Decoration contest. Love this every year. We have the winners out front. Weve looked at the third place bus. We will take you inside the second place winner, in this hour of good day philadelphia. And their theme, it is a small, small world. Wait. Dont show it yet. Pay your fare. Ahh. Well the best part sin side. Well take you inside in just a bit. First, traffic problems, boom. Big time. Lets go for a ride. Skyfox over the scene of overturned truck the cargo tito vodka. Well check these guys pockets too when theyre done this project. But they have to hand off load the entire truckload of vodka. It flipped over on the rap ups from woodhaven road, to 95, early this morning at around 3 00 that ramp remains closed, and it is causing a hot mess, in the great northeast. Lets go to the jam cams. 701, a live look, right now at this is woodhaven road, the southbound ramp to i95. So all traffic, that would typically go south into the city is actually forced to go north the opposite way. Got to go to up street road, flip the uturn laverne causing an unusual back up. So just traffic nightmare for everybody, if you are leaving northeast philadelphia, avoid woodhaven road, use academy road. That will get you down past archbishop ryan and back onto 95. If youre coming off the turnpike maybe coming right down the roosevelt boulevard stay with the boulevard and you can connect with grant avenue and that will get you back to 95. But this whole stretch between woodhaven again anybody coming out every woodhaven thinking theyll come south into the city, actually forced to go the opposite way up into bristol and then flip the uturns on 9a so gridlock at woodhaven and at street road, and we throw in a burlington bristol bridge opening along the way. Knew for good measure, knew. Little bit of everything in there, just make sure that the heat is working in your car cold one out there this morning, and we will gave you a seven out of ten as we get used to these colder temperatures bus stop buddy warm coat check mittens check hat oh flyers cap yes. They won two in a row now. Went chilled until the 20s and 30s waiting for the bus but at least seeing sunshine, official time every sunday rise with just few moment ago 7 09. With the 12mile per hour winds, 38 degrees, feels like 30. Keep that in mind. So High Temperature of 48 degrees. Breezy throughout the afternoon, with winds gusting to up 25 miles an hour, but even colder temperatures, mike and alex, coming up in the seven day forecast. All right sue, 7 03 now this thursday. Philadelphia police are on the hunt for a guy who they say was piking into a womans window bathroom window in manayunk. Liver with the details looking for this guy. Yes. They still are mike and alex. The woman tried to confront this man got alert how what took place. But he had gotten away. Thankfully because of her Surveillance System there is a lasting image we want to show it to you putting it up on the screen here, this is the peeping tom that police are now looking for. Doesnt he look familiar to you . Investigators are asking people in manayunk, to be aware of this man and call police if you see him around, or if you think you might know who he is. Police say these images are from sunday night around 11 45 p. M. , 100 block evergreen lane in the manayunk section of the city. The woman who lives there getting ready for bed. The surveillance zest tell notified the cup nel real time the person was lurking on their porch they tried to confront him but he was already gone. So northwest detective is shandling the case again if you recognize the man or if you noticed any suspicious activity in your area, call police. Mike and alex. So, ive seen commercials for that particular app on your phone. So when the surveillance lights pop on it, alerts you on your phone that somebody is lurking around your house . I think some of them do. I dont know the particulars. But what we heard from police is that they got the alert and they immediately ran outside. So they new that he was there. I guess something had popped up. And thats when they look at the footage and realized, yes, we have confirmation he was in fact looking inside our window. Ill be darn, yes you said she was alerted interesting thank you. 7 05. A double shooting sends two teenagers to the hospital. Now, seems like we keep doing these stories about teenagers and violence and ending up in hospitals. Ive heard you say that probably 40 times in this year. As we throw to steve keeley at the round house again. One of those alex probably remembers, when the Police Commissioner was talking to us about this subject, two weeks ago. Worse year ever, started taking stats at the rounds house for kids age 11 to 17, shot, wounded or killed. So you can add another 17 year old to that number now because police can only hope 2018 bridges change, armed violence among teens with a change in the calendar. Because 2017 now in it last days continues. Its worse year level shooting among the school age. Because the critical, nine hours ago shot up on 52nd street. Thats that Business Card there in west philadelphia. And in front of six different Businesses Police found bullet shells. At least ten. And at least two different guns, because the shells had different calibers, and, again, two victims because a 19 year old turned up at lankenau hospital, with a bullet wound to the leg this 17 year old shot in the legs and stomach and critical at last report, and hopefully since hes at penn presbyterian where they treat so many people for Bullet Wounds hell pull through and maybe get back to school soon back in 2018 and start whole new school year. Oh, my god. All right steve thanks. 7 07. Well here we go. This is getting a lot of attention, a nasty note scrolled in lipstick calling out a mom for parking in a designated disable parking spot even though she had a permit she found this note on her car it, says, youre not handicapped. You can see the sticker inside of the letter u. Hanging from her rearview mirror. She said her son suffers from rare condition called battens disease. Garrett, became blind, at age three, and now hes losing his motor skills to a disease that usually ends in childhood death. And then you have this happening . Trying to make member miss for my family. I want the person to realize what they did was wrong and to learn from it and not do it again. The mall is helping Upper Merion Police with their investigation into this, they say theyre gathering Surveillance Video that may have captured the incident. Youre responding on twit they are morning because i brought up in the last hour, is there another side to this story . I know there are people that try to protect disable drivers. And when somebody who doesnt need the parking space illegally parks in there it, but she did have a sticker this woman but i dont think i dont know that a wheelchair anything like it was involved. Because the mom can walk. Right. So, one viewer wrote, she said the woman who wrote in lipstick was actually looking out, we dont know woman or man, but looking out for people who are disable not well thought out but definitely not meant to cause the mom any pain f she sees the story she might apologize. Then on twitter john says you can get a handicapped plaque armored tag for Family Member with a disability thats in your household it, doesnt have to be for the driver. True. Maybe that could be what it is . I know someone like. Then kristen says my farther is a heart patient and he has that parking plackards and can he walk and he doesnt look disable. Other people have no right to make that judgement. You never know what people are going through. True, reminder from tony, lets make sure were seeing the person with the disability, not hand i capped. Right. Exactly. I apologize for that. It could be a disable person who needed this spot who saw a woman walking and get out and then start walking. But you dont know what people are going through. Right. A person with a disability, you cant just assume. And there is not one way how it should look. So but i see what you are saying some people, trying to make a point and stick up for them. Dont take that spot. Somebody needs it. And were assuming because it is lipstick that it was a woman. But it could have been a man can i borough your lipstick. We dont know. Oh, so many things in 2017 to try to understand. 7 10. Embattled minnesota senator al franken will make announcement in washington today. Oh wait a minute. They said that yesterday too. Well, they said hes going to make it today. Also said well, ya. It look like it was eminent yesterday afternoon. Because a lot of people are coming out calling for because he didnt say what kind of announce. But saying theyre hoping this will be a resignation speculating, and this is of course a mid the whole growing Sexual Misconduct allegations. So al franken lost support when a seventh women now came forward accusing him of inapropriate sexual behavior. Senator franken denies the allegations, of this particular one but some colleagues say the time has come for him to step aside at this point we got lets see at least 32 Democratic Senators 13 of them women, 19 men, for al frank tone resign. It probably will happen within hours. 7 11 almost. Well, shear what people are saying here in our area. Pennsylvania senator bob kacie, took to twitter saying. I agree with my colleagues who stepped forward and calling senator franken to resign. We cant just believe women when it is convenient. Also, delaware senator tom carper weighed in saying al franken has been a friend to many in the state republicans, democrats independents alike but these allegations are deeply troubling specially as the number has grown, i believe it is time for him to resign. So watch for that any moment, minute when we hear, we will let you know. Lets get back out to Southern California finally this wicked wild fire is about three, four of them out there. This morning the state of emergency is in effect for most of Southern California. Because of the high winds dry conditions massive wild fires, 300,000 people out of their homes. This video has really been going around everywhere. But it is important to know that there are several different wild fires going around not the same one but this one is in bellaire. Or near bellaire. Near bellaire. This 405 freeway is in los angeles county. If you have ever gone to los angeles, and you lever the airport and you have to get to the san from nan dough valley take 405, one of the busiest interstate in the world this is by ucla. Westwood.

Do you know where that camera is . This is kt tv, sister station in los angeles. This could be anywhere. From los angeles, all the way up north near Santa Barbara. I think thats why this is so concerning, becoming such big story. Because it is what more than 100,000 acres at this point . Oh, yes. That looks like this. It is in flames. Okay. So we have in Ventura County we check in with you yesterday, and getting a update. Because it seems like it is getting worse . Reporter yes, were not quite in Ventura County. About 20 miles north of los angeles, one of the four command centers for these fires, four raging right now. And the winds are starting to pick up quite a bit. Thats what firefighters were fearing. Expected to be the worse theyve been all week long today. Now, lets take a look at the video. We will talk about the fire that were you referring to in just a second. But i want to tell you about the biggest fire right now. Thats the 90,000acre thomas fire in Ventura County touched down on vacation county of ohoi nor of us, that fire has already torched 150 homes. Now, earlier this week, embers from that fire jumped over the 101 freeway. Almost almost touching the passive irk ocean. The series of Southern California wild fires also hit the heart of los angeles, this is what you guys were just referring to. The fire shutdown stretch of the 405 freeway, one of the busiest freeways in Southern California. During rush hour, out of all times yesterday. Nearly 500 acres charred the Hollywood Hills near the getty center. Homeowners of some of the most Expensive Properties in the entire country were desperately trying to save anything they could with garden hoses. Now, four homes in that fire were destroyed. Dozens more were damaged. Now, over in sill mar the creek fire grew to about 12 acres and the rye fire in Santa Clarita now 7,000 acres. Now, the good news, there is not a lot back out live is that all these fires are at least 5 contained. One of them, nearly 10 contained. We send it back to you in the studio. Thats a positive, 5 , 10 my goodness. All right thank you. I know that chelsey handler, a lot of celebrities liver in the area, the 405 fire, she left her home, Rupert Murdoch has vineyard up near Santa Barbara. Thats about half of it is gone. 300,000 people, thats bigger than a lot of towns. A lot of people. Right before the holidays. And to lose everything. It is a mess. Coming up clock 15. Well today is National Pearl harbor Remembrance Day marking 76 years since the attack. President Franklin Delenor Roosevelt then asked for a declaration of war immediately delivering this unforgettable speech. December 7th, 1941, a date which will live in infamy. So more than 2,000 americans were killed during that sneak attack by the japanese. A ceremony will be held today at the world war ii memorial on in hawaii. But also, we have a ceremony here. I mean, throughout our area. Including a board the battleship new jersey, across the river. Tonight, 24 veterans will be presented with the Camden County Service Metal at the oakland American Legion post, that begins at 7 00. But during our show today just off of that battleship, that we can see from our tv station, theyre going to have a flyover. And hopefully we will capture it on cam are live. I believe we will. A fly over. That will be special and have a ceremony and stuff be sure to share that with you. I believe throw a wreath into the river. We will try to show that to you, bob. Sounds good. 7 16. Rough go here. Folks could still be stuck on 95. When we do that flyover. Here is a live look, overturned truck happened about 3 00 this morning on the ramp from woodhaven road, to go south on 95. That ramp remains closed, lets roll video from skyfox. We pulled up over the scene. The cargo as we all chuckle loaded with vodka. Somebodys got to do it. Hand offload that entire cargo, one box at a time. Into the waiting tractortrailer. That will will take couple of hours before they even try to upright the big rig, and get it all cleaned up. As we come back to our cameras here again all everybody thats coming on woodhaven road instead every going south into the city forced to go north up toward street road and make that uturn, and thats causing gridlock, between woodhaven and street road here between northeast philly and bucks county. Your best bet academy road or the roosevelt boulevard to avoid it, otherwise the turnpike slow going into valley forge. The blue route slow going from broomall down to 95. Even 422 slow going, from the curb in toward that king of prussia interchange. For the gang coming in from new jersey your normal delays here on the freeway as you work your way in the black horse pike up to approaching the walt whitman bridge. Now, the vodka is chilled this morning, because it is kind of chilly watch do we got 37, sue . Feels like three out there with the windchill. Er. So cold one. High pressure build untiling. But we have to watch this cold front, came through yesterday because it stalled just off shore, and it could factor into our weekend weather because it will stay pretty close to the coast. Thats happening now. Not expecting any rain in the forecast for today. But check out what might be happening for tomorrow. As we head into tomorrow morning, we are not looking at any precipitation around here, but look down in mississippi louisianna they could be getting some snow tomorrow morning, while we are nice and dry. But as we said, we have to keep an eye on this offshore storm to see how close it actually comes to the coast. So far the models are keeping it off shore. But we will see what happens. So yes windchills that are below freezing this morning high of 48 degrees. Later on today, 42 for tomorrow. And even colder, over the weekend, maybe not even making it to 40 degrees on sunday, it will be quite blistery then with all of the cold temperatures sooner or later we will see some snowflakes, maybe on tuesday morning. Well, if i have a choice ill choose later. Okay. Absolutely. Out to fourth and market. Septa in the middle of their holiday decorating season. Yes, they decorate the buses in a festive way.
