"newsroom" starts right now. good morning, everyone. thank you so much for joining us, i'm don lemon in for carol today. we'll begin with new concerns about flooding in areas where they have already been inundated. national guardsmen have been called out. a body of a 4-year-old boy swept awhy by the floods has been found. while the search for his mother continues, a section of interstate 34 has been closed due to the flooding and 200 families have been forced to leave their homes. >> i want to cry! that's all i can say. i want to cry. i don't know, i never had to deal with anything like this. >> i grabbed clothes and diapers. and that was it. >> we've got friends that they lost everything and that's their homes. their house have floated off foundations. >> live to kenneth ramsey emergency management director for the county in missouri. he joins us now by phone. 200 families have been forced to leave their homes. give us an update on the situation there. what are you guys doing to help out? >> we've had very few people in various counties have to leave their home. most of them were upriver from mary's county. we've got some shelters available, however, they have not been used yet. the river effectively cuts mary's county totally in half. you cannot get from the east side to the west side of the county. watt going a very long distance around probably over an hour's trip just to go from one side of the river to the other. the river has dropped a little bit overnight and our major concern at this time is that we have 400 gravel roads in this county and over 400 low-water crossings, which the western side of the county is basically 85% damaged and the eastern sides have very, very limited, very minor damage at this time. >> you're saying it is hard to even get, to see, you know, all parts of the county. you have not been able to get out or have you to assess the damage and to see if you have any more injuries or possibly deaths because of this? have you been able to do that? >> we've had no death reported. we had some very minor injuries reported. and in the last 24 hours. but, basically, most all the highways close to the river are totally closed. >> everything is totally closed. do you have any indication of when they can come back up so you can help these people? >> really can't. we have to wait for their water to go down. >> yeah. all right, thanks very much, mr. ramsey. we wish you all the very best and we'll be thinking about you and from too much rain to not enough. a drought in the western states prompting concerns of a record-breaking fire season. today we are following a fast-moving wildfire raging across southern california. it has grown to 6,000 acres in just one day. hundreds of firefighters backed by air units are responding there. cnn's stephanie elam with the very latest. good morning, stephanie. >> good morning, don. yeah, talking about a fire that started around 2:00 p.m. local time yesterday. it hasn't even been 24 hours that this fire has been burning and now the fire line is about eight miles long. i can tell you about 1,000 firefighters that are in there fighting and there are also 15 structures that have been damaged. we don't know how many of those are homes and i can tell you that two firefighters were injured and one civilian also injured from what we understand it could have been pretty bad injuries, but we don't know for sure how bad they're doing. i talked to one woman yesterday who was evacuated and she paints a picture of just how close it came for her to get out of her house. take a listen. >> the fireman helped me bring out pictures and stuff and then i couldn't get to my purse and my medication in the back bedroom and they wouldn't let me back in. they wouldn't let me go get it. i told them, please, i can make it in a minute. no, you just have five minutes. we'll take care of everything. get in the car. get in the car. >> and that's what she did. she actually spent the night in her car to be with her bird because she couldn't take it into the emergency shelter. just staying there because she didn't have any money. she didn't have her credit card or i.d. lots of people evacuated. 1,500 people out of their homes. they don't know the status. we heard from a few people who don't know about their animals. as you can take a look at the fire behind me now that dawn has broken here. you can see the smoke is still very heavy heading out towards palm springs and that is making it hard. because you can see it's still really windy out here, don. it's cold. that helped the fight overnight. they're hoping to get the water ships in here and drop water and help from the ground and the sky. >> still not over yet. stephanie elam, thank you very much. you know, more help could be on the way for relatives of some of the arizona hot spot firefighters. a bill being drafted in the state house would grant additional benefits to the families of 13 of the 19 men killed in june. those firefighters didn't qualify for certain benefits because they were seasonal employees and not full-time. according to the arizona republic, all the families will get a one-time payment of more than $300,000. well, this morning an amber alert blankets oregon as a search for a suspected killer and a missing teen grows more desperate. it is now been four days since crews found james dimaggio's home in flames and two bodies inside. dimaggio has been missing ever since. along with 16-year-old hannah anderson. one body is confirmed as her mom, the other is likely hannah's 8-year-old brother, ethan. today the search intensifies as a vigilant public scambles for help. miguel marquez in san diego with the very latest now. miguel? >> good morning there, don. we should say the officials here are still trying to do dna on the two bodies in there. they know that the mother, they can make identification on her, they're still trying to make a complete, positive identification on the child's remains that were found in there. there are no other reports of missing children. so, it is likely the body of ethan in there. but the family is holding out hope and these two credible and possible sightings up in oregon and northern california have given this family a lot of hope that this thing may come to a somewhat happy conclusion. >> several states on high alert this morning after possible sightings of the blue nissan driven by james dimaggio. the man suspected of killing a woman, possibly her son and then abducting her daughter. both sightings on a remote stretch of road. the first in california and then hours later a possible sighting in neighboring lakeview, oregon. police on high alert scouring the area for any signs of dimaggio, 8-year-old ethan anderson and his 16-year-old sister, hannah. friends and family tell cnn that dimaggio developed a worrying relationship with 16-year-old hannah in recent years. angelina a friend with the andersons has kids hannah's age. >> from what i understand, hannah had a crush on a boy. i don't know if they were officially dating. that's something that my girls would know. i know hannah did say she was creeped out when jim told her he had a crush on her. >> reporter: hannah told her friends she didn't want to visit dimaggio any more. the last time they were seen alive was saturday afternoon. they left to spend the night with dimaggio, a long-time family friend at his home 50 niles away in boulevard, california. ethan was supposed to be at football practice 8:00 a.m. sunday morning, he didn't make it. later that night, dimaggio's house was set on fire. now, the other thing that we don't understand yet, don, is how long it was between the deaths of the individuals in that house and that fire. so, in other words, we don't have any idea how much of a lead on investigators or those looking for mr. dimaggio. how much of a lead they had on him. even though these are plausible and credible sightings up in northern california and oregon, they're asking people to keep watch everywhere across the country, even in mexico and into cr canada because they're not sure they'll pan out to be anything. a lot of hopes this week and a lot of dashed hopes but they're hoping, this family putting everything they can into hoping that hannah is okay. don. >> we wish them well, thank you very much. news about your car safety now. the honda civic earns a top safety rating in a new front end crash test. well, that test by key insurance group looked at how 12 new small car models fared when they got hit outside their main structural zones. along with the sieving, the dodge dart, focus, the hien day elantra and scion ic performed well. but several models did not. the worst performance being nissan sentra and the kia forte and soul. i think it's the forte, right? >> you got it right the second time, don. so, we're talking about small cars here and they really are big sellers on the market. but there's one highway safety group that says the way manufacturers are making some of these small cars, it leaves drivers really vulnerable to some serious injuries. that same group crash tested a dozen of these small cars and here are the results. it's this type of crash that happens on u.s. roads thousands of times per year. watch closely. not quite a head on, but what the insurance institute for highway safety calls overlap frontal crashes. where part of the car's front end strikes an object. the group says some popular small cars on the road don't make the grade in overlap crashes. 12 small cars put to the test. the honda civic received the top grade. the head and chest of the test dummy was protected. the airbag released on time and the structure of the car did not cave in on the driver's side. the kia forte performed the worst. >> the structure collapsed. we've got the restraints not doing a good job of controlling the motion of the occupant. >> reporter: the group says manufacturers have built cars to best absorb impact in the center. take a look, a more head-on impact on the left and an overlap crash on the right. the damage much worse in the overlap crash. >> so, as manufacturers redesign their cars, they need to try to figure out ways to provide better protection for the people inside. >> reporter: along with the honda civic, the dodge dart, ford focus, honda elantra passed the test. the volkswagen beatle, nissan sentra and kia soul all performed poorly. >> all right, well, if you have one of these cars the group says, don't worry too much. even though half of them performed poorly in this particular crash situation, they say that does not necessarily negate the overall safety of the vehicle. now, we did reach out to the automakers of those vehicles that performed poorly and they tell cnn that their vehicles, they exceed the federal requirements, but two of those companies, specifically, nissan and vw plan on reviewing the results of the recent crash test. don? >> rene marx, thank you very much. you know the linkedin request that pile up in your e-mail. if you're looking for a job, you might want to start answering them. more and more recruiters are turning to the social network for candidates and they could be looking for you. alison kosik at new york stock exchange with that story. so, alison, many people, i'm sure me among them. all of these requests. does anyone every look at this recruiter, you say, yes now? >> i say yes. a big yes because if you're looking for a job that the thing you need to do is get on linkedin and keep it updated. what's happening is the social networking company is completely transformed how people find work. you look at these companies. they're not waiting for you to come to them any more. it's become this hunt where they're looking for you and this is really been the big trend over the past five years. it really is astounding. 77% of companies use social media to recruit people. back in 2008, only 34% did and here's why. they actually are looking for passive candidates, meaning people who aren't actively looking. they're really looking to go in, look at somebody's profile and poach you from the company that you're at right now. and it basically gives the company that's looking for people, it gives them more options. in fact, 238 million options. that's the number of people who are on linkedin. but then, of course, you have the flip side of this. for the 11.5 million people who are unemployed, it means there is more competition out there because those people may not have applied if they weren't approached. so, you look at how this breaks down. where companies go to to find candidates. "a," they go to linkedin first. second, they go to facebook and third they go to twitter. that's a lesson for many people on facebook. take the pictures off. linkedin is taking this to the bank. their stock almost tripled since its 2011 ipo. >> did you say take the naked pictures off facebook. >> you can't get a job with a naked picture on your facebook page. >> i appreciate it, alison kosik. still ahead in "newsroom" a violent crash caught on video. a speeding truck slams into a tour bus and sends passengers flying. you'll never believe what happened to the driver.
