8:10 am
rainfall. two inches in just two hours. none of that rain is falling in the wildfire hot spots that need it most. overnight, five states are battling extreme weather out west. california wildfires sparked by lightning causing governor jerry brown to declare a state of emergency after already issuing mandatory evacuations. and raging fires in washington and oregon continuing to tear through dry forests and brush, threatening to destroy more homes. across the southwest, the concern is flooding. torrential rains turning the streets in albuquerque into rushing rivers. drivers abandoning vehicles. some needing rescue. in phoenix, more flooding. strong winds also wreaked havoc. uprooting several trees in spokane, washington. some coming dangerously close to home. others crushing cars. in one terrifying moment, this seattle man says he was struck by lightning. >> oh, wow! >> reporter: lightning struck this tree in washington starting another fire.
8:11 am
more lightning spotted across arizona overnight. adding to grows fears that more wildfires could soon spark. unfortunately, hot and dry weather is expected to continue in the northwest, keeping the fire danger high. add in the threat of more lightning, you can understand why fire crews are so nervous. dan and bianna? >> brandi, thank you. lots of action in the american west. but this morning, there are crickets on capitol hill. congress has left for summer vacation without addressing a whole host of issues. that's friday night before they took off. they failed to cover a whole host of issues including the problem on the southern border. why this dysfunction? let's bring in george stephanopoulos. >> why in about 7,000 words or less. >> i have a two-part question. not multiple choice. the president is blaming republicans for the dysfunction. is that fair? and is there any chance of anything getting done in the three months leading up to the midterm elections? >> a little bit did get done this week. they were able to pass some fix
8:12 am
for the veterans problems and also a highway bill. but the big issue, on immigration, which ended in collapse this week. the republicans in the house, i think it's fair to say, have blocked what the president and senate democrats and some republicans have tried to pass. this could provoke a different kind of constitutional confrontation. the president is saying he's going to act on his own to extend some kind of legal status or defer prosecution for up to 5 million undocumented immigrants in the country right now. getting pushed hard to do that by many in the latino community. if he does that, that could help fuel the arguments of republicans who say he's gone outside his authority. one of the things the republicans passed this week was suing the president for that. >> the recipe for more gridlock? >> i think it's safe to say. at least through the midterms. >> thank you, george. >> before i go, i want to say good-bye to bianna. >> please do. >> you have done such a great job here. we have loved every minute having you.
8:13 am
we'll keep on watching. >> i'm excited. i have loved working with you and learning from the master. smartest guy in television. and hardest working. >> going to miss you. see you, guys. >> george will go one on one with white house senior adviser dan pfeiffer. and now, wow, i think this is the second to last time i'm going to be saying this. let's turn to ron with the headlines. >> good morning, everyone. a frightening scene in a casino in arizona. gun fire. a man with an assault rifle began firing outside the honda casino, about 200 miles from phoenix. the man allegedly called his mother before the shooting and said he was going to shoot people. he was shot and killed by police. and now the breaking news overseas. u.n. officials say there's been an air strikes near a united nations school in southern gaza. 10 people killed, 35 others injured.
8:14 am
no word on where the rocket was fired from. earlier, israeli military officials said one of its soldiers who they previously said was captured by hamas fighters, was, in fact, killed in battle. an innocent man is shot and killed in his own home by a los angeles county sheriff's deputy during a shootout with a gunman that police were trying to arrest. s.w.a.t. teams were aimed to arrest the man, an armed parolee, who broke into the home of frank mendoza and was holding mendoza's wife hostage. mendoza ran from the house and was mistakenly shot. the armed parolee was killed, too. and a pair of boxing gloves are making a big punch. is making a big punch, in someone's wallet, that is. they were worn by muhammad ali.

8:16 am
>> witch -- rich saw the dog's sad story on facebook. unclear how a dog got on facebook. she sent her assistant and a private jet to bring lady to her home in florida. happy ending. >> she's a real lady now. amazing. what a happy ending. excellent. thank you, ron. you may remember the story about the most outrageous closet in the country. three stories high. 3,000 square feet. filled with the many possessions of a wealthy socialite. she calls it her female man cave, which sounds like a contradiction. now it's a crime scene. our gloria riviera is on the story. >> welcome to my closet. >> reporter: a temple to house the treasures of a texas millionaire fashionista. capturing the attention of newspapers and tv cameras. but it's what teresa romer says surveillance cameras captured
8:17 am
that has shaken her to the core. >> it's unexplainable. unexplainable. >> reporter: the surveillance video shows a solo burglar entering the three-story megacloset entering the closet from the first floor. while she and her husband were having dinner at a local country club. >> to watch someone on film take everything out of your house that means so much to you. >> reporter: the couple told police that the burglar made off with a mother lode of luxury items. diamond jewelry, rolex watches, fur, and birken bags. she spoke about her collection of bags with melissa rycroft a few weeks ago. >> when i started falling in love with these, i fell in love with this one right off the bat. >> reporter: the former texas beauty queen says she uses the room and her collection for charity functions. and that many of the items stolen were passed down to her. >> some of that stuff you'll probably never see again. it's just sad. >> reporter: the investigation remains ongoing. as detectives say the designer bag bandit was probably a
8:18 am
professional, covered head to toe in a jumpsuit and gloves. using a glass cutter to break in. leaving no trace behind. and no trace yet of her things. it was so smooth, authorities don't think it was an inside job. teresa says it doesn't matter how much money you have. the feeling of violation after a robbery is just awful. she says she and her husband apparently forgot to set the alarm. i bet that won't happen again. >> just one time, showing the dark side of fame. so many people walking into her world. but we loved that story. that's unfortunate. >> let's hope they have insurance. now to what we have been covering. one of the biggest moments in our "gma" colleague michael strahan's life. taking his place among football's greatest players in the nfl hall of fame. >> looki ining smooth up there always. the speech was quite moving. >> i predicted tears. i was wrong. the 34-minute speech was upbeat. full of memories, thank yous, and a lot of laughter.
8:19 am
>> michaelel strahan! [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: a phenomenal player. now officially a living legend. our very own michael strahan. >> this is not tv michael. this is football michael. >> reporter: dubbed the best all-around defender of his generation. joining the immortals of america's number one sport. the super bowl champ, sharing his moment with the family and coach who inspired him. >> he's the most amazing, amazing man. and more so than any of that, one hell of a father. i think it's no secret that tom coughlin and i did not see eye to eye. but we finally realized we both had the same goal. and that was to win. >> reporter: and his teammate who he learned to inspire. >> with you, eli, i learned, you don't have to be outwardly excited to go out there and whip some people on the football field, my friend. >> reporter: not shying away from the woman who will always be his mvp. >> mama, you know your baby loves you.
