it. hopefully do a little soul searching, try to figure out what we need to do to try to stay safer out there. but this storm was the most erratic storm, you couldn't stay up with it. we get radar updates every five minutes. and in five minutes, this thing changed so much. >> and the path was so erratic.

you're trained professionals. you know better than anyone how to stay ahead of and stay safe but still get close to the storms. we live in the social media culture where people have apps on the phones showing them how to gets a close as possible. what is the message there, is there a message for the public who like to daredevil on this stuff? >> stay away from it. it's not worth. if you're not trained, there is no need to have 650 shots of a different angle of the tornado anymore. it used to be you'd get out there, you'd get these shots, you report it to the weather service and you save lives. but one person can do that. you don't need thousands of people around each storm. and if you don't know what you're doing, if it can happen to tim samaras, it can certainly happen to somebody who just started yesterday using their iphone app or phone app to try

to gist follow radar and find a tornado. and it's just not -- it's not safe to do that unless you have the proper training, experience and learn from somebody that has done it for years. >> eyel >> tyler, thanks for dropping by and giving us your perspective. thank you. >> there are definitely too many people out there with cameras who don't tho know what they're doing. tim and his crew were not among those people. they knew what her doing. they were always very, very safe. just a tragedy. 12 after the hour. ahead on "starting point," so was the white house involved in the irs targeting of tea party groups some today lawmakers begin hearing testimony from all sides. we'll have a live report just ahead. and rescuers hoping to find a teen swept over a nearly 600 foot waterfall in yosemite national park. could he have survived that fall? la's known definitely for its traffic,

>> developing in turkey this hour, riot police fired tear gas at hundreds of protesters despite a call would i their prime minister that people remain calm, this is the fourth day in a row of violence. what began as a peaceful sit in against plans to demolish a park in istanbul has ballooned into a nationwide rprotest against the prime minister's policies. ivan watson joins us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. these are the biggest and most sustained protests against this government that this country has seen in more than ten years. in the square behind me which is the turkish equivalent of types square in istanbul, the demonstrators remain in control of it, they have set up barricades around the square. after the police retreated and

abandoned the square after more than 36 hours of fighting on saturday. istanbul is mostly calm right now, but the fighting is raging not far from where i'm standing in the pre-dawn hours as angry demonstrators were trying to attack the istanbul office of the turkish prime minister. he flew off to an official tour of several north african countries today. before leaving he gave a speech to the media basically accusing the demonstrators of being vandals and members of extreme i. gro ist groups and challenging them saying let's settle it at the elections ten months from now. that is the heated receipt tore rec that is probably not going to calm the anger of this spontaneous explosion of anger that we've seen in the streets of istanbul and other cities over the past four days.

back to you. >> all right, ivan watson, thanks. and of course we watch so closely what is happening there because it is a democracy that has been stable and a reliable partner for the u.s.. so obviously watching what's beeni inin ining happening. here at home, a national park nightmare. the search continues this morning for 11-year-old who was swept over a waterfall. park rangers believe it is impossible to survive the 600-foot drop. miguel marquez live at yosemite for us this morning. what's going on there? >> reporter: well, as you know, this place is an absolute wonderland of nature. yosemite falls right here, which is just stunning to be here in the morning to see this. and as far as beautiful as it is here, it is also incredibly dangerous. he was about three miles up on a hike near a different set of falls.

he went swimming. there are signs posted there that say that it is dangerous to swim there because you are very close to the precipice of the falls. and he apparently went anyway. the authorities say that he swam out to a rock in the center of the stream. when he tried to swim back, that's when he got caught up. >> he actually got swept away in the current and unfortunately, got swept downstream and over the waterfall. nevada fall is a 600-foot waterfall and we do believe it is impossible to survive a fall like that. >> reporter: now, they launched everything, helicopters, dogs and dozens of rescuers as soon as he went over those falls. but now they believe that they're peeling a lot of that back, they believe it's almost impossible for him to have survived. they are now searching along the river bed hoping to find his remains. but he was with a church group. it is summertime. he was young. there was a lot of people out

there. and it is a very good warning for people out in the nature this summer. >> we're looking just at simple beautiful images behind you there at yosemite. anyone who has been to yosemite knows there are warnings posted everywhere to be careful in situations like this. but after a tragedy like the event that we just witnessed here in yosemite, any sense that they will try to tighten the restrictions even more? >> reporter: they say there are lots of postings exactly where he was swimming. it's a long way up there will. it does get hot here during the day. he may have just wanted to cool down. but it is deceptive. that water may look calm on top, but once you're in it, it can sweep you. >> miguel, thank you so much. a cloud of smoke in los angeles this morning. the powerhouse fire exploding in size over the weekend. and taking homes with it.

and they talked to me, it was clearly an emotional event. hundreds of photographers and thousands of applauding fans greeted angelina jolie for her return to the red carpet. >> i feel great. i feel wonderful. i'm very grateful for all the support. >> reporter: ang lelina disappo. she was on hand to support brad at the premiere of his zombie movie world war z. it was angelina's first red carpet appearance since she announced that she'd had a preventive double mastectomy. the mother of six was at times emotional. >> i get moved to talk about it, yes. >> reporter: it was her decision after testing process for the gene mutation which increased her risk for breast and ovarian

cancer. >> ever since angelina jolie announced that she had a double mastectomy, everyone was wondering what would she look like and when she appeared on the carpet with brad pitt, she looked absolutely stunning. >> reporter: she has become an ib spir rag inspiration to mill. >> i've been happy to see the discussion about women's health expanded and that means the world to me. and after losing my mom to these issue, i'm very grateful for it. >> reporter: angelina's biggest fan says he is thankful to have his fiance healthy and happy by his side. >> it's actually a heroic decision to undertake that and share it with others. because she realizes that this is not available for everyone and it should be. >> reporter: because angelina was this london supporting brad, she was not able to attend her aunt's funeral. debbie martin who also tested positive for the brca gene passed away last week from breast cancer. it's reported that angelina is

for several months, but she said really after a couple of months, she did did feel like herself again. >> what about the future what issues she might face. the surgery is over, what comes next? >> what comes next is she actually mentioned that she'll have her ovaries removed. and this is standard in this situation because having this bad brca gene puts her at risk for also getting ovarian cancer. which of course is what killed her mother. that's a simpler procedure in many ways. the recovery is quicker, but it does put in you to menopause. so that's something women have to think about how they will handle. now, as far as the long term complications from the breast surgery, usually there aren't any. sometimes the implants don't do what they're supposed to do and theres have to go back in, but usually it does go well. >> what angelina jolie has accomplished is making the discussion so public. what can other women take away or learn from what she's been

through? >> well, women can learn that they need to be empowered patients. if you have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, should you know that family history and do something about it. i've talked to women who were just scared, just too scared to do anything. don't be scared into a paralysis. go to a genetic counselor or doctor who specializes in this and ask if genetic testing is right for you. because that then gives you the tools to make a decision about whether you want to have this surgery or not. ahead, this pennsylvania mother tells us how a change to an organ donor policy could save her daughter's life. >> and the maker of cheerios has a new ad some are praising, but others surprisingly say they're offended by it. we'll play you the ad.

a key democrat says he's confident immigration reform legislation will pass in the senate. chuck schumer is a member of the bipartisan gang of eight working on this bill. he says it will come to the floor next week and predicts it will pass by fourth of july with gop support. but the big faces deep resistance in the republican controlled house. the supreme court finishing up its remaining caseload. you're looking at a live picture of the supreme court where justices will meet today and for the next three mondays to announce their rulings. 28 cases awaiting opinions including a few really high profile decisions on affirmative action, same-sex marriage, voting rights and also human gene patents. oscar pistorius is due back in court tomorrow. he's facing murder charges in the death of his girlfriend model riva steveeva steenkamp. he's been keeping a low profile. his lawyers want to know how graphic crime scene photos wound

up being broadcast last week on britain's sky news. so it's a serial oig that barely needs anyrrios is a hous. but a new ad is serving up controversy. >> mom, dad tolded me cherrios is good for your heart. is that true? >> it says cherrios has whole grain oats. and those are healthy. >> we're laughing p. it's kind of goofy. what has caused a stir some it seems the use of an interracial family has everyone talking and even some people upset. some saying it's an important step, others posting comments

that got so bad cherrios had to shut the comments down. we want to talk about it with nancy giles. thank you so much for being with us. >> it's a pleasure. >> is this ad ground breaking? >> i guess it is because you still don't see too many interracial families on television. i think there was a series actually years ago fox tried to do a series with an interracial couple when they first started that ended up off the air pretty quickly. but it's just a beautiful family. and the kid is so cute. and the clear yherrios are so c. i love seeing it, but i don't think there is really -- there should be this controversy. >> so you have this tag line at the end called love and you've seen some of their other love ads like a big baby just eating cheerios. but then they pit it on youtube and people were nasty. >> people are horrible. >> comments were nasty. >> people can be horrible.

i think with social media, there is some level of anonymity. people don't think that they will be seen as themselves. and it lets free this kind of horrible, horrible remark making like the old slam books where you used to write in and nonwould would know it was you and people say the most awful things. >> i was asking if it was ground breaking because there was an interracial couple in the jeffersons which was a long time ago. we have a president who is by racial. >> really? are you serious? >> we've come a fairly long way? are you serious? >> we've come a fairly long way. but you were not surprised by the reaction. >> because we have a president that is black and white, it's brought out a lot of bizarre behavior in people. it's a clear symbol that the country's changing. and the demographics of the country are changing. and people who are of different faiths sometimes fall in love, different colors.

sometimes you have families where there are two mommies and two daddies. and there are people who can't take that. they still want to hold on to the way things were. and change just happens. that's just how life is. and look at that beautiful kid. >> she's so cute. so 19,000 people gave the video a thumbs up. 1300 gave it a thups dow thumbs. so general mills said that it was surprised that this had become a news story. this is what the associate market director said. our actors reflect so many families across america that we are actually a little surprised to see the ad become a story on its own. multicultural families are everywhere including on television. so the attention this received is somewhat surprising. >> when you have a bunch of vicious, vicious remarks by people, and as you were saying earlier, these days the comments to anything that is posted almost become the story as much as the thing itself. and people felt perfectly fine

to just let it rip and say the most racist bigoted backwards kind of things about this lovely couple. and i agree with general mills, there are a lot of couples that look that way. >> general mills is in the business of selling cherrios. do you think they did that to get that extra bit of publicity? >> it's possible. a lot of people are talking about. but in the end, if you're a little kid and you love cherrios, you know how many times you see kids having tell ter tantrums in the cereal aisle. i can't imagine a family saying we're not buying them because they have a white mother and black father. i think in the end it will keep selling. >> thank you so much. great to talk to you. "starting point" back in a moment. bly anyone else. we've had this farm for 30 years. we raise black and red angus cattle. we also produce natural gas. that's how we make our living and that's how we can pass the land and water back to future generations.
