at least 2,000 structures destroyed, including entire neighborhoods, shopping centers, restaurants and hotels. this was a hilton hotel complex. you can feel the intensity of the heat coming off it. firefighters are so strapped they're not worried about the flam flames inside, but they are worried about the embers flying out of it. crews forced to let homes burn because they didn't have enough water. >> we didn't have enough water, so the water supply is difficult. we have to let it burn. >> reporter: the fires erupted sunday night as strong so-called diablo winds pushed hot, dry air across california wine country and exploded in size, now well over 100,000 acres. when you look at this scene you get a sense of the explosions that this fire triggered. this engine block belonged to that car. the explosions flipping car after car after car. >> it's with sorrow that i t

would meander and bring a little wet weather but that's not happening. there will be a deeper dip in the jet stream, which will drop the temps and a little more moisture from los angeles to san diego. but still mainly staying dry. a little relief possibly as we go into friday, but even this little bit of an onshore flow will dissipate as we go into a drier weekend. and tensions with north korea may actually be rising after another show of force by the u.s. two bombers flew over the sea of japan in a nighttime mission and in an unprecedented move, they were escorted by south korean and japanese fighters. the mission came as the white house said the president and military officials discussed options to respond to north korea. and the supreme court has dismissed one of two challenges to the trump administration's travel ban. the suit from maryland took issue with the anti-muslim language of the policy. the white house said the case should be set aside because of a new version of the ban which takes effect next wednesday. the high court did not address a separate case from hawaii related to refugees.

they end up logging into computer and they may call dispatch at the same time he may have already started firing. >> reporte >> we have new images of items being removed from the home he shared with his girlfriend. authorities have searched the property twice. on capitol hill, bipartisan legislation was introduced to ban the bump stock devices used in the shooting. it bans the use and sale and similar devices that allow you to make a semi-automatic fire like a fully automatic weapon. meanwhile, a gun control group is suing the top maker of those bump stocks on behalf of the victims. puerto rico is facing a crisis. hospitals are in desperate need of medication and overwhelmed by patients. in some cases,

patients are not receiving needed treatment. half of the workers have returned to work. the death toll is growing, now 43. in the meantime, the white house is asking congress for $5 billion for the cash-strapped territory. first lady melania trump says she wants to be an advocate for victims of the opioid epidemic. >> she visited a clinic that treats babies born addicted to drugs. she says she wants to break down the stigma to opioid abuse. she talk the with a former user. and duchess of cambridge turned out with princes william and harry for world mental health day, she showed off her baby bump, looking amazing as always. severe morning sickness has kept her out of the public eye for a well. so fans are delighted t
