minneapolis, 98. kansas city 94. that intense heat is going to be coming our way in the next few days. tonight, partly cloudy and muggy. becoming mostly cloudy. we could see isolated thunderstorms

boats are gone. a fifth boat is almost completely destroyed and you have the pier here at the washington yacht club. look at this back here. you can actually see how much of this dock is going to have to be replaced. so in total, we're talking almost a million dollars in damage. >> i saw a cloud billowing that wasn't really a cloud and i couldn't make sense of it. so i came out to look and see what it was and it was flames coming from the boats. >> jeffrey taylor was sleeping on his boat when the fire broke out around 3:00 this morning. >> what would happen if you didn't wake up? >> i don't want

investigators to figure out what caused the fire. >> i'm going to have a drink other than this bottle of water that i'm drinking right now and i'm going to sit back and get my thoughts and emotions together and start thinking about finding and buying me another boat. >> now another problem, you see this boom that has been set up around the yacht club? it was set up by firefighters because the

neighborhood kids, but the widespread nature of the attacks now may suggest something else police say. >> so really right now, we don't want to close any doors on this investigation. we really want to leave them all open and looking at all of our possibilities right now. >> only good news in all of this is that an alarm interrupted the latest attack at 2:40 in the morning. school security was out
