hey, good morning to you, everyone. i'm reena ninan. >> and i'm phillip mena. let's start with the wildfire crisis across the western united states and all of the heat that so many of us are being forced to deal with. >> definitely feeling it here in new york, but major fires burning in washington state, oregon, idaho, california, colorado and montana. for so many in these states, it's time to survey the extensive damage and determine what, if anything, can be salvaged. >> take a look at this. the so-called canyon creek complex fire in oregon. this picture taken on friday, just small plumes of smoke. well, fast forward just a couple of days, and it looks like this with. with more on the fires and the scorching summer temperatures, here's abc's kenneth moton. >> reporter: across the west the heat and dry conditions have fueled wildfires burning out of control in several states. on the front lines 30,000 firefighters who are stretched so thin, active military troops

almost directly underneath a tornado that had yet to touch down. several structures were damaged in the storm near denver. some power lines were also taken down, but we're happy to report there were no injuries. [ sirens ] >> that siren sounding in southern mississippi as another tornado approached. it wound up taking down trees and causing some structural damage. once again, there were no reports of any injuries. >> taking a look at the radar now, that severe weather from colorado now making its way through kansas and oklahoma. damaging winds, hail and a few tornadoes are possible. accuweather's justin povick has today's forecast. good morning, justin. >> phillip and reena, thanks and good morning to you. we're very concerned about tornadoes, damaging winds and large hail later on this afternoon over the nation's heartland. this is a very intense storm system for this time of the year. numerous travel delays expected from des moines to chicago and

all the way south toward kansas city and wichita, but it's not just the center portion of the country that we're concerned about. out west it's the heat, it's the drought and also a continuation of high fire danger right through midweek, and then into the east it's just the heat and the humidity. again, it's coming in a little bit late. it's still mid-august, so we can definitely feel the heat this time of the year. we're not talking about record highs, but it's going to feel like it's around 100 degrees in a couple of locales is wednesday along the interstate 95 corridor. phillip and reena, back to you. >> thank you so much. breaking overnight crews in indonesia have finally reached a passenger jet that slammed into a mountain on sunday. the bodies of all 54 people on board the trigana air service flight have been recovered, and crews also found both black boxes. the plane lost contact with the airport minutes before it was scheduled to land. it was also carrying nearly $500,000 in cash to aid poor families. breaking overnight a second explosion in bangkok, thailand following yesterday's deadly blast. records say a bomb was tossed

[ cheers and applause ] >> i love it. i love it. those messages disappear all by themselves. [ laughter ] >> well, clinton has turned over tens of thousands of e-mails to the state department for review. the donald trump show rolled into lower manhattan yesterday as trump arrived for jury duty. the republican front-runner

shook hands and signed autographs on the way in. ultimately trump was not picked as a juror due to a lack of cases, but abc's tom llamas had a chance to ask trump about his controversial immigration policy. >> reporter: how would you find them and deport them? >> it's going to be very easy. you just watch. >> reporter: how would you do it? can you give us a specific? >> rare silence from trump. tomorrow he returns to the campaign trail with a town hall meeting in new hampshire. well, prosecutors in south africa are calling for oscar pistorius to be convicted of murder in the death of his girlfriend. pistorius is due to be released from prison friday after serving ten months of his five-year sentence for manslaughter. but prosecutors want his conviction upgraded to murder with a minimum sentence of 15 years. pistorius testified that he thought he was shooting at an intruder, not at his girlfriend. a sad passing to note. the country's oldest veteran has died. emma didlake was 110 years old and just last month she traveled from michigan to the white house

to meet president obama. didlake was a 38-year-old wife and mother of five when she signed up for the women's army auxiliary corps in 1943. one of her secrets to longevity, she said every day she had nine golden raisins soaked in a pint of gin. well, two soldiers are set to make history this friday becoming the first women to graduate from the army's famously difficult ranger training. about 40% of those who started the training that was back in april, they dropped out. even though they will graduate, the soldiers are not allowed to serve as rangers since women are still banned from combat. what an achievement for those women, though. >> absolutely. still ahead, worse than first thought. a cyberattack at the irs exposing taxpayers' personal information. and a bright flash then a crash. a man on a motorcycle struck by lightning. the one thing he says that saved his life. plus, a dangerous job. two men forced to use garden tools to corral a tiger on the
