he's ready to greet his fans. but are they ready for him? the looks on the people's faces when they see peanut. there were squeals coming out of the makeup room this morning. kind of squeals of horror. but i think he's so ugly he's cute. >> and you know, it really takes a lot to shock new yorkers, too. they have seen just about everything until peanut. he managed to win us all over. including ron, right? >> i'm not sure about ron. >> that's a great dog. >> we followed peanut in manhattan. he just won the ugliest dog competition. this is what happened when he met chewbacca. but seriously, this dude, not chewbacca, the dog has a very moving back story. he'll be live on the set coming up later. >> nice enough to fly over and

wake up early to be with us. so we'll talk to peanut later on this morning. but we do want to begin with flood fears across the midwest. water raging over the banks and rivers. and abc's neal karlinsky is in one of the hardest hit areas. carver, minnesota. good morning, neal. >> reporter: bianna, good morning. we're up on a berm that they have constructed here to keep the flood waters at bay. the bridge is closed. the water is now up. you can't see the gap that normally runs under it. even without more rain, they have their hands full. severe thunderstorms blew through chicago overnight. drenching people downtown. bringing trees down on homes and wiping out power lines. even causing hundreds of delays at o'hare airport. >> we sat on the tarmac for two hours. they brought us back to the gate, took us off. sat there another hour. then they said the flight's canceled. >> reporter: to the south in atlanta, another system. uprooting trees, toppling cars, knocking down walls and damaging

homes. in hard-hit minnesota, they don't need any more rain to keep the problems from stacking up. it only takes one look at this buckling bridge near henderson, minnesota, to get a sense of the power of a flooded river. the bridge is slowly collapsing. >> it's just a mess right now. >> reporter: so, is this bridge going to go? >> this bridge is gone. >> reporter: we tried to reach the hard-hit town of henderson but couldn't get past all the mudslides. to the north, the national guard is now working the flood line. helping to fill sandbags against still rising waters. they can't be everywhere. and volunteers are pitching in. >> some kids just showed up. yea! >> reporter: as waters continue to rise, much of the damage is in rural areas, hitting farmers the hardest. the water's been backed up here. but not far from here, it's raging. and a 14-year-old boy actually had to be pulled when he tried to cross the river and ended up dangling from a branch until he could be rescued. dangerous waters out here, dan.

>> harrowing story, neal, thank you. let's get the forecast now from meteorologist julie durda who is with us this weekend from our abc station in miami, wplg. julie, not looking good today. >> no, not at all. we have heard from the national weather service, they have issued flood watches for parts of the midwest, especially where we're going to see most of the rain, over parts of minneapolis, in towards minnesota. this is our overnight radar. the last 24 hours. the worst of the weather over omaha, nebraska, moving into iowa. this whole section is under the threat of big flooding concerns. yet again. so, therefore, we have that flash flood watch in effect. most likely will be upgraded to a flash flood warning later on today. they could receive an additional three inches plus rainfall as we go into the afternoon and tomorrow. not only the rain, but the violent storms headed just south of that area. they'll have to deal with the possibility of tornadoes, wind gusts, and hail. >> not the news americans want to be hearing. julie, thank you. we turn to the rather shocking move out of the vatican. pope francis taking a shot at the mob while on a trip through

the heart of italy's mafia territory. he announced all organized crime members are now kicked out of the catholic church. abc's jeffrey kofman has the story. >> reporter: from the pope, a direct hit. on a day-long visit to calabria, francis took aim at the heart of italy's mob, with an unscripted denunciation of organized crime. calling it the adoration of evil. those who in their lives have taken this evil road, such as the mobsters, he says, are not in communion with god. they are excommunicated. the crowd of 150,000 cheered when they heard his words. never has a pope spoken so bluntly about the mob before. it is a body blow for mafia bosses in the region who like to present themselves as upstanding catholics. >> it's a really remarkable thing for the pope to travel into their own territory to make this statement that they are not doing the work of god and far from it. declaring that they're excommunicated.

>> do you renounce satan? >> reporter: the hypocrisy of the mafia's devout catholicism was captured in the violent 1972 film. the godfather." this is the first time a pope has threatened to excommunicate the mafia. [ speaking foreign language ] >> reporter: in 1993, pope john paul used milder language against sicily's mafia, warning that they would one day face the justice of god. they responded by bombing several churches in rome. francis' anger can be traced to a mafia hit in calabria in january that killed a 3-year-old boy and his grandfather. he told the mafia bosses hell awaits you if you continue on this road. for "good morning america," jeffrey kofman, abc news, london. >> thank you, jeffrey. ominous new developments out of iraq. four more strategic towns have fallen to the fundamentalist

sunni fighters known as isis. they're marching toward baghdad. meanwhile, thousands of heavily armed shiite militia men and women took to the streets to show they're ready to take on the insurgents. president obama announcing this past week we are sending 300 soldiers to iraq as advisers. let's bring in jonathan karl. he's co-hosting "this week." later this morning, right here on "gma." right here on abc, rather. the latest reports out of the northern territory are horrifying. stories of crucifixions in one town. at this point, how hard does the administration believe it will be to dislodge these insurgents? >> frankly, dan, they think in terms of the united states going in and dislodging it would be impossible. the view from the administration is, there is no military solution to this. the problem is, as bad as those insurgents are, they have a degree of support in the areas because the government is seen as being so defiantly, so thoroughly anti-sunni. the real problem in iraq is a political problem, not a military problem.

>> well, let me get to that. because there are pictures of these shiite militias on the march. don't they want to provoke a sort of faith-fueled civil war here? >> it sure is. they hope to provoke an overreaction or a strong reaction from the shia. this is why the obama administration is doing a difficult thing. which is to reach out to the iranians, tied strongly to the shia leadership in iraq. and to urge some restraint. urge them to hold back and find a political solution. that is exactly the fear here. this is becoming or maybe has already become a civil war. >> complex and high-stakes chess game for the administration. jon, thank you. jon will have full coverage of this crisis, along with martha raddatz who is in baghdad, coming up later on this morning on "this week." right here on abc. let's get the rest of the morning's top stories from ron.

a plane came crashing into his house. cole had just gone up the stairs to his room when he heard a huge explosion. >> i kind of looked out into the hallway like, what's going on? and all of a sudden, there were flames up in the hallway. >> he managed to escape by jumping out of a second floor window. two people aboard the sightseeing plane were killed. the ntsb is investigating. >> and katie couric made her debut as mrs. john molner. as she put it on twitter saturday night. the couple married in couric's east hampton's long island home. she admits that she and her now husband made the decision on her dress together. and finally, what a birthday present for rosemary. this lifelong st. louis cardinals fan celebrated turning 101 by throwing out the first pitch before friday's cards/phillies game. isn't that cool? she was spot on with the underhand toss. she's been alive for all 11 st. louis cardinals world series. that's dating back to 1926.

lions. this morning, an around-the-clock search for a missing off-duty firefighter enters its seventh day. overnight, the number of injured rescuers rising to five, including one bit by a rattlesnake. the hospital saying 52 vials of anti-venom used to treat him. that is a record number. >> this is some of the toughest terrain we have in the state. >> reporter: new video from inside a search helicopter shows the thick and rocky los padres national forest. rescue teams are searching this area for mike herdman and his dog, duke. >> it's hard. just to -- we are keeping hope every day. we expect mike to be found. or -- come up somewhere. so it's been tough. >> reporter: herdman was on a camping trip when duke ran off. the 36-year-old went after him

and never returned. leaving behind his backpack, even his shoes. authorities have seen duke several times. but have been unable to corral him. >> i hope that duke's with mike. so, if we find duke, i hope we find mike. >> reporter: friends and family are hoping herdman's skills as a firefighter, outdoorsman and paramedic help his chance of survival. >> these people who are accomplished outdoorsmen, they can stay self-sustained for days. without food rations if they don't have any. we have hope that that's the case. and that there's not a critical injury. >> reporter: herdman wasn't camping on his own. he was with a friend. but the two became separated. when herdman's dog ran off. there is concern and suspicion that herdman may be seriously injured and unable to move. his family and fellow firefighters say they have no intentions of giving up the search, no matter how dangerous. they're going to find their

brother and bring him home. >> and the dog. and he's got some good friends. thank you. now to an incredible rescue. this one at sea. it involves a couple who fell off their boat near key largo, florida. they were spotted 14 hours later, many miles away. trying to swim ashore. this rescue involves a trio of heroes. abc's marci gonzalez is on the story. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. when they fell overboard, they were not wearing their life vests. they spent an entire night trying to keep their heads above the waves and looking out for sharks. the guys that found them turned out to be experts at handling emergencies. stranded at sea. no boat, no life jackets. no way to call for help. >> they were some lucky couples. >> reporter: shawn and melissa were boating near the florida keys friday when they somehow went overboard. their 30-foot island hopper still in gear, driving away from them. all they could do was tread water and wait. >> my first thought was, how in the world did you get out here. >> reporter: the current carrying them nearly 75 miles north to hallandale beach.

after 14 hours in the atlantic ocean, finally a few guys out deep sea fishing spotted the couple. >> it's hard enough to find fish. but two people floating on the water, it's pretty strange. >> reporter: a strange sight even for these guys who thought they had seen it all. the two broward county sheriff's detectives and a paramedic enjoying the day off, suddenly going into life-saving mode. >> the closer we got, we realized, wow, this is a true emergency. kicked into gear. got there. and actually performed a rescue. >> reporter: the couple suffering from jellyfish stings and minor hypothermia, but otherwise okay. now back at home with an incredible story of survival and luck. >> it was purely chance. >> that's just one of them miracle stories. you know, thank god we found them. >> reporter: those rescuers say the couple was running out of time. much longer, and they say they may have ended up in the gulf stream which could have carried

them farther from land and the chance of being found. >> a lucky couple this morning. >> reporter: absolutely. happy to be back on dry land. >> i'm sure. thank you, marci. now it's to "gma's" excitement. the world cup. the excitement building across america as team usa -- >> at least in our audio booth. >> as team usa gets set to play powerful portugal later today after a big win in game one. abc's paula faris is in rio with a preview of the game. it will be played in sauna-like conditions. i know it is going to be hot there. millions of people are going to be rooting for team usa this morning. >> reporter: millions, myself included. how can you not be patriotic today? i believe that we will win. it is game day. how good does that sound? it's finally arrived. you just mentioned the sauna-like conditions. not favorable for either team. because the americans are more suited to the extremes, i say give them a slight edge. on top of that, they have had six days off. they are well-rested. and they are ready to rumble in the jungle. >> the header.

1-1! >> reporter: team usa got a boost on saturday without even playing a game. that's because germany and ghana tied. >> the equalizer. tucked in. >> reporter: the americans so interested, we caught them watching the game. what does it mean? simply this. team usa will automatically advance out of the group stage if they beat portugal tonight. and star, cristiano ronaldo who was active at team practice on saturday, after being forced out from a wednesday session with a bad knee. likely turning to the group of death is something the math gods like nate silver didn't anticipate. you said that the u.s. men's team had about a third of a chance to get out of the group. changing your tune? >> yes, it's up to about two-thirds. >> reporter: but winning it all? not so much for team usa. it went from 0.4%? >> i think it's like 0.6 now. it's gone up.

>> reporter: oh, so generous. >> yeah, there's a chance. >> reporter: it will be hot and humid in manaus. the brazilian amazon. it could play into team usa's hands. >> the team has trained very well the last couple of days. >> we have not done anything different to prepare for the heat. i think we're fit and we're conditioned. >> reporter: american fans we met in brazil don't plan on going home anytime soon. how deep do you think team usa goes? >> quarterfinals. >> reporter: quarters? >> quarters. >> reporter: what about you? >> i'll go semis. >> reporter: wow. >> we didn't come to watch them lose. >> reporter: a lot of optimism. there is a chance it will rain tonight turning the surface in manaus into something like quicksand. i would expect the weather to slow the game down a bit, dan and bianna. can we do this together? i believe we can win. >> we can win. >> reporter: dan? >> a quick question. is that an actual flag draped around you or a patriotic

blouse? >> reporter: it's a flag. i bought it. yes, i'm wearing something underneath it. okay, there we go. >> i love it. i love it. >> reporter: i can bring one back for you, dan. >> please, do. >> there are not many times i want to bet against nate silver, but i kind of want to this time. 0.6%? >> he's wrong. paula, thank you. so, here's the question -- what does team usa need to do to win here? let's bring in alexi lalas. a former member of team usa and now a soccer analyst for espn. good morning to you, alexi. he also joins us from rio, we should say. with the star striker for the usa, jozy altidore out, how do the tactics need to change? >> there are a couple of things that coach jurgen klinsmann can do. he can put an existing player like clint dempsey up there. he's also a little banged up. broke his nose in the first game. or he can put some guys from the bench. one man's loss is another man's opportunity. you have a guy like chris wondolowski. plays in the mls for san jose earthquakes.

he's scored a lot of goals in mls. he could only in. johansson, who plays in europe, could come in. it's a great day to be an american soccer fan. usa going up against portugal. portugal right now has plenty of injuries for themselves. they're a wounded animal. if they are, the u.s. has to put them out of their misery today. and they can. who would have thought this group of death, after two games, the possibility exists that the u.s. could be out of this group, sitting pretty for that third game? it's an amazing tournament so far. and for the u.s., this is a huge, huge game. it is going to be a wonderful game to see. interesting in terms of tactics. and all the support across the u.s. >> they have won us over. and of course, as you mentioned, portugal, they have injuries. their star, ronaldo, is not 100%. this should be a very interesting game. alexi, thank you so much. you can catch all of the action and the big usa/portugal match starting at 5:00 p.m. eastern on espn. before that, a world cup doubleheader right here on abc. world cup fever happening today. meantime, time for a check of the weather, back over to
