celebration for millions of people on the east coast. >> raining on many a parade. good morning. look at this. arthur's destructive path. making landfall on the barrier islands of north carolina on thursday, with peak winds up to 100 miles an hour. it's become a tropical storm overnight off nantucket and cape cod. it's now heading to nova scotia. >> it's the first hurricane to make landfall since isaac in 201 when it hit louisiana. and the first hurricane of category 2 or greater since ike struck texas in september of 2008. arthur made landfall earlier on the calendar than any other hurricane in north carolina's history. so let's get right to one of the hardest hit spots this that state. ba rks ufo-- beaufort, north carolina. matt gutman is there. matt? >> that's right. arthur made landfall right about here. so powerful, the winds knocked you off your feet. they were so fierce, they

snapped anchor cables on boats like this, creating a domino effect. you see four of them lined up behind me. the story was all about wind. in the northeast, all about water. overnight, hurricane arthur downgraded to a tropical storm as it moves off the east coast. waves battering new york, new jersey, and connecticut. flash flooding in massachusetts and rhode island. >> it's deep. look at this. it's past the curb. the water is unbelievable here. >> reporter: in new bedford, massachusetts, people are salvaging their belongings after arthur left their basements flooded. >> the water was up to here. >> reporter: at one point, arthur was packing up to 60-mile-an-hour winds, packing rains and forming this water spout. fireworks canceled or postponed for most of the east. in new york, the macy's spectacular barges moved south. but the show went on. and power is still out for thousands in parts of north carolina, where arthur crashed in early friday. the wind blasting in at 100 miles per hour. clearly, the wind is pretty bad. i'm going to get out of this.

and this morning, the cleanup. after seven hours of gusts left some communities stranded underwater, burying homes in sand and nearly wiping out highway 12. with no reports of injuries or catastrophic damage, the governor of north carolina was pleased. >> this has actually been a very good day. >> reporter: but east coasters still made the most of their july 4th. surfers catching the massive waves off the jersey shore. and enjoying the beach in cape cod. that's why one reason a lot of folks here jokingly called this the perfect storm. it came in overnight, caused very little damage. hurt nobody. pushed up the swells for the surfers. and left in time for most people, other than the boat owners behind me, to enjoy a beautiful fourth of july weekend. ryan? >> okay, matt. hopefully things are turning around. too much rain in the east. not enough in the west. add in the wind and you've got a

recipe for firefighters growing out of control. more and more breaking out in california. firefighters struggling to keep on top of them. mike boettcher is in los angeles with more. >> reporter: good morning, ryan. flames destroyed several homes in northern california, but fortunately, nobody was hurt. it's another example of california's dry and dangerous wildfire season. breaking overnight, california ablaze. three more fires break out in northern california. in solano county, just outside san francisco, residents were forced to evacuate. as a devastating wildfire consumed eight homes and damaged three more. >> not much of a chance with the wind out here blowing. like i said, we were grabbing water hoses. neighbors were grabbing water hoses. fire extinguishers. >> reporter: in nearby sacramento, firefighters battled a large grass fire that forced some families to evacuate. the smoke plumes above could be seen from over 50 miles away, with flames reaching up to 200 feet in the air. in roseville, black smoke filled the air.

as four homes were destroyed, leaving residents with barely enough time to escape. >> they were in the house when it was on fire. and someone came up and started banging on the door to get out of the house. >> reporter: while firefighters got the flames under control, it comes at the end of a tense week of fires across the state. as the drought season intensifies. and with a scarce water supply, citizens are feeling the heat. fires are dominating the golden state, destroying more than 6,000 acres state-wide since the beginning of this week. in napa valley, thousands of acres of land burned until the weather helped put the flames out on wednesday, with eight fires active in the state this is just the beginning of a long fire season. because of persistent dry temperatures and extreme drought, it's proving to be a long and dangerous fire season. bianna? >> those firefighters trying to contain the blaze. mike, our thanks to you. so we have arthur hitting the east coast. raging fires out west. let's check in with jason nicholas, from our abc station in cleveland, wews.

talk us through the big weather stories. >> good morning to you. great to be here on the fourth of july weekend. the good news with arthur is, no longer a hurricane. arthur is pulling out. moving out to sea. cold water here across the north atlantic. so it will weaken rapidly. behind it, terrific weather. from boston down through washington, philly, new york city. temperatures in the upper 70s, lower 80s. cooler, dryer, less humid air as well. the heat going out west. no rain in sight. look at these temperatures. well into the triple digits from redding to palm springs. the heat continues. and again, staying dry. the winds will die down a bit. a little humidity across the central part of the country. we'll take a look at the severe storm threat coming up in just a few. ryan? all right, thank you. and now to the nation's immigration crisis and a hot new battleground in the border war. angry protesters taking to the streets again in a small

no one is really listening. there's not a dialogue. and so that's -- that's unfortunate. >> reporter: the president saying he'll act because congress has not. >> the basic idea of welcoming immigrants to our shores is central to our way of life. it's in our dna. >> reporter: at the white house, the president honoring famous chef jose andres, as the outstanding american by choice, an award for new american citizens. we talked to him earlier this year about immigration reform. >> the very simple question we need to be asking congress is, why? why are we making something so simple so political? >> reporter: but the immigration debate in the border cities rages on. overnight, another plane with undocumented immigrants landed in san diego. and buses like this one are reported to be taking immigrants to another location to avoid more protests. the white house is asking congress for $2 billion to help speed the deportation of the women and children who have entered the country illegally and to strengthen border security. but that has done very lit toll quiet this bitter controversy over immigration in independence

weekend. ryan? >> jeff, strong feelings on both sides of the debate. after testifying at a homeland security field meeting this week, texas governor rick perry will be in the hot seat on abc's "this week." it's tomorrow. promising to be a strong interview. >> texas and california two of the hardest hit states in regards to this issue. it will be a great interview to hear from him. meantime, a check of the rest of the morning's top stories from ron. happy 4th. fifth. >> happy fifth of july to you. breking news. four children were killed overnight in philadelphia. a blaze erupted in the southwest part of the city just before 3:00 this morning. quickly spread to several adjacent homes. in addition to the children killed, 40 people were left homeless. the fire destroyed eight houses. one witness says she was awakened by the smoke and quickly grabbed her sleeping children. she and her children were able to escape. officials are investigating the cause of the fire. in brazil, fighting erupts

finally, hold the mustard and the sauerkraut. defending hot dog eating champion joey chestnut, great name, had something else on his mind before friday's annual hot dog-eating competition. marriage. >> these have been the best three years of my life. i can't live without you. you make me better. will you marry me? >> yes! >> she went on to demand a prenup, but -- wait, hey, why not? just kidding, by the way. joey jaws, as he's called, went on to scarf the competition, devouring 61 hot dogs. earning him his eighth consecutive title. i interviewed him once. he said the key to the competition, and this is a little bit disgusting. you don't chew them. you just -- you get some lubricant, with some water. you shove them down as fast as you can. >> because nothing says romance like eating 61 hot dogs. >> puts you in the mood for marriage, i suppose. >> once again, the most least romantic proposal ever.

>> are you sure? >> yeah. >> you would not want it that way? >> i would not want it that way. i think i had a perfect proposal. but we are happy for them. on to this big weekend for cookouts. a huge chicken recall. 1 million pounds produced by foster farms with a best used by date between march 21 and 29 sold in nine western states might have been contaminated with salmonella. let's bring in dr. jennifer ashton. good morng, jen. >> good morning, ryan. >> first let's talk about salmonella. remind us what the symptoms are and why it's dangerous. >> this is a bacterial food-borne issue. nausea, vomiting. g.i. issues. typically, we see them about 8 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. most of it goes away on its own. the cdc reports there are more than 1 million cases of salmonella poising in the country every year. most go unreported. but they do kill about 400 people every year. we need to take it seriously. >> when you go to a barbecue. put us in your mind. because she loves a good barbecue.

put us in your mind. oh, yeah. what do you look at in terms of safety concerns? >> i typically look at it through the medical filter of three issues. and basically, that's choking. burns you can get around a barbecue. and food poisoning. those are the big ones. luckily, these things don't happen often. we want to minimize the risk. >> and speaking of food poisoning, by the way, what are some of the safety precautions people can take at barbecues, in terms of food poisoning? >> don't try to eat 61 hot dogs like joey chestnut. >> and if you do, don't chew them. >> that's right. today, if you're going out. you're stocking up for the barbecue later. you want to make the grocery store the last stop so the foods don't sit in a hot car. if you're in an area where temperatures are over 90 degrees, one hour maximum before the food needs to be in the refrigerator. and then the big ones. we hear so much about cooking temperature. it bears repeating. hot foods need to stay hot. over 140 degrees after they've been cooked. don't just put them on the picnic table. and keep the cold foods cold. and that means, under 40

degrees, so keep them on ice. >> great advice. >> have a good one. >> thank you, jen. >> you bet. well, we're going to turn now to the missing baby found because a quick-thinking gas station worker noticed the woman minding her was acting strangely and called the cops. bazi kanani is here with the story. good morning, bazi. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. this morning, a 6-month-old baby girl is safe, back at home with her mother. and her kidnapper behind bars. all because a convenience store clerk trusted her gut and called police when something didn't seem right. >> maricopa county sheriff's office. how can i help you? >> i have a lady who broke down on the freeway. she's acting really weird. >> reporter: karen atkins was working the cash register in arizona at this gas station last wednesday when 57-year-old karen ferguson came in with a baby. atkins said ferguson was acting strangely. trying to feed the infant cappuccino and couldn't answer simple questions about the girl's name. that's when she dialed 911.

>> i just, my gut is wrong. i don't know. no one is missing a baby, right? >> not that i'm aware of. >> reporter: but somebody was missing a baby. 300 miles away. in huntington beach, california. an amber alert issued earlier that day for 6-month-old leilani mosely, last seen with her grandmother, carolyn ferguson, who is bipolar and off her medication. atkins was able to keep ferguson distracted until police arrived. >> it's a mom thing. if it wasn't her baby, it would kill me if i let her walk out that door and know later on that it wasn't hers and i could have done something at that moment. >> reporter: this morning, police are thanking atkins for her quick thinking. and for trusting her intuition. >> had it not been for her and how observant she was, we probably wouldn't be standing here with a successful story right now. >> reporter: ferguson, the

baby's grandmother, is being held in arizona on $50,000 bail, booked on child endangerment, abuse, and custodial interference. she reportedly took the child while the baby's mother was sleeping. and ryan and bianna, the gas station clerk is, herself, a mother. >> a mother's gut intuition. >> exactly. >> you have a 9-month-old as well. >> yes, and i know that cappuccino is not a good idea before bedtime. >> absolutely. never. >> thank you, bazi. >> thank you. well now, let's head across the pond on this weekend. all eyes on wimbledon where top-seeded novak djokovic will face roger federer tomorrow. in the men's finals. >> but the women's finals are set for today, featuring tennis' hottest shooting star looking to win her first grand slam title. linzie janis has her story from london. linzie? >> reporter: good morning, ryan and bianna. eugenie bouchard is taking the tournament by storm. the canadian being compared for

centre court. >> i'm proud of what i accomplished. but the job is not over. >> reporter: despite being the underdog, many are betting she can win it. >> i think she's come a long way in a short period of time. she's great. she's just got that winner's aura about her. i picked her before the tournament. so i'm looking pretty good at the moment. >> i'm a genie believer. i gotta tell you. >> reporter: it's not just her game that has people talking. >> she looks really good. a real fighter. >> reporter: not afraid to flaunt her movie star looks. >> very attractive. ye. easy to watch. >> reporter: she loves a good old selfie, whether it's with bestie jim parsons or the pope. when asked which fan she most wanted to meet from the royal box? >> i'm going to have to go with princess eugenie. because i was named after her. >> reporter: she may have to settle for the likes of the duke and duchess of cambridge. or jude law and bradley cooper. adding a touch of hollywood glamour to the sidelines.
