7:06 am
two days ago it was complete uncontrolled chaos. we were kind of in a once in a lifetime position. we wanted to check out something that wasn't going to be a huge magnitude. >> wreaking havoc for that entire city, incredible video. >> and this is why they tell people to stay away from the fires. >> exactly, exactly. and some good news, calmer winds and cooler temperatures are helping firefighters. but will the weather continue to cooperate? meteorologist erika martin has the latest on conditions in the fire zone. good morning. >> the good news, yes, we have cooler temperatures in store, we do have that onshore flow, so we're seeing conditions much cooler temperatures than the past couple of days. the expected high in los angeles today is 82. we're seeing calming winds. more importantly, these gusts do have a lot of associated moisture, so not as dry, so temperatures 10 degrees to 20

7:10 am
abc news has learned that embattled secretary shinseki asked the undersecretary petzel to resign on friday despite his stepping down was a part of a planned retirement. a number of va hospitals are accused of falsifying employment records and there are allegations up to 40 veterans died awaiting treatment at a phoenix va hospital. general motors has agreed to pay a record fine. for delaying the recall of millions of cars. general motors will pay $35 million for failing to disclosing switch problems in a timely manner. recalls have cost the company $1.5 billion and counting. today marks the 16th anniversary of the landmark supreme court decision, brown versus topeka, kansas, board of education. the 1954 ruling declared segregated schools to be unconstitutional and marked a major turning point in the civil rights movement. first lady michelle obama spoke to seniors at topeka high school.
7:11 am
mrs. obama initially planned to speak during the graduation ceremony today. but those plans were scraped after protests. and in washington state, police say that a 68-year-old woman accidentally drove her suv into her own house, killing her husband inside, and the couple's daughter and son-in-law were also seriously injured. the vehicle plowed right through the house and ended up in a lake behind that house. the driver, though, wasn't injured. and less than a week after being drafted, michael sam hit the football field for the first time as a pro, along with his st. louis rams teammates, wearing number 96. the league's first openly gay player joined 24 of his fellow rookies. meanwhile, planned documentary by the oprah winfrey network about sam's first year has now been postponed.
7:12 am
and the sign of small town of tipton, iowa, reads where dreams happen. they're looking for two powerball winners from tipton, one bought a ticket worth a million bucks. the other, only $10,000. sold back in january. officials say that the odds or likelihood of a small town of 3200 residents having two winners is pretty much unheard of. if no one claims the prize the money goes back into the lottery pool. which would be very unfortunate. and finally, a remarkable find in argentina. you're looking at the bones of what may be the largest creature ever to walk the earth. ever. based on the size of the animal's thigh bone. they believe that the dinosaur was 65 feet tall and 130 feet long when it roamed the earth. reer is eveners said that
7:13 am
the dinosaur weighed about 77 tons. that's about 14 elephants. or it's about 1,000 dan harrises. [ laughter ] >> based on the age. >> is that a good thing or a bad thing? >> it's very, very heavy. >> i knew this story was going to go wrong for me. >> this is what is known as a hervibore. >> there you go. >> imagine what would happen if there were a 1,000 of me. >> oh, lord, help us. help us. >> okay, dr. harris, thank you. we have a real doctor, health news now, new research showing eating two large meals a day and not six smaller ones may be the best way for diabetics to control their blood sugar levels. >> we have a real doctor here, so let's bring in abc's dr. richard besser.
7:14 am
tell us about this study. >> can diet be used to control type ii diabetes? this is a small study out of the czech republic. 54 people for half the study they had two large meals a day. for the other half of this study they had six smaller meals. a day. same number of calories across the board. when they were having two large meals a day, they lost more weight and their blood sugar was better controlled. >> so, do you recommend limiting their food intake to two meals a day? >> i wouldn't, based on this one study. the other thing here they were having breakfast and lunch. for us culturally, dinner is the time where we all get together. but it does say work with your doctor on what kind of food does best for you with controlling your diabetes. >> let me get you to expand on that a little bit. we have so many people in this country with diabetes, what is your advice to them for managing their diet? >> well, you know, the prediction is that, by 2050, 1 in 3 adults is going to have diabetes.
7:15 am
but we can turn the tide on that, the biggest risk factor is being overweight or obese. but, it doesn't take a big weight loss to change that around. if you can lose 5% of your body weight, if you weigh 200 pounds, that's only ten pounds, it cuts your risk of diabetes by more than half. by more than half. small changes there can help turn that curve. >> the sooner you start, the better. >> that's right. people with mild diabetes, just starting some exercise may be enough to control the blood sugar. >> hopeful note, rich, thank you. you hear a noise in the backyard. you step outside to check it out and imagine you discover this -- a gator in your pool. that's what happened to a family in florida and abc's michelle franzen is here with the story. michelle, good morning. >> good morning. gators are a part of everyday life in florida. but for this couple in florida a surprise run-in with one that made himself at home was too close for comfort. talk about a rude awakening.
7:16 am
sharon bente got the shock of her life while investigating a loud noise at her bradenton, florida, home. >> i saw something that's not usually in the pool and it turned out to be an eight-foot alligator. >> reporter: an eight-foot alligator. this guy, taking a dip in the family pool next to the floatie. but, there was nothing fun about this pool crasher. bente said her instincts kicked in. >> can i get back to the door without it seeing me? >> reporter: bente's husband said the gator tore his way through the screen leaving a gaping hole in the enclosed patio. the reptile enjoyed his freestyle swim until the couple called police. >> and he was just swimming around in circles. he tried to get up here for a while. i think he was a little intimidated with everybody watching, too. >> reporter: ultimately it took a trained alligator trapper to remove the trespasser. >> it was quite an evening. quite an evening. >> reporter: an evening the
7:17 am
couple hopes is a one-time run-in. >> i'm going to be sleeping with at least one eye open for a while. >> now the couple has to make a few repairs to the screen surrounding the pool -- a small price to pay, they say, after this close encounter. as for the gator, it was transported to a gator farm. >> good. we were worried about that. the floatie is okay? >> we got word that the floatie is okay in the pool. >> lot of urgent updates. >> i would have panicked. michelle, thank you. well, now, to a survival story that can only be called miraculous, a young man in a coma for two months with doctors giving up hope that he could ever wake up. his parents even contemplating organ donation. now, two years later, he has a bright future ahead of him and he says everyone can learn from this experience. sara has this story. >> reporter: the dreaded phone call that your son has been in a car accident and then facing the decision of whether to turn off life support because he probably won't make it.
7:18 am
well, he did. and now, sam schmid is not only surviving, but thriving. watching 23-year-old sam schmid play basketball, you would have no idea that just two years ago doctors didn't expect him to survive. >> odds of him making it were very slim. >> reporter: in october 2011, a horrible five-car pileup in tucson, arizona, sam schmid was among the injured. he was airlifted to an institute in phoenix. in a deep coma, two months later, just as the staff was about to take him off life support, sam's neurosurgeon said he had a hunch. >> i said let's get one more mri scan. >> reporter: when the scan came back, it showed sam was not brain-dead. he delivered the news to sam's mom. that night, everything changed. sam wiggled two fingers on command. >> it was a miracle.
7:19 am
>> reporter: soon, he was getting around in a wheelchair and even talking. >> in the beginning, when he started the program, he was working on fundamentals. he was working on being able to walk, swallow. >> there you go. >> reporter: and here is sam today, after two years of grueling physical, speech and occupational therapy. >> the first thing i do remember is waking up in rehab and wondering where i was. >> reporter: now, he's enrolled in college classes and hoping to be a veterinary tech. he credits his surgeons and perseverance even against the odds. >> it's not so much that i was lucky that i had such a remarkable recovery, it's that i worked for this remarkable recovery. giving it your best shot. >> and one thing sam said, in addition to crediting his surgeon, he said that it was perseverance because he worked hard through the whole thing. he's still working hard.
7:20 am
everything he does, from lifting a pencil to talking, everything is a gift now. >> we're all happy with this story. >> thank you, sara. let's get a look at the national forecast now. meteorologist erika martin joining us from wtnh in new haven. >> conditions today for the eastern seaboard, lots of rain out there, there's been this massive cold front sweeping across the entire nation and the eastern seaboard got a lot of rain. notable numbers include gardner, north carolina, just under 8 inches. fairfield, pennsylvania, just under 6 inches for you. here's some impressive video that we did capture -- a woman being rescued as she went right into a flooded dome there. of course, she had to be rescued there. thankfully, she was not hurt. of course, everyone be mindful of those flooded areas. continuing to sweep through the northeast, the cold front, new england getting a lot of rain earlier this morning.
7:21 am
this cold front will push offshore eventually. better conditions are following soon enough. however, as we take a look at this snowman built by a viewer near chicago. it's almost memorial day. remember that, conditions not that ideal for the midwest, still some seeing snow. and very cold conditions. green bay, 36. rockford, 39. and chicago, 42 degrees. that's a look at your national >> dan and bianna, back to you.
