The olympic torch was set to pass through that city today. That had to be canceled in the wake of this fire. Were also getting new video of two devastating house fires two days before christmas. Chopper 4 was over this fire last night. It was so intense, part of the home collapsed. You can see dozens of firefighters responded to the scene to try to put it out. We dont have any word how it started. Looks like most is from the back of the house. Were waiting to learn if anyone was inside after it started. Soon taaffe, chop 4 flew to this fire. It broke out on brink road that had no fire hydrant Montgomery County fire said when they arrived, the flames were coming out of that roof. Look at these pictures from Montgomery County fire.

Reporter things are starting to pick up here at the American Airlines counter. When we spoke to you last, actually when we got here it was ten minutes after 4 00 or so. The overflow line for the american ticket counter was about here. This is where it started. Now, take a look at how long it is. Its still early, folks. Only about 5 00 in the morning. Were seeing this kind of activity. Were expecting the crowds to build, of course, as the day wears on. So this is going to be a very, very busy day. People need to keep that in mi biplane. Today is the busiest day so far this week. Also, were expecting big crowds on tuesday as well. A couple of things to keep in mind. Get here early. You have to wait in these lines once you get your boarding pass, then you have to go into security. Make sure that you packed appropriately so it doesnt slow you down at the security checkpoint. The rule of thumb is give yourself two hours. You should be able to get through. Of course, this is an airport with lots of amenities. You can have a cup of coffee, get some food and you can see all of the people taking that advice getting here early and getting where they need to go. In terms much delays, up on the board, not much of anything. Things are running smoothly at this airport. Weve got weather in some places to keep an eye on in terms of delays. So far so good.

When the clock is ticking, as it is, on christmas and youve been procrastinating, your only option might be to buy a gift card. What do you do . Do you choose cash or go with the gift card . Heres news 4s justin finch to weigh in. What do you think . Cash, cash, cash. Almost everyone has a preference. I say cash goes just about everywhere. But a gift card limits you to certain stores, perhaps your favorite stores. So we asked shoppers which way they were leaning and why. I prefer giving gift cards. Why is that . It feels like ive put more thought into what i got for the giftee. If i just give cash, might come off as lazy. A gift card, i think. Yeah. You think thats more thoughtful. More thoughtful . They can pick out what they want to have. Gift car because i try to think of what stores the people would actually like so they can go to them. Cash is more impersonal. Okay. So most of the shoppers we spoke with were trending towards gift cards. I, however, did do an unofficial online twitter survey. 60 of you are on my team and you prefer cash over the gift card. Now, overall, gift card people say theyre thoughtful and easy. As i pointed out earlier, they can be regifted. Now, another big surprise here. Coming up, i was under the same pressure myself. I went out with just 100 to buy thoughtful gifts for all three of you. On your mark, get set, go. All right. I hope you used 90 of the dollars on me and the rest for molette and sheena. Let me tell you something, you will be surprised. I started to feel the pressure. I was out there, the clock went. I had just a l i love you all so much. I had to make it happen. With some help, we did it. As you can see, i hit the stores. Molette was the toughest one to shop for here. Okay. I really spent time on you. I wanted function and form and pink or green. Of course you did. Probably both. Impressed. You know what always works, when you go out and you buy like a 20 gift for somebody and they end up spending like 100 on you. That can happen. Right, sheena . That can happen. Ill buy a cheap bottle of wine and replace the label. Im waiting to see exactly how much youre going to spend on me. Dont you worry. Its a lot. Its a lot. Dont you worry. Thats when you run to the atm and get out an extra. [ laughter ] im going to keep quiet because i know justin has Something Special for me. My gifts are priceless.
