You saw a few of the folks in those lines had umbrellas with them. The rain has been falling across the area. Lets get to cheep meteorologist doug kammerer. How long do you think this is going to stick around . For the most part, this is all moving out. It will continue to do so. We do have shower activity to Southern Maryland.

Amtrak has taken responsibility for the derailment in may of last year. The crash killed eight people and injured more than 200 others. Those injuries range from catastrophic like a man who was now paraplegic to people who suffer emotional trauma. Damaged beyond repair. Were hearing the man who says hes the one who smashed it.

He admits he used a sledge hammer and a pick ax to e destroy the billionaires star, which trump got in 2007 for the apprentice. He was trying to extract the star so he could auction it off and raise money for women who a have accused donald trump of Sexual Misconduct. Im not sad that i did do it. I decided to admit that i did it. I will take the punishment and hopefully will be over. Unlike mr. Trump when he does something wrong, he does not admit to it. Their screams. People like to be scared. The owner of the freakishly scary 901 nightmare in south carolina. He and a group of ghoulish friends say fear can be fun. I love scaring people and the reactions and the laughter and just everything about it. Fear comes naturally to humans. We have been running away from threats for millions of years as a basic survival mechanism. Towards scary Haunted Houses . That has to do with our genetics. Some of our brains are just needing a little more thrill and neurologic tickle. Its this thrill that tricks brains into thinking being scared is a real treat. Two things happen. The brain triggers our natural fight or flight response. At assessing risk, realizing almost immediately that spooky situation doesnt pose any real threat. Even though i know hes just a nice guy, its still freaking me out. It gives you that huge rush of adrenaline that people love. Just remember even freaky characters like this, they are just real people clowning around. Erika edwards, nbc news. What do you say . Do you like being scared . Do you do the Haunted House thing . I u do the Haunted House. I have to be honest. If i take my younger kids, i dont know who is holding on tighter. But daddy never scared. Everything is fine. The Haunted House is this weekend.

Katy tur will join us live with how donald trump may be trying new things. Domestic violence can affect any couple or any family, someone who we can trust with the Nuclear Codes country are safe. Teaming up with 12 days to go. Now at 4 30, Michelle Obama teams up with Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail in North Carolina. Its the first time the two have campaigned together. Donald trump is holding three rallies in ohio. One of the mustwin states for his campaign. Live pictures from toledo. This afternoon he was in springfield where he went after to play this fast and loose with their enterprise when they werent in the white house, just imagine what they will do given the chance to once again control the oval office. Welcome back at 4 30 we are here at the decision desk and joined by katy tur, who has been covering the trump campaign. Just how close are some of the state polls and what would say. The state polls are pretty close for the most part. Donald trump has held a lead in ohio, but it does seem to be narrowing at this point. Ohio is an absolute must win for donald trump. Every republican president who has made it to the presidency and republican candidate has won ohio since abraham lincoln. This is a state that he needs to get in his column if hes going to but also North Carolina, florida is pennsylvania are mustwin states as well. Things are tight in what is deep red arizona and deep red utah. Mike pence finding himself needing to spend time in utah in order to find a way to galvanize voters that seem to be getting over towards mcmullen, who is a republican running as an independent for president in that state. The strategy right now, though, possibly can. As you said, donald trump is holding three rallies in ohio. Its notable that there were volunteers canvassing the crowd for early voting or for voter registration. This is something that the campaign has not been so great at on the campaign trail. And this might be a problem or a factor. Because of the lack of cohesion between Trumps Campaign and the gop in oh do much of the ground game effort. This is a problem in ohio because there was a disconnect there. That seems to be what could be contributing to the fact that there arent volunteers helping with the prospects. We have been watching the first lady in North Carolina it imploring people to go vote for Hillary Clinton. Do you get a sense that the campaign is going to put melania or other surrogates out there in the next 12 days . Campaign trail. He did so this morning. Seemed to come as a surprise to her even as she said she was considering it. He said she will do it. Shes not somebody we have seen on the campaign trail all that much. Certainly not alone. To give two or three speeches would be quite a big deal because shes not been the most comfortable person on the campaign trail. English is not her first language is politics is not something that would be in her future early on. But this is to the trump family. Shes an important voice for donald trump. Especially right now when hes facing so many allegations of Sexual Misconduct and groping new allegations seem to come out almost every day. Were up to 11 accusers now. Having her as a voice to defend donald trump would be quite important for him and for the Campaign Going forward. They have a huge gender gap. They need to find a way to mitigate. Well see if we see her on the reporting on nbc nightly news. Storm team 4 radar, some wildly u scattered showers. What does that mean . Most of us are completely dry u. Plenty of clouds out there if if youre in Charles County around the fredericksburg area u. Still some rain here. Notice the brighter colors on the radar. The yell e lows and oranges have some heavier rain out there. But most of going to be dry from here on out. You can see as you take a look at your evening planner, were at 62 degrees. Plenty of clouds around act like a blanket. We see temperatures around 60 degrees. We start to dry out around 9 00 this evening. Theres a big d. C. United game going on. Doug will take a closer look at that forecast in the 5 00 hour. But before we get there, well talk about how the weather is going to impact your weekend the about 4 48. Nbc 4 is work for you as we continue shining a spotlight on Domestic Violence all this month. In a campaign were calling safe at home. Today we lock at some of the unique challenges for those in the Lgbtq Community when it comes to reporting Domestic Violence and getting help. Dedicated to Domestic Violence. Shes also executive director of the Family Justice Center in Prince Georges County. Also youll see a hot line phone number at the bottom of the screen in case you need to call for help. The perpetrators of Domestic Violence often use control tactics to overwhelm their victims. Is that any different in an lgbtq relationship . Thats an interesting question and i would say not really. While we think about Domestic Violence, tra dulgsly in quite frequently. And they use the same tactics. Its really not about gender or sexual orientation. Its about power and control. So many of the same tools are used such as isolation, withholding funding, controlling behaviors. The difference, however, is the element of outing. Thats generally the main piece thats used in homosexual or same sexla theres a fear that the controlling partner will out the other to let family children know sometimes that the nature of their relationships and that is a problem. And is there a difference when Law Enforcement responds to situation where the couple is is lgbtq . There are gay men that have expressed concerns about police reporting. Issues ranging from just not something other than Domestic Violence. I u think i read something it was stated that they were listing this as mutual combat. We never want to
