headlines, how strong they were, anyway. i want to go toward illinois. michael showed you at the top of the show the incredible flooding rains that have been there. you won't believe these pictures. this morning, heavy rainfall creating chaos for millions in the midwest. in chicago, residents wading through hip-deep water, leaving cars behind to escape the severe flooding. so much rain, the chicago river was reversed to ease flooding downtown. >> i went and then my car just started floating, and i said, "oh, snap!" so my first reaction was to escape from the car. i opened the door, and water started flooding my feet. >> these drivers on a sidewalk to avoid a pool beneath the bridge. nearly 9 inches of rain falling in some areas, in a matter of hours. in pennsylvania, three reported tornadoes over the weekend destroying several buildings. >> i grabbed my girlfriend and grabbed ahold of her to keep her from getting hit, it just came through and let loose.

canada, even a little continue for most of the summer, the air pattern is such that we are not getting tapped into that. all the smoke hitting the ground and through the country is on the light side of medium there, so if we look at all the air quality readings here in every city, it is green, it is yellow, so it's good to moderate. that is super good news for us, because the rain has been clearing out the skies, the smoke has been trapped to the north, so we will continue to watch how that goes. heat and dangerous heat is another headline. we will take that up when we come back in just a minute. eva? >> thanks, sam. severe weather happening as millions of americans take to the roads and skies for the holiday. severe turbulence injured multiple people on an hawaiian airlines flight. trevor ault has the latest. good morning to you, trevor. >> good morning, eva. certainly a few headaches already this holiday travel weekend. while the number of delays and cancellations have been relatively minimal, monitor the potential impact of all the storms sam has been tracking, because it wouldn't

>> and after last week's travel debacle, thousands of delayed and canceled flights, united ceo blaming weather and faa staffing shortages, but now also facing his own controversy for taking a private jet in the midst of the chaos. he since apologized, saying that was insensitive as so many were stranded, and the airline is also now offering 30,000 free miles to united passengers who were delayed overnight or didn't reach their destination at all. and united says they're going to be sending out instructions to passengers on how you can get those 30,000 free miles. the company says they are also working with and supporting the faa to try to solve some of these problems that led to all those major headaches last week. >> those passengers could definitely use a little break there, trevor. thank you so much. turning now to the manhunt underway in baltimore after a mass shooting killed two people and left at least 28 others wounded. police now saying more than a dozen of the victims are minors. ike ejiochi is in baltimore with the very latest.

here say they make a huge difference. on the southern front, around zaporizhzhia, tanks from the 35th brigade advancing. these videos given to abc news by the crew. the counteroffensive against putin's army nearly a month in, the progress steady but slow and deadly. russian forces are resisting hard. we met the soldiers of the 35th near the front lines in zaporizhzhia. sergei says, "our lives are always at risk, but morale is hardened. we want to kick them out of our land and go home to our families." we have met artillery tank and infantry soldiers on the front lines and they all pretty much say the same thing. what we see now is looking for weak spots. the main advance is yet to come. but without those american and european fighter jets, it's going to be slow and bloody. michael? >> all right, ian, thank you for that close inside look. here at home, we are following the latest on the supreme court

fallout. our new "abc news" poll with ipsos shows that 53% of americans believe justices base their rulings mainly on their partisan political views. that number is up 10 percentage points since january. karen travers has the latest. good morning, karen. >> michael, good morning. another sign that americans are losing confidence in the independence of the supreme court. but that poll also found that americans are agreeing with that court, that conservative majority, on two of the blockbuster rulings last week. 52% of americans approve of the supreme court decision, effectively ending affirmative action and restricting the use of race as a factor in college admissions. on that other major ruling, the court decision to strike down president biden's program to student loan debt, are poll found 40% of americans approve while 40% disapprove. michael? >> karen, does the white house

have a plan for those hoping to see relief from the plan? >> the president is under enormous pressure from many democrats right now and to do it quickly. he has announced his administration is going to try to provide some degree through another law, but the initiation is not announced details of that yet, and officials say it will take months to finalize and will most certainly face legal challenges. to try and give some relief before that, when federal student loan repayments restart in october after more than 3-year pause because of the pandemic, the administration says there will be a 12-month grace period where borrower's will not be defaulted even if they miss a monthly payment. michael? >> karen travers, thank you for bringing that to us from the white house. whit? >> all right, michael, now to nascar, putting the pedal to the metal in the the first time show down, running through the loop in chicago. will reeve is here with the details of this historic event. good morning. >> good morning to you, whit. nascar taking into the streets

forces describe as "militant." the camp and a nearby town has been a central point for israeli-palestinian violence since last spring. and in north carolina, officials are investigating what happened with this roller coaster after a massive crack was found on a support beam. you can see in the video of the ride, it shows the beam bending. the top of it visibly detached, as cars with passengers sped by. thankfully, no one was injured. >> frightening video, though. overnight, history for the u.s. men's soccer team. take a look, jesus barrera as scored a hat trick against trinidad and tobago, becoming the first men's national team player to score consecutive hat tricks in a national competition. the first came wednesday against st. kitts and nevis, in the gold cup tournament. he's playing with all sorts of confidence right now. good for him. >> also, a lot more ahead this morning including the hottest july 4th sales and what to hold off on.

troubling trend of injuries from the activity. in georgia, another 6-year-old injured, a father now planning a lawsuit against an adventure park after he says he was forced to save his daughter's life when one of the zip line ropes became wrapped around her neck, strangling her. >> i had lost consciousness as soon as i took the impact. >> and just days ago, a collision on the ropes in colorado. ziplining guide j.p. schiller was attempting to rescue a 10-year-old boy who had gotten stuck on one of the lines when another zip liner came barreling into the 21-year-old at 30 miles an hour. >> i basically grabbed his harness while we were both attached to the line, and rotated my body so i took the impact and the little boy didn't. my memory picks up in the hospital. i was treated for a mild concussion, loss of consciousness, a sprained wrist, as well, and pain in my lower left leg. >> some of the worst injuries

can happen at speed. look to see if, before you go down in the zip line, see if there's anyone on it. the guides sometimes are not quite aware, so the fallback is yourself. >> experts say avoiding worn down equipment can help shield you from disaster on the ropes, and recommends checking reviews of zip line companies as the summer months go on. >> these are not regulated. there are standards, and the standards are quite good, but not everyone complies, and they are not mandatory, so just be aware. >> really scary to have to think about, but experts say, if you're going to zip line, make sure your clothing isn't too loose. if you're going upwards of 30-40 miles per hour with a loose ponytail or jacket, something could go wrong. they also say read those waivers. so many people go ahead and sign. read them, because they often detail what could go wrong, guys. but if you're going to do one on vacation, count me out. >> you are out.

janai is out. we will read the fine print for you then, janai. thank you very much. now to an important warning about semi trucks for anyone hitting the road this holiday. stephanie ramos has what you need to know, and how to tell if you are in a driver's blind spot. stephanie, good morning. >> good morning, whit. most of us have driven next to or behind a massive semi truck. it could be pretty intimidating. they weigh as much as five elephants, so it's no surprise when there is an accident between a semi truck and a passenger vehicle. the passenger vehicle is often the one totaled, so this is why experts are stressing, if you are on the roads, keep your distance. driving too close to a semi truck, like this, can be devastating. thankfully, that driver survived, but in 2020 nearly 5,000 people were killed in accidents involving large trucks, and research shows 78% of crashes or near crashes are caused by drivers of passenger vehicles.

experts say driving around a big rig can be particularly dangerous when vehicles spend too much time in one of the truck's massive blind spots. watch as this red car drives below the truck driver's line of sight, becoming virtually invisible, and as the truck shifts lanes... thankfully there were no injuries. >> it's really important that drivers of cars realize that truck drivers can't always see you. if you're in a blind zone, make sure that you get out of it as safely and quickly as you can. >> so we buckled up, and with help from the virginia tech transportation institute, get a glimpse of just how tough visibility can be when you are in the driver's seat of an 18-wheeler. >> sitting here in the driver's seat, i am checking the left mirror, the right mirror, looking in front of us, and it looks clear. but take a look at our drone shot. there are seven other vehicles and motorcycles all around us. there's a motorcycle in front of us, to the left of the truck,

and another semi truck behind us, all sitting in blind spots. >> large trucks have not one but four blind spots, referred to as "no zones." since there is no rearview mirror, the no zone in the back can stretch 200 feet. the most dangerous area is to the right, where the no zone can span more than three lanes, which is why only passing on the left side, where the blind spot is smaller, is so critical. and once you pass, experts say wait until you see the entire front of the truck in your own rearview mirror before merging in front of it to avoid that often forgotten blind spot just below the truck's fender. >> there's a motorcycle in front of us. i don't see it at all. >> a fully loaded semi can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, and at highway speeds can take the length of a football field to stop. >> a lot of times people will pass a truck, get right in front of it, and slow back down.

sometimes that truck driver doesn't have enough time to react. that could end in a rear end collision. the number one tip is to give them extra space so that truck driver can respond to any unexpected event to help prevent that crash. >> another great way to know if you are in the truck's blind spot, look for the truck driver's face in the mirror. if you can't see them, they can't see you, so move as quickly and steadily as possible past that truck. do not hang out in the no zones, guys. >> such good advice. we were talking about it, there's no reason to hang out on the sides. >> go past and keep going. >> that demonstration is very helpful to see. >> coming up next, the best holiday sales. what to buy right now, and the other opportunities to save big this summer. opportunities to save big this summer. ♪ ♪ afib. the first inkling that something was wrong was i started to notice that i couldn't do things without losing my breath.

like tom cruise, who took a social media last week to promote not his upcoming "mission: impossible," but instead posting photos with tickets to "indiana jones and the dial of destiny," "oppenheimer," and "barbie." cruise congratulating harrison ford on 40 years of indiana jones while giving this review of the others, writing, "it doesn't get more explosive or more pink," and "oppenheimer" and "barbie," the director and star of barbie decided to return the favor. greta gerwig and margot robbie posted photos with their tickets to tom's movie and the others. their photos are captioned, "mission accepted." very simple. >> love it. >> will the stars of the new indy movie and "oppenheimer" do the same? a lot of love out there and cross promotions like these are certain to encourage fans to also go to movie theaters this summer. i love it! >> you could run into tom cruise!

>> you never know, whit. you never know. also in pop news this morning we have some music news for you. ed sheeran got a little help from his friends this weekend in boston. the singer made a stop on his mathematics stadium tour and he needed an opening act. the singer-songwriter khalid was supposed be on the road with him but suffered a minor car accident. he is recovering and he is okay, but john mayer stepped in, and so did little big town. they came to the rescue, as well. mayer stepping in to warm up the crowd on friday, little big town did it at gillette stadium. i wish i had been at one of those shows. i love both of those bands. john even joined ed for a duet of "thinking out loud" for the sold-out crowd, and it turns out sunday was also a particularly busy day for ed he took time to surprise some young musicians giving a concert. the youth group could barely believe their eyes when they were accompanying sheeran on his latest single, "eyes closed."

he said afterward, "i love playing with kids who are just getting inspired by the music for the first time." those moments mean a lot. good on you, ed, and everybody who helped. taylor swift is also in the news this morning showing her fans what swift really looks like. forced to sprint off the stage in cincinnati, ohio, over the weekend, when her trapdoor malfunctioned. she was just finishing up her performance of "look what you made me do," when that trapdoor was supposed open after a little stop, nothing happened so she took off not taking any chances. listen, guys, she has had four months. she has seen it all. we have seen her singing in downpours, she had a bug land in her mouth during a song. >> i remember that. >> she's not only swift, she's also unflappable. finally, this just made us happy. another day in doggy paradise. take a look at this, and look

closely. not sure we have ever seen a dog float like this. it's a goldendoodle living her best life, having a float, chilling in the pool on her own, not a care in the world. hopefully it goes a little closer. it's not a mop you see there, it's a dog floating in a pool. and that, everybody, is pop news. think about it, ruminate, and we'll be back in a moment. is "" think about it. rimini. we will be right back. build a better bay area moving forward, finding solutions. >> this is abc7 news. >> good morning everyone. i'm kumasi ryan from abc7. mornings. we're checking in with sue now for a look at traffic. hi sue. >> hi kumasi. and we are headed to the golden gate bridge. still socked in with a fog advisory. still in effect. it's been most

food stunt work, but also your comedy. do you take it in real life? how many kids do you have? >> i've got five kids. >> i met one of them. >> yes, my life is horrible. [laughter] no, i mean -- the chaos of children, whether you have one or five, provides conflict, and there is opportunity for material there. but, i don't know, i enjoy doing stand-up, so with each hour i have written, i feel like i get better, and there is some self assignment behind it. i feel grateful i can do stand-up. it is such a great creative outlet. >> but the material is everywhere. you just have to be open to it. >> yeah, it's everywhere. >> you have five kids, i'm sure people expect you to have good parenting advice. do you have some for us? >> i don't want this to come out the wrong way, but run.

[laughter] so i wanted to help him out. jerry and i, we have known each other for a bunch of years, and we love talking stand-up, so that was some of the inspiration behind doing these couple dates. we are pretty excited about it. >> what is it like working with him? >> i mean, jerry is like the consummate comedy -- he's like hanging around a comedy socrates. you just talk about comedy constantly, he's very sincere in these discussions, and it never

ends. but he's also hysterical, so it's a blast. >> love it. >> you two together? >> amen. >> bring the popcorn.
