all right. let's take a look at the weather elsewhere as well. stormy along the east coast, with hail and dangerous winds, new england to d.c. as far south as the carolinas. light rain from south dakota into nebraska and kansas. showers from seattle to northern california. more record highs from texas to colorado. >> triple digits in phoenix and colorado springs. just 60s in the northwest. 80s from fargo to chicago. and baltimore. well, storm debris in another corner of the country is still being cleaned up. hundreds of volunteers spent their weekend at a flood-damaged minnesota zoo. the worst flood in duluth history deluged the city's lake superior. a dozen animals and barnyard exhibit were killed. a polar bear and two harbor seals escaped. the zoo's director is grateful for all of the help. >> it's humbling. and it's -- it is almost unbelievable at first. even though you see it, you still can't believe it. >> they're hoping to have the zoo open again by july 4th. a nice bit of irony there.

to battling these, all of these fires. eight fires in colorado to try to get them contained. they think there is 45% containment. >> my goodness. all right, lots of serious questions being asked why part of the shopping mall collapsed over the weekend in northern ontario, canada. at least one person is feared dead. more than 20 were injured in saturday's collapse. emergency crews have stayed out of the structure because it has been considered unstable and they're expected to enter this morning. and a section of the mall's roof crumbled. left behind a 40 x 80-foot hole there. as the new era begins, egypt's newly elected president is supposed to meet with the country's powerful military council today. mohamed morsi, the winner of egypt's first free presidential election in cairo, but it is unclear whether he will enter into a power-sharing agreement with the military which basically stripped the president's office of most of its power just last week. the supreme court could release two major rulings as early today.
