headquarters. >> also, a fire powerhouse. >> the whole canyon is going blow up. we'll be screwed. >> california on alert and on fire. a massive unpredictable blaze doubles in size over the weekend. we're live from the front lines and you're live in the cnn newsroom. good morning. thank you so much for being with me. i'm carol costello. six people still missing after another wave of violent storms in oklahoma. this time el reno. 39 miles from moore. in the bull's-eye. a look inside the storm. this semi no match for friday's tornado. neither were the hope hopes, schools and churches in its path. now many forced to start over. >> there is really nothing left much of anything. >> and despite the much weaker than the storm that hit moore, this one was just as deadly, already 16 died in the state of oklahoma including a family of lee from guatemala who tried to wait out the tornado in a storm drain. three storm chasers also among the victims. tim and paul samaras along with carl young, the truck they were chasing the storm in now smashed to pieces. meteorologist chad myers joins us from el reno, oklahoma. chad, you were chasing the storm yourself. this has to leave you -- this has to have you kind of scared? >> reporter: i was crying yesterday morning. i just couldn't believe we lost these men because they were the safest guys out there. there were searchers yesterday in the fields. we went back to the location searching for the camera because there is some circumstance, there is something out there that we don't know about why they got themselves in trouble. did they stop for another crew, was there a problem with the car. they should not have been where they were. they should not have been caught up. they were plenty far ahead of the storm. so were we. we were six miles ahead of the storm. it changed direction. it went left and then it went right. so people could have been caught out. and for a while with this tornado, it was wrapped in rain. hard to see just a tornado in the middle of a big rain shower. think about you standing in a shower with a curtain all around you. you can't see the person in the shower. it's like a rain curtain around the tornado. this tech center is a mess. the kids were going washing on this plane, work on planes over here, as well. not going to happen now. a lot more work i'm afraid. we talked about how this plane has really no chance because it has wings, it will fly and how cars have no chance, as well. my friend and person that i live in the same condo complex with, mike bettes, got caught in the storm. and here is what he thought about when they asked him are you going to do this again. >> what is it that you thought about when you were up there? >> reporter: mike was asked what did did you think about. and he said i thought about my wife and i don't think i'm going to do this anymore. he said i think i'm going to retire. that's a veteran of dozens if not hundreds of tornadoes. in fact mike was one of the first people on the scene of the joplin tornado years ago. he has a dog from that storm named joplin that he brought home from the storm as a rescue dog. mike's a good man. and he got shaken up by this very difficult storm. >> of course you guys are meteorologists. you do it in the name of science. but if you go online, chad, there are a number of companies who actually invite people to go storm chasing with them for a price. >> reporter: yes. >> i was stunned because it's not something people should do. >> reporter: it's not something you should do near a major metropolitan area. we chased tuesday, wednesday, thursday and we were miles -- in western oklahoma, you can see 50 miles down the road. you can see them coming. they're dry out there. there is not as much rain. they don't wrap in rain like they do lear. plus all of a sudden you have an interstate with cars that are stopping. stoplights. you can't chase through a city. we see the vans they lit literally are vans that drive down the highway with 10 or 15 people taking pictures out the window of the tornadoes. and a van is toppy. you get a good gust of wrend in the same thing will happen that do to the semitrailers. people do it for the thrill, the shot, some people do it for money. it's not something you should take whitely. we stay plenty far away. 7, 10 miles away from the storm when we can. and then you have to have somebody navigating, too, because you can't get yourself on a dirt road. dirt roads turn to mud roads. mud roads turn to nothing. you can't get anywhere. and you don't want to be on a mud road when all of a sudden the tornado is coming to you. a lot more to it than a pickup and noaa weather radio. >> you come on home. you're my friend. just come home now. thanks, chad. >> i'm trying. as the sunrises over california, we're getting a clearer picture of the dangerous wildfire burning out of control. the fire exploded in size yesterday reaching a massive 25,000 acres taking six homes with it and threatening thousands more. what's worse, firefighters aren't even close to getting it under control. it's only 20% contained. meaning it could rage on for another week. stephanie elam is live in palmdale. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, carol. yeah, they're estimating they will be able to get full containment a week from today because as you can see there is a lot of wind out here. and the crews are still coming in as you can see right here trying to get a hold of this angle of the fire which is still very active. >> two, one -- >> reporter: by air and land, a full scale assault ons massi ma wildfires raging out west. more than 1,000 are battling the powerhouse fire about an hour northeast of los angeles. the unpredictable fire doubled in size over the weekend forcing the mandatory evacuation of nearly 3,000 people and leaving about 1,000 homes in danger. >> we have 15 homes that were damaged, six destroyed. >> reporter: but the los angeles county fire department says these numbers could have been worse if not for their around the clock air assault. >> we have put everything that we have into this, including night air attack from the forest service, three l.a. county fire helicopters dropping water at night. and one l.a. city fire helicopter dropping at night. >> we are the only region in the world that does that. >> reporter: and in new mexico, firefighters are working to contain two raging wildfires fueled by historic drought conditions. it's chaired more than 7400 vague e acres and forced evacuation of summer homes, campgrounds and hiking trails. >> the smoke has never been this close and never been that big. >> the whole canyon will blow up. literally the local canyon will blow up. we'll be screwed. >> reporter: back in california, firefighters hope mother nature whether le will lend a helping hand. >> we're supposed to see a decrease of the winds and increase of relative humidity. >> reporter: and now that we have the light of day, we can see that the fire is burning right across the road, is still burning on this side here. and just to put it in perspective how old some of the brush is, they said in some of these areas, it has not burned since 1929. >> wow. stephanie elam reporting live in palmdale. learning the cupid shuffle on your dime. the scandal rocking the irs just got bigger. at the center of the latest controversy, excess spending on hundreds of conferences to the tune of millions and millions of taxpayer dollars. ♪ >> their dream, to become the next great dance sensation. this is their story. >> yeah, this newly released video shows some irs employees learning how to do a dance called the could you pupid shuf. it was one of two videos that cost about $50,000 a piece to produce. they were used in a 2010 conference in anaheim, california. here is the other one. it shows irs workers spoofing star trek. that one came to light a few month back. and a third video parodies gilly began's island. dan lothian is at the white house. and the acting irs commissioner makes his first appearance before congress today. won't he have fun. >> reporter: i know. he certainly will face a grilling. and that's only one of three hearings expected here in washington this week on the irs verse zl ci controvers controversy. this is not letting up and driving a lot of the criticism is darrell issa who believes the trail leads right back here to washington. for the first time we're hearing what irs workers in cincinnati are telling congressional investigators about why they targeted conservative groups. republican darrell issa on cnn state of the union. >> as late as last week, the administration's still trying to say there's a few rogue agents in cincinnati when in fact the indication is they were directly being ordered from washington. >> reporter: issa released just partial transcripts citing and ongoing investigation. so the full context isn't clear. in one excerpt, one worker quotes a supervisor, he told me that washington, d.c. wanted some cases. and when asked about take your getting tea party applications and whether those directions emanated from washington, the worker replaies i believe so. >> "i believe so." totally not definitivdefinitive. >> that one isn't. >> reporter: the top democrat on issa's house overitem committee called his claims reckless saying so far no witnesses who have appeared before the committee have identified any irs official in washington, d.c.. issa says more interviews and transcripts are coming. >> this is a problem that was coordinated in all likelihood right out of washington headquarters and we're getting to proving it. >> reporter: but two democratic sources complain issa released the excerpts before making them available to democrats, what they say is supposed to be a bipartisan investigation. the sources tell cnn the excerpts are taken out of context and issa's claim they indicate direction from washington is misleading. they say their impression was the workers were talking about consulting with tax attorney specialists in washington about how much political activity is acceptable for tax exempt status. ♪ >> to the left. three, four. >> reporter: issa is also going after irs spending saying the agency wasted $50,000 on training videos like this newly released cupid love shuffle. >> i'm receiving incoming report there is the landing party. >> reporter: and on an already notorious star trek spoof. the videos shown at one of 225 irs conferences between 2010 and 2012 costing $50 million. including $17,000 for a speaker on leadership through art at a 2010 conference in anaheim. issa says one worker stayed in a two bedroom presidential suite that normally runs $1500 a night. representative issa also took a shot at white house spokesman jay carney referring to him as, quote, their paid liar, accusing him of making up things that happen at the irs. carney had no comment. >> but david plouffe did one of the president's men. he sent out a tweet, strong words from mr. grand theft auto and suspected arsonist. and he's talking about issa. >> reporter: this goes back many years. again, i should investigation just accusations that he stole a couple of cars, that he burned down a building. so it's gotten quite nasty. white house itself not getting involved in this, but plouffe who once ran the president's campaign was a top adviser here at the white house, no longer here at the white house, but what he says does carry a lot of weight. so i think everyone is paying attention to these comments that he made in a tweet. >> getting a little childish now, isn't it? i mean, complaint an't we just what happened some ? no, that would be too simple and logical. >> that's what they're doing with the hearings. a lot of lawmakers in general who still have many, many questions and they're hoping that these hearings can produce some answers. >> we hope so, too, because they're also using taxpayer dollars. new week and new month on wall street, but investors are hoping for some of the same results. al wlis siclisoison kosik is on the new york stonck exchange. >> historically stocks tend to go lower in may and continue through the summer. but that didn't happen. you look at the track record, s&p 500 and the dow for the month of may, they're up 2%. the nasdaq doing even better. up 4% in may. and the dow is on a six month winning streak. it looks like investors didn't want to miss ut on the rally. looks like the same spirit going to happen today in about 20 minutes, dow futures are up about 70 points. as for this week, the focus will be on jobs. several jobs reports are coming out. and then the biggie, the government jobs report comes out on friday. the expectation is that employers added 164,000 jobs in may. that's in contrast to the 165,000 added in april. so even if those numbers meet, it still means the labor market is still moving along at a sluggish pace. >> all right. actress angelina jolie said she is happy to see the discussion expanded about women's health sparked by her decision to undergo a gubl mastectomy. the oscar winning mom of
