>> our thoughts and our prayers are with those wives and children and moms and dads. thanks, anna. >> four little children left behind in that one family. take a look at this. it is time lapse video. it shows the terrifying scale and the speed of that deadly wildfire possibly offering maybe an explanation as to why those 19 fire fighters could not get out in time. >> for more on that, let's head over to maria molina. good morning, maria. >> good morning. you heard anna mention they did have to use fire shelters, something used as a last resort by these elite fire fighters that unfortunately were lost. it's a heartbreaking story. the elite hot shot crews actually trained to respond to fires in remote regions with little or no logistical support. right here on basically this graphic you can see how they are supposed to work. that green is the fire tarp or the shelter they are supposed to be seeking. this is supposed to protect them from fires.

there have been reports this is maybe about 50% accurate. the way it works is by reflecting radiant heat and reduces convectant heat and allow them to breathe to make it through the wildfire. over the next few days we expect more fires, more thunderstorms. we believe the way this fire started was by lightning sparking it. saturday, a chance for more thunderstorms. temperatures remaining very hot into the 90's. high temperatures across surrounding areas in arizona, parts of utah, all the way into montana into the hot temperatures. across parts of the east coast we actually have the opposite situation where across the west we need the moisture, we need the rainfall. in the east we actually have a number of flood advisories and watches in effect from parts of vermont all the way down into parts of georgia.

spying allegations against the n.s.a. leaker. >> wherever there is intelligence service, here's one thing they're going to be doing. trying to understand the world better and what's going on in world capitals around the world. >> that's also the spying allegations against the united states which of course edward snowden's documents reveal that the united states has been spying on about 38 u.s. embassies, rather, of foreign countries particularly the e. ufpl. reuters is reporting that a kremlin spokesman says snowden withdrew his request for asylum in russia after putin said he would have to give up anti-american activities before being granted asylum. we're still waiting for independent confirmation of that particular story. >> thank you so much. it could be bad news for players like alex rodriguez and ryan brawn. tmz reports major leak

for the spike is last year's summer drought which seems to be affecting prices this year more than last year. there are a few ways to get your grill on without breaking the bank. one, when you see a good sale, stock up on meat and freeze it for later use. family size packs offer a discount. take on more of the prep work by buying a whole chicken and cutting it yourself rather than buying the boneless, skinless chicken breast. lastly, you can switch to pork. the usda says that is the one meat priced well below where it was last year. pork for everyone. >> thanks, diane. still ahead, they are touted as helping to keep the environment clean, but a new study find those electric cars are right on par with gas-powered cars. >> do you think you found a good deal for your summer vacation flight? think again. our travel expert explains how airlines are still

you're booking on spirit. >> spirit usually really great, economical. $432 was the base fare i saw on-line for that same new york to dallas flight. one checked bag, that is $45. a carry-on bag is $50 each way. they charge for carry-on bag if it doesn't fit under your seat. factor in a couple of snacks, an extra $200 on that base fare $632. >> jetblue. >> new york to dallas $558 the base fare. free checked bags, free snacks still $558. depending on what kind of traveler you are, you can pick -- >> we can compare all three and so it turns out if you don't have to check a bag and all that stuff, jetblue in fact is the least?
