We wanna keep you posted here on a developing story out in California today. We have at least 4 major fires that are burning in central and southern California. The biggest one we were keeping an eye on is what they are referring to as the station fire .That's in LA County. It has ballooned overnight from a 5,000-acre fire to a 20,000-acre fire. People have been told to evacuate 1, at least 10,000 homes have been threatened. At least 900 homes we know of were evacuated 2 yesterday. But more and more people are being urged to get out of there. Weather conditions not helping 3 at all, actually firefighters are calling this "the perfect storm of bad" weather conditions that helped this spread.


 Also this in California as well, police now searching the neighboring property of Phillip, Nancy Garrido. Though, the couple charged with abducting 4 a girl in 1991, she was discovered alive just this past week. Investigators 5 say they are looking for evidence linking the couple to other opening cases in the area.


 Accusations of fraud could delay the official results from Afghan's national elections. Election officials tell our correspondent in Kabul that more than 550 complaints are serious enough to affect the outcome of the August 20th vote in Afghanistan. Now preliminary results show incumbent 6 president Hamid Karzai with a wide lead over his closest rival.


 Also watching this, 7 people found dead at a mobile home park in rural Georgia. Police are releasing very little information about those deaths. But here is what we know. Autopsies 7 have been done today to find out how the victims died. Now, 2 other people also found alive .But they are in critical condition. The police chief of Glynn County calls it the worst mass slaying 8 in his 25 years on the job.


 And another day off from the Sunday morning for the 7 astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. We are taking a look at the lift-off we saw just the other night. The crew working toward tonight's scheduled docking with the International Space Station. They’ll also continue their customary inspection of any possible damage from Friday's launch, so far they have not found any problems
