"i know people always say it will pass, it will pass. it is getting worse and we are seeing that it's getting worse. the storm surges are worse, the tropical wind speeds are worse, the rainfall numbers are worse. please don't find any excuses to do this. there's not excuse to risk your life. there's no excuse to risk the life of your family members." hurricane matthew's landfall is expected in melbourne, florida tomorrow morning. let's check in with fox five's chief meteorlogist ted pretty with the latest on the storm. we'll be closer to the average high of 85 on friday with 83 in the afternoon. we'll be warmer with more clouds on the weekend..86 saturday, 89 sunday. slight chances of showers move in on monday with a high of 89 degrees. clouds hang around on tuesday with 88. we'll then see fewer clouds and highs in

thursday. the clark county school district is calling it an "epidemic." reports of "killer clowns" -- threaten schools across las vegas. fox5's adam herbets found out... now kids have gotten hurt because of all of this... but not because of the clowns themselves. (nats) it's getting to the point where every time our phone rings -- we're hoping it's not another call about creepy clowns. parents think it's scary. and the man in charge of keeping the clark county school district safe is calling it an epidemic.

getting calls. just probably as many calls as you guys are getting, we're probably getting double that. this is widespread even as far as canada now the rumors in the schoolyard have caused more damaged than the posts. at leavitt middle school -- someone thought it would be funny to pretend their was a clown on campus. it caused a stampede... 6 children were hurt... and one of them had to go to the hospital. parents have to make a decision -- do i stay at work? do i go and pick up my kid? police say it's not easy on their end either. most of these posts -- aren't technically considered threats... because there's nothing illegal about a clown saying it's going to show up at a school... unless they promise violence when we get back to the bottom of the information, there was really never a threat even if a clown did show up on campus... that's not illegal either. freedom of speech. it has to be worse than that... to bring out the handcuffs.

have chased kids... that have battered kids... have been seen with guns police say because they take every report seriously... their resources are thin... but -- what about the people hiding behind their keyboards? there has to at least be a digital footprint right? police say that's true -- but so far they haven't been able to track anyone down. the people that are doing this are very smart. they're very computer savvy. coming up. it's not friday yet... but we sent five's dave hall out today for a field trip! we'll show you how a small town is celebrating an incredible talent on the field... and the court. and... the southeast braces for the powerful hurricane matthew... we'll take you live to daytona beach where they're already feeling the impact of the

tomato or nevada or ( donald trump mispronounced the state's name at a reno rally yesterday... and told the crowd the "right" way to say it. what nevada

as a marine combat veteran, i understand the sacrifices our military makes. our benefits are earned, and we rely on them. politicians like joe heck should understand that. narrator: joe heck voted to shut down the federal government, risking critical services for nevada veterans. and during that shutdown, heck continued cashing his congressional paycheck. t back in dc, joe heck is putting politics before nevada.

narrator: vote vets is responsible for the content

i think my strongest asset, maybe by far, is my temperament. i'd like to punch him in the face, i'll tell you. i would bomb the [bleep] out of 'em. i could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters, okay? and you can tell them to go [bleep] themselves. get him out of here! get him out of here! get the hell out of here! priorities usa action is responsible for the content of this advertising. two billionaires, spending millions to buy a senate seat for joe heck. smearing catherine cortez masto with ads called "bogus," "highly misleading," and "false." as attorney general, it's cortez masto who held banks accountable and helped nevada homeowners. and governor sandoval praised cortez masto's dedication to fighting sex trafficking. don't let joe heck's billionaires fool you. catherine cortez masto

i'm catherine cortez masto and i approve this message. is it nevada or neh-vah-da? donald trump mispronounced the state's name at a campaign stop in reno yesterday. fox5's eric hilt spoke with nevada historians -- who say people have been saying it wrong ever since nevada became a state. it was the nevahda heard 'round the world "nevahhhhhda" ...or at least 'round the state. "it's not nevahda its nevada!" "it trips me up a little bit, i want to correct them" "its nevada. you gotta flatten out that a, push it through the nose, nevada, not nevahda." but donald trump didn't get that lesson before taking the stage at a rally in reno "nobody says it the other way, it has to be nevahda, and if you dont say it correctly it didn't happen to me, but it happened to a friend of mine and he was killed" the presidential nominee did get one thing right -- nevadans take the pronunciation of

very seriously. "it doesnt really bother me i just want them to know how to say it!" "the first time they say nevahda, somebodys going to jump and they're going to say no its nevada" even if that person is a us senator like elizabeth warren...who was cut off during her speech in las vegas on tuesday. "coming to nevahda is personal for me (crowd yells) you're right im so sorry!" historians say this is nothing new. but if you want to get really technical, trump nevada comes from the spanish word for snowy which is nevahda... even still... the local way... is the right way. "the number of people who mispronounce nevada are legion......that's the standard mispronunciation" and that mispronounciation isn't going anywhere anytime soon... "is it really worth this much excitement? no not really, but it's something that you want to make everybody feel like they're part of the group and you want to make sure they know how to say

the state's official tourism organization stylized the name of the state as "nevda" with a breve ( ) mark over the a... indicating the locally preferred pronunciation so when it comes to our state -- it is and always has been nevada. sometimes traveling in the car with kids can be a nightmare... especially when they bicker throughout the ride! we'll show you what one creative dad made to put an end to the backseat fights. up next on more access! as hurricane matthew churns toward the florida coast tonight... we reveal how hollywood could take an unexpected hit from the storm. and it's cirque du soleil like you've never it. the immersive new experience that just

and from absinthe -- melody sweets performs in our gibson showroom! its all next at 6:30 on "more access" i'm one of the lucky ones. i had breast cancer, but they caught it in time. there are many women who depend on planned parenthood i'll never understand politicians like congressman heck, who tried to defund planned parenthood. he was even willing to shut down the government over it. heck was opposed to roe v. wade and tried to criminalize abortion. that's just shameful, it's just wrong, it doesn't help anybody. congressman heck does not share my values.

there's the nevada way. work hard. play by the rules. pay your taxes. and then there's the danny tarkanian way. ousands in property taxes. ordered by a judge to repay $17 million in a failed development scheme. worse, tarkanian refused to pay it back, sticking taxpayers with the bill. the danny tarkanian way? the wrong way for nevada.
