evocative. it was dark. there is still power out to almost half a million. there's still standing water, and in some places some got hit in worse water levels than katrina. in other places, it really was a category 1 hurricane. but they are now saying this region leg see this type of level of this storm for every seven years. for the poor people in plaquemines parish, what are they demanding? or what will they be demanding once this water recedes? >> the geography of this place, there's kind of a ring of protection, and that's what so many taxpayer dollars have gone to to fortify, but then plaquemines is the outlier. it's a long, thin county or parish that goes down south from almost the city limbs down into the gulf. it's just switchy, marsh, bayou, and they're more or less on their own they. if you listen to the folks here that talk about how much land they're losing to erosion every year, the future does not look sunny. >> brian, thanks so much for taking time out with us. we

at this point? >> you might say monday is kind of looking 50/50, but i'm not calling it a washout just yet, wendy. let's talk about those rains. a look at storm team 4 radar. we had it would take days for the rains to lift out of here. even some showers and thunderstorms the bigger rains, that depression, that low, while the storm system is unwinding, you can see the showers extending through kentucky, even through areas of tennessee. saturday, there the showers move in, and sunday i think especially for the afternoon, monday right now, yes labor day we're talking tropical showers around our area. we're still days out, so it's hard to tell exactly where the heaviest rain will be setting up, but we are talking about the possibility of some rain at least 50 to 60% chance, don't go changing your plans just yet, but we are looking at at least some rain, 885 a high on saturday, 80 on monday, so again best chance of rain will be on monday, the latter part of this weekend. >>

the beach is a fine area to go to. why not? certainly it will be nice. you want the last hurrah in, right? outside today, we had temperatures plenty toasty. if you want to wait for them to cool off before going out, we'll be dropping down to the mid 80s. a clear sky now, it's been toasty warm. in fact today was our hottest day since august 5th. we got up to 97 degrees, we're now at 96. west winds at 10 miles per hour, and again low humidity. the dew point temperatures under 60 degrees, so we are comfortable, but but this upcoming weekend we're going to move into slightly humid air, and then into very humid air as those temperatures rise, 55, 69, and steamy. the tropical air, yes it will be moving and coming in from isaac. the numbers across the area, down toward fairfax, falls church, we're at 95 right now in huntington. good afternoon to you. so for the overnight period, we're clear, we're starry, we'll get a few clounds tomorrow morning. temperatures 75 to 76. it is going to be turn more humid. you can see the early part of the showers around cincinnati, the bulk of the rain as the storm system starts to under wind, some moderate, heavy rain into missouri, around illinois, even been some isolated flooding there. what we're going to see this upcoming weekend is a weather front push in to help squeeze some of those tropical rains our way. and around the shenandoah valley. that front warrick out around us, and better chance foss shower on, but month carries the highest possibly. in the tropics too, we're keeping an eye on two storm, kirk, it's a hurricane. it will move northeast away, probably heading toward the uk and down to the south. it was likely to make it smooth. by the time we ghent to the next week that's tropical storm leslie. that's the one we'll keep an eye on. humidity creeps upward. by tomorrow morning, slightly humid, 70 to 75 degrees, and today we hit 97. tomorrow a little cooler, or ishl say just not as hot. 88 to 93. a bit of rain, and higher humidity tomorrow. even though we are going to be cooling off for sunday and monday, i can't stress enough how tropical and steamy it is going to feel around here. even though we cool off, it would be a little uncomfortable. the beach may in fact be a great place to go. >> let's go crash tony. he'll be glad to see us all show up. >> we'll make him buy. hey, this

to trump this beautiful night at nats park as the team is getting said for game 2 with the defending champions. the shockers, that nard jackson has been spanneded indefinitely for his third violation of league substance abuse policy. so stay tuned for more information about that. two, the heartbreaking, on this the final day of cuts, and the shocker is tim hightower has been released. this has been such a shock for the media, too, because -- and the fans, we've been talking about hightower as being a lock. he's been sitting out most of the preseason a blown niece took him out of the lineup. he did return in preseason game 3 this years versus the colts and picked up 28 yards on five carries. his first run in that game, late second quarter, an explosive 18-yard gain. it looked like he had returned to form. he doesn't even dress for the final exhibition game. everybody assumed, again, he was a lot. bad assumption, apparently. hightower is the biggest surprise. he's not the only one. we'll have more at 6:00. now to the nationals, steve strasburg is not the only pitcher people are talking about. another guy making headlines because of what's expected of him this draw drew storen, about a month and a half back from his elbow surgery which he had in april. he's finally looking like the same guy who saved 43 games last season. we had a chance to catch up earlier today. >> i'm getting there, you know? i don't know when i'm going to be back. you kind of go out there each time and it gets better. so i don't know. if i keep getting better, i'll be happy. each time, like i said, i take a step forward. i feel comfortable out there. so i knew that was a big step forward. >> a lot of pressure in that situation, a number of analysts have said your simper has more movement, your weapons in your arsenal are even better. how is that possible? >> i don't know, maybe some flexesibility. it has a nice present to have for missing three months of the year. i guess i'll take that in the end, but it really feels good. we'll see how it fans out. >> you've proven you're an effective closer. how do you compare the roles? is there just as much pressure in the eighth as the ninth? >> a lot of times the game is on the line in the eighth. just like i watched cliff do it last year, he locked down a lot of games and i came in and podished everything up. the hitters' approach will be different, but other than that, the appreciate i put on myself is all the same. >> tyler clifford must be one of the happiest guys, that you're doing so well and are back. i know he doesn't want to give up your job. do you want that job? will you be satisfied in the reliever, in the setup role? >> as long as we're winning, it's fine. that's so much more fun. closing last year was fun, but it's much more fun to play for a winning team. all that stuff will take care of itself. for us, our friendship and all that stuff, it doesn't matter. it's not even something we talk about. it's part of the job, and we go home, and have a good time. it doesn't really matter. >> reporter: they've been winning, two in a row. he said his goal is to get out there four or five days in a row. back

from isaac remain in some communities, thousands throughout the gulf coast will spend the labor day weekend cleaning up. here we are shutting the down on august. the second warmest day of the month. as we pan around the area, not a cloud to be found, but we're not going to be able to hang onto this gorgeous weather all weekend long. we'll see some clouds move in, and then we're talking about tropical air, and unfortunately some rain, too. right now temperatures throughout the area are plenty warm. to the north, right now at 95 degrees. wee see the mercury go down into the low 80s. it will be a nice evening. there's a look at your high tomorrow, another hot one, but the rain west of us. we'll leek at the seven-day forecast outside. back to you guys. >> a large apartment fire left more than nine people injured, including five firefighters. it was an especially close call for one firefighter who found himself trapped trying to rescue a woman. derrick ward spoke to that woman. he joins us live with the details. >> reporter: good evening. we're here in the 3300 block of huntley square drive. i want you to look behind me. you can see the remnants of that fire that blew through here last night. five firefighters and one civilian were hospitalized, but it is the bravery of that firefighters and of the victim that he rescued that got them both alive. >> we heard a woman say, hey, it's hot up here, help me help me. >> the fire started in a terrace-level apartment kitchen. patrick climbed a ladder up to the woman's balcony. they could barely see and the woman could barely breathe. it was all he could do to use his radio. >> i'm with the rescue. she's alive. above the fire floor region 2. >> i just told command i'm going to start sharing my air with her. i took the regulator off my mask, and started sharing my air with her, and basically it free flows, so i put it right up to her mouth. >> each individual firefighter must make that personal decision, but i think everybody on this department would do the same thing. >> reporter: between breathing, he talked to the woman to help her stay calm, but the apartment was about to reach a flash point. the carpet had begin to bubble from the heat. he was met by even more smoke and flames. i closed it. said a quick prayer, god help me get out of this. >> it was super-heated air and gases that rushed out of the apartment up into that stairwell. >> reporter: it drove those manning the hoses back. they both needed rescue themselves. >> it was going really bad really quick, and she was screaming, she was crying. she was telling me my feet are burning. i knew she was being hurt, and that really broke my heart. >> reporter: and the air was running out for both of them. >> i was sucking thick nasty hot black smoke. >> reporter: miraculously the others got to them. both hospitalized. they both came out alive. >> once i made contact with that lady, i really kind of like connected with her. i was like, i said to help you, i'm here to help you. >> reporter: now, again, four people in all were rescued. firefighters found out. when the alarm was pulled, actually two were pulled, none of them worked in this building, so firefighters came back today and have issued an order that that has to be repaired. the investigation into what started that fire, which actually started in that terrace level apartment. that remains under investigation. we're live in temple hills. >> a dc mash han sentenced to 33 months for crimes related to an online prostitution ring. fbi officials and montgomery county

over the last four years. we have an update for you on a story we reported yesterday about that controversial digital sign outside a church in vienna, virginia. fairfax county has now decided to dismiss the code violation. that's according to "the washington post." the violation was issued last month when the sign revealed more than two messages a day, which is against county rules. who knew? but late yesterday, the county said the church can change the message as often as it needs to within reason. the rules involving message limits for all electronics in the county, they're about to be reevaluated. the change of heart comes one week after the church filed suit against the county. after being offlimbs for two years, the reflecting pool in front of the lincoln memorial is reopening. the pool was closed for a $34 million reconstruction. the fences that kept the public away better taken down this morning and the public was allowed to return. >> isn't that beautiful? >> it really

in the sky overnight. anncr: it'll start out as concrete and steel... but it'll become so much more. a new world-class resort casino in prince george's county. two thousand construction jobs to build

staples. where else can you find scotch eggs and samosas. that scotch egg is the size of a soft wall. it's an egg wrapped in pork sawing answer, everything rolled in spanko. a lattice of thin fried potato distinguishes the snack from the usual pub grub. the soft samosas can't compete with the beauties of the downton, but a tamarind sauce accompanies. i rarely order cha cutery boardsian more, but this is excellent salami, cured salomon, duck prosciutto, and pickled vegetables. we end of leaving most of the leathery cod on the plate. vegetarians are in for treats. one is a salad of heirloom tomatoes, with a minty fresh yogurt dressing. bread pudding is a time honored way to use leftover bread, but also a sweet finish to brixton. think near street foot with some swagger. work off a meal

president. we need to keep going with his plan. president obama: i'm barack obama and... i approve this message. get ready for lots of street closures in downtown baltimore. the grand prix is rolling through the city. there's going to be a lot of action tonight, huh rob? >> reporter: you're exactly right. there's a lot of action right, not as i speak, but in a few minutes, 30 seconds or so, you'll see them coming by. this is pratt street in downtown baltimore, one of the main streets. imagine if you will you're in washington, d.c. and cars are zooming down with the indy cars at up to 150 to 200 miles per hour. matter of fact, those are the speeds that the indy cars are cruising down through the streets of baltimore city. this will be the second annual 2012 grand prix of baltimore. a lot of the streets are closed, but this year -- this is the second year -- things are moving smoother. you have a lot of fans, the stands up here, all along the street. you can see how it is built up, like a tunnel the actual racetrack. cars will be coming around in a few minutes racing on the streets. it gets loud, it is fast, it is exciting. so if you like racing -- here they well. >> reporter: there's

isaac, at least for the most part, with all that damage, we're tracking leslie, because it will move close to bermuda, by the time we get into the latter part of next week. there's a look at your seven-day forecast. i had to move off the grass, because the mosquitos are biting. >> thanks, veronica. >> you bet. so why don't public school buses have seal belts? why did the route numbers change on the fairfax county parkway, and should consumers be concerned about radiation leaking from your friday? we're going to ask liz all these things. >> thank you. the first question from denise. why don't public school buses have seat belts? >> good question. the national highway traffic safety administration filled us in. it says that seat belts are important for keeping people safe in passengers cars and trucks. while the government does allow seat belts on large school buses, it does not require them. that's because large school buses are heavier and handle crashes differently, so experts design buses using a concept called compartmentalization, that means padded energy-absorbing seats spaced closely together to create com parts so children are protected. >> i was going to take your badge off. we always end up on the air with those things. that would be the question. you can't get in any door without using that badge. we are so locked down here. >> sorry. >> our next comes from a viewer name lisa. why did the route numbers change from 7100 -- i remember that one, to 286. >> we turn to the virginia department of transportation for this answer. it says the route nim better changed from 7100 to 286 because the road was changed from a secondary room to a primary road earlier this year. as a primary road, the parkway can receive federal funding for pavement improvements and other prosdwrekts. roads can be considered for primary road status if they meet the majority of certain criteria like carrying a minimum traffic volume. the prince william county parkway and springfield parkway also became primary roads earlier this year. >> i just want to know that the lady on my gps is up to date, knows that and isn't going to tell me to take a route on 7100. >> just figure out where you are. >> well, that's different. our last question is from a viewers name jennifer. she had some issue with his her microwave oven. can you tell if it's leaking radiation? >> well, the food & drug administration gave us this answer. it says there is little concern about excess microwave leakage, unless the door handles, latches or seals are damaged. in the fda tests most microwaves showed little or no detectible leakage. if you think there might be a probable obviously contact your manufacturer or state health department, and a word of caution about devices that claim to test the radiation, the fda says don't buy them. they're typically unreliable. all right. well, have a nice weekend. >> and i'll take my back with me. >> so you can get out of the building. up next, the latest on a deadly shooting inside a supermarket. up at 6:00, a trust the church volunteer is in trouble with the law. police have shut down a popular nightclub in the area. meals say a former marine in old bridge, new jersey started shooting inside the store where he worked, killing two people. as pat battle records, the night manager may have saved lives as employees hid from the gunman. >> they all came rushing in. it was like something on tv. >> the sight of s.w.a.t. teams in the predawn darkness is simply surreal to those who watched the scene unfold and sheer terror for the dozen or so employees when former marine terrence tyler capes in literally with guns blazing. >> i believe everybody was as a whole targeted. >> tyler left the store after an argument with a co-worker. authorities haven't said as we went back to the apartment or out to his car, but he came bang with a vengeance, started shooting even before he got inside shattering the front
