>> it was meant to be. the happily married couple who met years before they actually met. the entire story and this picture that's popping up everywhere. now so many wondering is the love of your life someone you've already met and you may not even know it? and a good morning, america. lots of news to get to including the latest in ferguson overnight. start of the school year now delayed another week. prosecutors could start presenting evidence to a grand jury beginning tomorrow, of course, the big question, will this lead to charges against the officer? dan abrams is here to weigh in on that. >> indeed, the nation watching and waiting anxiously. but want to begin with the fast-moving wildfire, as we said. 13,000 people have already been forced out of their homes. buildings have been destroyed and hundreds more are in harm's way.

abc's neal karlinsky is right there in oakhurst, california, with the very latest for us. i can see not easy to breathe there. >> reporter: lara, good morning. i've got the mask here because the smoke and fumes are so strong. this fire came up very, very fast. you could see this structure is a total loss. this is a building, a local building still on fire. they ravaged through, tore this apart, catching much of the town completely offguard. overnight massive flames billowing into the sky. >> i'd never seen anything like it. >> reporter: there were tense moments overnight as fires swept through this nearby 30,000-gallon propane tank storage site. fire crews forced to let it burn for fear the tanks would explode. fortunately, they haven't so far. in this vacation town of oakhurst, california, just 16 miles from yosemite national park, 13,000 people ordered to evacuate. homeowners watching as out-of-control flames jumped

from trees and over roads. >> just can't believe how powerful that is. the trees are a couple hundred feet tall. and all of a sudden you see flames. >> reporter: hundreds of homes and businesses in jeopardy. at least eight already destroyed. the fast-moving fire scorching nearly 1200 acres so far. >> we've been worried about something like this, and now we've got it. >> reporter: air tankers attacking from above and more than 600 firemen working through the night trying to contain the blaze. schools have been closed in the area today just as a precaution. the fire has actually died down a bit this morning. but they will be reassessing before the day heats up again. george. >> so scary that it got so chose to that tank. we'll turn to the latest in ferguson. the curfew lifted overnight but protests and violence not ending. president obama has dispatched attorney general eric holder who will be in missouri tomorrow. and this morning we're hearing from a friend of the officer who

shot michael brown. abc's steve osunsami is on the scene right now. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, george. the start of school here has been delayed yet another week. at night the police here have a new tactic with demonstrators forcing them to keep moving. no standing still. 31 people were arrested last night alone, and police say many of them were from out of state. overnight the sound of smoke bombs and the smell of tear gas filled the night over ferguson. police set off ear-piercing sirens against the crowds after they say rocks and bottles came flying. >> in the dark of night, at least two people shot, not a single bullet fired by officers despite coming under heavy attack. >> reporter: the curfew lifted, but police in riot gear in full effect. arresting 31 people including some demonstrators who wouldn't keep moving. the state's governor sent in the missouri national guard. troops with guns on the roofs of grocery stores, their armored vehicles guarding the police staging area. >> hands up. >> hands up.

>> don't shoot. >> don't shoot. >> reporter: overnight protests broke out in new york city and atlanta too. all calling for justice more than a week after the shooting of michael brown. and this morning, a first, we're now hearing from a good friend of ferguson city police officer darren wilson who shot and killed the unarmed teen. >> i have exchanged text messages with him just as of a few days ago. i can tell that he's struggling, you know, i can tell that this is really hard on him. >> reporter: the friend is so concerned for his own safety he asked us to conceal his face for this interview. he wouldn't speak about the shooting but says he and wilson never saw his friend fight. >> he's a really quiet guy. he is just really well-mannered. he is very respectful. >> reporter: prosecutors say they could present their case to a grand jury as early as this week to determine if there will be charges. george. >> thanks. let's talk to the chief legal affairs anchor, dan abrams.

this grand jury, when it meets, is going to get two very different stories they have to sort through. >> that's right. less than half of the cases in the county ever go to a grand jury. you don't have to take it to a grand jury, but this allows the prosecutor with these sort of warring narratives to say, i didn't make the decision. they did. the grand jurors did, the people did. but how vigorously the prosecutor presents this case is everything. there's no defense attorney there. it's just the prosecutor presenting a case to the grand jurors. if the d.a. wants an indictment, he'll get an indictment. if the d.a. doesn't want an indictment or has questions, that could be a very different thing. >> one key piece of evidence already out there is this autopsy. how critical is it? >> absolutely crucial. the autopsy and ballistics to me are essential in this case. why? because if the weapon was fired from a distance, if these six shots were taken from far away and all of the bullets hit him in the front, that's going to be a very tough spot for the police officer to be in.

if, however, this was fired at close range, the police officer's going to say there was a struggle. we were fighting for the gun and so that becomes an absolutely essential question and, again, that's why it's so important how the d.a. presents this case to the grand jury. >> at the same time you've got the attorney general saying he'll pursue a civil rights investigation on a parallel but separate track. >> i don't think this will turn into anything. this is a state case. every time there is a controversial case the federal authorities come in and say we're looking at it, we're investigating, we're on top of it and i believe that all to be the case. but the reality is, this is a state case. that's where this case is going to be focused, and i think the feds are just watching very, very carefully. >> the state will go first. >> absolutely. i don't think -- again, i don't think the feds will -- where the actions will be in the case. >> thanks very much. >> still so many questions. now we turn to the crisis in iraq. president obama addressing the situation on monday saying u.s. air strikes have helped iraqis score a big victory over isis.

but the extremist group is not backing down as they renew threats against the u.s. abc's jon karl is at the white house and the president says this military action against these islamic militants is a limited campaign. could this be a sign of something larger? >> reporter: it sure could, lara. in fact, we have seen the campaign of air strikes in iraq increase significantly over the last few days. 35 air strikes in just 72 hours and while the president continues to promise very emphatically that there will be no ground troops introduced in iraq, yesterday he also said that he couldn't put an end date on this military operation. really preparing americans for the possibility that this military campaign of air strikes, and air strikes only, could go on for a long time. >> no end date and then also these threats from isis to attack on american soil. what do you know about this? >> reporter: well, we've seen a lot of threats from isis increasing in recent days. we saw it not long ago. they threatened to raise the black flag of isis over the white house. we've seen more specific threats.

just in the last several hours. this is really why the united states got involved because ultimately this terrorist group represents a threat to the west and a threat to the united state., in fact, lara, this as you hear many intelligence analysts say, could be the most well-funded, well-armed terrorist group we have ever seen. >> all right, jon karl, thank you very much. we want to get to amy for the other top stories developing right now. >> good morning, good morning, everyone. we begin with a surprise from pope francis, openly talking about his own mortality for the very first time. the 77-year-old leader of over a billion catholics, who has energized the church and planning a u.s. visit next year, was blunt about his popularity. he said, "i know it will last only a short time. two or three years and i'll be off to the father's house." some say he was joking but he did admit to having nerve problems. he also did not rule out retirement. new overnight the faa has banned u.s. airlines from flying over syria as we learn extremists are armed with hundreds of anti-aircraft missiles.

similar weapons downed the plane from ma lair ya airlines in yew ukraine. and police in southern california may have prevented a mass shooting. detectives there arrested two south pasadena high students accused of making specific plans to target teachers and as many students as possible at their school. police credit school officials for recognizing suspicious behavior. hondas are again the most popular with thieves. the accord and civic are topping the list of most stolen cars in the u.s. last year. the chevy silverado, ford f-series and toyota camry round out the top five. well, there is concern this morning that another volcano in iceland could cause major travel disruptions. the threat level was raised monday after a powerful earthquake hit the area. in 2010 ash from a different volcano in iceland caused 100,000 flights to be canceled. and the world of television has lost one of its most iconic voices. >> ladies and gentlemen, andy

>> reporter: on monday police deploying a dive team, search dogs and over the weekend members of the church where mcbride taught sunday school passing out flyers. >> this is a case of a child who came from a loving family, has family support, friends that support her, she also is very much connected with her local church. that is why it raises our suspicion. >> reporter: this morning detectives are also working to track mcbride's cell phone and following up on reported sightings of the teen, but so far nothing concrete. still, they say they don't have evidence of foul play at this time, but her fragile father fears otherwise. >> someone did it. someone took my daughter. >> reporter: for "good morning america," matt gutman, abc news, gainesville, florida. >> and now to the high-stakes heist on the streets of paris. a saudi prince's convoy attacked by a lightning quick gang of armed robbers who seem to know exactly what they wanted. abc's reena ninan is following this story from our london bureau. good morning to you, reena. >> reporter: good morning, lara.
