two fights on two fronts tonight. both concerning same sex marriage. in a small kentucky town, county clerk jim davis -- kim davis, i should say, stopped issuing same sex marriage licenses. she says it violates her religious beliefs. this morning, four gay couples who wanted to marry were turned away from the rowan county clerk's office. a federal judge ordered davis to get back to business but she refused. >> i was given a number and told to go to the judge around the corner. >> the couple was told davis is on vacation. davis says issuing marriage licenses to gay couples violates her christian beliefs and the constitution protects religious freedoms. in denver, a judge says a baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a same sex couple cannot cite his religious beliefs to refuse service. the colorado court of appeals called it discrimination. if he refuses again, he will

face a fine. the baker says she has no problm serving gay people at the store but baking a wedding cake violates his christian beliefs. we continue now with a story we have been talking about for a few days. here's a live look from nbc 10's new kitty cam. the camera sits inside a philadelphia animal welfare society appropriately known as p.a.w.s. we put this live stream up on nbc10.com and the nbc 10 app so you can see some of the animals we are trying to give new homes. we are calling it clear the shelters. nbc 10 is teaming up with dozens of shelters to find homes for pets in need. >> the delaware county spca workers are around these animals all the time but for one of their veterinarians that wasn't enough. >> nbc 10's drew smith shows us why she had to take one of them home. >> reporter: this dog has come a long way since the doctor first saw her at the delaware county

spca. >> she came in very sick, vomiting, very thin. >> reporter: her name is nikita. last year she came to the shelter emaciated and neglected and had swallowed a toy that needed to be surgically removed. after the procedure, the doctor took her home to administer intensive care. that's when her husband got to know her. >> i said we should, if she makes it, we have to keep her. she did make it. it was touch and go for a couple days. but she just got stronger and stronger. >> reporter: after this family adopted this dog, she is now fully healthy and helping this family and their son who has autism. >> i believe she's sort of like a healing dog to him because she gives him comfort when he's feeling overwhelmed or frustrated. >> reporter: his behavior can be difficult and his parents say nikita helps engage him better in social situations. >> even highly trained dogs sometimes can be reactive. she's not a therapy dog, not highly trained. she's just a good-natured dog.

we are just very fortunate to have her. >> reporter: best of all, the dog helps better connect this whole family. a four-legged friend who is definitely worth saving from the shelter. drew smith, nbc 10 news. >> cute, too. come out saturday, august 15th to welcome a new friend into your family. >> shelters will be offering reduced adoption fees in hopes of finding homes for the thousands of animals in local shelters. for locations and fees, tap on the nbc 10 news app and look for clear the shelters. you can also spend a few minutes looking at the live kitty cam. really, animals can be healing to a lot of families. sheena? >> yeah, that's right. i took a dog right off the street. she's the sweetest dog in the world. i think a lot of people will really like adopting a dog or cat this weekend, especially the entire day saturday, clear the shelters. we want people to really get out there and help save a life. you are not just taking an animal from the shelter but opening up a space for another animal to go in the shelter so

we want to really increase the adoption rates. either way, we are looking at warmer weather into the weekend as well, whatever your weekend plans are. hopefully you can make it out. warmer temperatures tomorrow than we are seeing today. heat wave in the forecast, too. around 90 degrees this weekend. we have several dry days along with that. so heat wave in the forecast with dry weather, it will be dry and hot. temperature today already got to 83 degrees or i should say only 83 degrees. our average high is 86. feels really comfortable with the low humidity. tomorrow, we will be closer to 87 degrees and by saturday, near 90. by sunday, 92 degrees. could be the start of our heat wave. mostly sunny outside right now. looking at center city, 83 degrees is the temperature. humidity is around 32% so feels really comfortable outside even as we go into tomorrow. especially tomorrow morning, some areas will be in the 50s. right now, we are only in the upper 70s for allentown, 77 in pottstown, 72 mt. pocono. 82, millville. 83 degrees in atlantic city.

so everyone is feeling very pleasant weather, especially for this time of the year. low humidity, dry conditions on satellite and radar. if you take a look back off to the west where the weather typically comes from, we really don't have anything on the way but more sunshine and nice conditions. for tonight, we're looking at clear and comfortable conditions. humidity stays low tonight. sky is clear, mid 60s, philadelphia. mid 50s area north and west. you could see that meteor shower again tonight. that's still going to be occurring starting around 10:00 p.m. and continuing through the overnight hours. tomorrow, sunny and warm, low humidity again. temperatures about the mid to upper 80s so still very tolerable even at the beach as we go into the weekend. starting with friday, upper 70s along the shore and delaware beaches. mostly sunny saturday and sunday. temperatures will be right around 80 degrees. looking pretty good. water temperatures in the mid 70s now. now we go into sunday for the eagles preseason game, it will be right here on nbc 10 pregame weather, if you're tailgating, low 80s. it will get a little more humid

over the weekend, nothing that will be as bad as we have seen in the past. but it will be more humid. kickoff, 1:05. temperature by then should be in the mid 80s. by the fourth quarter, low 90s. that will give us a better chance of that heat wave. going into next week, it will stay hot, mid 90s and then our next chance of storms doesn't really return until next wednesday. could you go broke on breakfast? here's what we're talking about. what's causing a big jump in egg prices and what experts say could raise them to $6 a dozen. plus new details from this explosive truck crash on the new jersey turnpike. how two stranded commuters came to the truck driver's aid after he caught fire.

there's a reason your omelets are costing more. egg prices are the highest they've been in 15 years. an outbreak of bird flu is to blame. the outbreak is concentrated in the midwestern part of the country. there is concern it will spread once winter arrives and birds migrate. analysts say if that happens, it could become a reality that you have to pay up to $6 for a dozen eggs. here's something you probably don't want to spend too much time thinking about as you sit down for dinner. one in every six americans will get sick because of microorganisms in our food. according to a new study by the centers for disease control, it

estimates 48 million people get sick from salmonella and other food-borne illnesses every year. turns out fresh produce poses the biggest risk. the cdc says most people don't even realize how sick they really are. >> most of those are people that aren't reported with illness. they don't see a doctor. they tough it out at home. >> the new study breaks down the risks by state and it allows states to focus on the problems they will face most often. speaking of problems, philadelphia neighborhoods had raised concerns about a nearby building under construction. >> now their fears have come true. nbc 10's doug shimell is live in center city with the story. >> reporter: the neighbors have made a chilling connection between this overnight collapse and the deadly market street collapse. that story coming up. a popular fishing spot he at the jersey shore suddenly shut down after alarming damage is discovered. >> it could have fallen in with people on it.

neighbors heard creaking, then a crash. this is what was left behind. part of a building collapsed on to a center city street and tonight, investigators are still trying to figure out why this happened. >> neighbors say they have been raising concerns for awhile now. nbc 10's doug shimell is live

outside that building on butler avenue. doug? >> reporter: we actually had to move back. they brought in a chipper, as you can hear, because they can't get conventional demolition equipment in here so they brought a chipper in to grind up the debris. l & i says this all started when a builder wanted to create a building that was bigger than he was permitted for. that was just the start of the troubles. two weeks before the deadly 22nd and market street collapse in 2013, israel says a contractor blocked his driveway with lumber for a construction project on butler avenue. >> that was griffin campbell. he was supervising that job. he handed me his business card. >> reporter: two weeks later, griffin campbell was thrown off that job after being charged with six deaths in the market street collapse. two years later on wednesday night, campbell's never finished 320 butler avenue collapsed into the street, trapping two renters

in the building next door. >> fire rescue came out and got my two tenants out of the building through another access through the church that faces 13th. >> reporter: neighbors say the campbell coincidence was chilling. >> the connection was very very concerning. i was very upset by that. >> reporter: all along residents say they had a feeling something would happen. >> it's been at the same stage for a long time. just the basic outline of the building. it didn't seem like anyone was really working on it for awhile. >> reporter: somehow, no one was hurt on butler avenue. >> can't build a building like this, not done properly, and exposed to the weather for all this time and expect it to not have issues. >> reporter: nbc 10 has been trying to contact the building's owner but no luck so far. l & i says they have a long history with this owner. they are trying to rectify and figure out how did it get to this point. live in center city, doug shimell, nbc 10 news.
