| 0:37.4 | I'm going to begin with the dangerous weather, including the tropical threats off both coast. Ginger, you know, she's following the hurricanes and where we could see impact, and dozens of fires are burning in the west. Trevor Alt starts us off near the fire zone there in California. Good morning, Trevor. |
| 1:13.0 | Good morning, Robin, and getting a look at the damage here on the ground is pretty staggering and especially heartbreaking because this is a historic area here in Chinese camp.
