now four headlines at 4:00. number one, storm damage. we're going to take you there live. number two, if donald trump gets the republican nomination for president, could florida governor rick scott be his running mate? we're going to go to tallahassee to find out the odds. number three, this bay area school bus driver is mad. we're going to show you why it's fuming on facebook. and number four -- >> reporter: after 35 year, a brandon regional hospital director is stepping into retirement. well, sort of. i'll explain coming up.

i'm josh benson. >> and i am stacie schaible. this is first at 4:00. right now, we are finding more storm damage in the bay area caused by this afternoon's heavy rain and wind. >> it really came down out there. and all this time the tornado warnings in our area have expired. let's go to john rogers live in charlotte county. john, what kind of damage did you find today? >> reporter: good afternoon, guys. yourselves. i am here at luther road. you can see what mother nature left behind. look at this white fence, literally pushed down by this storm. and as we look over here, you can tell that these power poles are leaning towards the road, a number have been pushed towards this direction. a number of homes and apartments in the area are currently without power there. are power crews all along here, overseeing and replacing the damaged poles. and now over across here, you can see where the storm went through.

snapped branches. and then across the street over there, there's some homes with extensive roof damage. and so this is just one spot there. are actually a couple spots similar to this where we see buildings with roof damage and damage to cars and debris thrown about. i contacted the sheriff's and they say currently there are no reports of any injuries thankfully but mare know which you are left -- but mother nature left quite a mess around here. >> how are the people responding to that? >> reporter: yeah, i was here throughout the day. and sometime around 1:00, the clouds became very dark, and there were powerful rain and whipping winds. at that time, officials were telling people to stay in their homes. easy to see, very dangerous conditions out here. but thankfully, no varies as of yet. >> thank you so much.

now we want to get a look at the damage from the air. here is our photo journalist in eagle 8 hd. hi, paul. >> reporter: good afternoon, stacie. we are just east of i-75 and the damage is quite widespread. you're looking at a little block area. and if i push in, here's one of the houses. you can see how much damage there is to the roof. and if you follow with me, here's what i'm going to show you, take a look down here, these cars were damaged as well either from the falling trees or the wind. they are trying to figure it out. the power guys are out here too because the power is out in the area. they shut off the power. and here's damage to a house. and the storm which looks like it moved across this way because you can see more damage and below me, the power crews are already out here trying to get power back on. and these guys already have tarps on the house.

damage, this white house, the whole back of the house is gone and the screen porch is torn off as well. so the damage is quite widespread. unlike some of the other storms lately, here the damage is widespread so they'll have a lot of clean-up tonight. but from the air, you can really see the damage and the direction traveled across these houses. in eagle 8 hd, news channel 8. >> thank you. and it rained very hard all day, all over the bay area. this was just a few hours ago. it's a shot toward downtown tampa. this video taken from underneath the crosstown expressway. and now your first at 4:00 forecast. a lot of the action has pushed out of the viewing area. julie, you were watching this all afternoon and now thankfully it's over. >> you're right, josh. it was a busy day in the storm center. the storms started this morning and continued through early afternoon hours.

rotation and probably what looks like a couple of tornadoes that did touchdown. here's the cold front moving through. this is the culprit. the storms were ahead of the this front. so conditions now will be improving into the rest of the afternoon and this evening. and i know many of you, that's what you're concerned about, is there anymore rain in the forecast. hours and storm thes are moving out right now. and here's a loop over the last six hours and you can see the worst in our area actually in the southern spot, sarasota county and south of us near charlotte county. so we can take a close look at the rain that we're still dealing with but it's mainly southeastern highlands county. polk county dealing with a few spotty showers but things clearing out for us. and a look at the storm reports from today. a couple strong wind reports from pinellas county, a lot of us saw the heavy rainfall and the strong winds but we had a couple trainer reports as well. this one to the northwest. this was sighted from the area. it was a rural area, likely a weak tornado. so we are not expecting the

out and survey that but where you saw john rogers in charlotte county, there's where earlier today. and the national weather service is in progress actually heading out there to survey the damage and then they can decide if it was in fact a tornado and also what strength it was, ef- 1, ef-2, we can determine that. good news, things looking quieter, drier air pushing in and winds have picked up. while the storms have come to an end, we are expecting strong winds throughout the evening. and you can see gusts anywhere from 20 to 30 miles per hour. especially closer toward the coast, downtown tampa with gusts up to 30 miles per hour as well. and as we take a look outside, you can see clouds around but no rain at suncity center. picked up-40 earlier today. and expect temperatures to fall back quickly, going to be a windy night. and now that the storms have

the details on that in a few minutes. >> all right. thank you. we have a couple breaking news stories for you right now. first, clearwater police are looking for a missing child. someone stole a vehicle with a child this the back of the car. we will have more for you coming up at 5:00. and right now, more breaking news. three pregnant women in florida have now tested positive for the zika virus. all traveled to florida from outside of the u.s. in fact, right now, all of florida's 32 zika cases are travel related. governor rick scott is asking the cdc to the send 250 additional zika anti-body tests to the state of florida. and governor rick scott for president or vice president? >> that's right. scott is being mentioned as a potential vice presidential candidate if donald trump wins the gop nomination. we spoke with the governor about that possibility. >> reporter: rick scott is rumored to be on donald trump's short list should trump get the

his vice presidential pick. scott says he is focused on doing his job but he has sent signals that a trump endorsement could be in the works. governor rick scott made national news when he defended donald trump back in january in usa today. and then he became a darling of national talk shows. >> we need a big change. and donald is talking about it records. >> reporter: and now the former hospital executive is said to be on the short list of potential vice president candidates if trump wins the gop nomination. scott told us it's not on his radar. >> are you interested? >> i'm focused on my job. we have add 1,025,000 jobs. >> reporter: having two outsiders run for the top jobs doesn't make a lot of sense politically but 2016 is the year that political rules don't seem to apply. a pasco county school bus

warn other drivers about going around buss when they are stopped. a student was nearly hit the other day when a driver did not stop. she stopped on monday and she saw a blue car come around the right side of the bus. her student had just stepped off and she yelled for him to quickly get back on. she claims the car passed on the grass to get around the bus. >> eased on past, turned into the family dollar driveway and pulled into a parking space. >> never looked back to be like i'm sorry? >> no eye contact at all. >> nothing? >> nothing. >> she took down the license plate number and contacted dispatch but was told since deputies didn't witness the incident, there was nothing they could do. officials say drivers are reminded every school year to

it's the bay area road that drivers love to hate. gandy boulevard is a stop and go mess during rush hour. but a solution may be just around the corner. more on this case right over our heads. >> reporter: the idea of an elevated road on gandy boulevard is once again being considered for this busy roadway. some businesses and homeowners nearby don't love it. the idea of an elevated two- lane road above gandy boulevard is getting attraction. >> our solution leaves the local lanes for the local businesses and the local residents. >> reporter: opposition to the plan is resurfacing, from those who objected in the past. the civic association that represents homeowners and businesses nearby. >> keep in mind, this thing -- we only have congestion on that road for about four hours a day. >> reporter: 2:00 and >> reporter: 2:00 -- two and two, right? >> yeah, that's 20 hours a week. >> reporter: the time line

next year and potentially drivers using the lanes by 2020 but there's a lot that has to happen before that becomes a reality. news channel 8. forget passwords and thumbprints, find out how soon you can start paying with your face. and watch out for the flu. you have heard wash your hands and get the shot. but right now, those could keep you from getting really sick.

part of every day life. >> isn't that the truth. and now mastercard wants to use selfies to help prevent fraud. here's how it works. >> reporter: the company says selfies and fingerprint scans are safer than typed passwords. especially since many of the passwords are easy for scammers to guess. if you want to use your picture to pay, download the mastercard identity check app. it has you take a selfie each time you buy something online. your face or fingerprint will be scanned to prove that it's you spending the money and not a scammer. but you can't use the same photo over and over. mastercard makes you blink to show you are taking the picture as you shop. the fingerprint scan is easier, especially if you have a new iphone with the technology built in. but it's not just mastercard looking for ways to prevent fraud. with hsbc, you can use your fingerprint and voice to access money. and mastercard is researching

scans of your eyes to authenticate purchases. >> this could be the future of protecting online shoppers from fraud. the technology will be rolled out by the big banks over the next few months. and now for another look at the weather. we had all four of our storm team 8 meteorologist up there at one point because with threatening weather like tornado, not taking any chances. we want people to know what's happening. >> yeah, and this area in particular. we have seen multiple events. we have been talking about the el nio influence and that has a lot to do with it and why we have seen more rotation and tornado warnings. so a busy day. gone down significantly but we have seen some damage. and either 8 was able to overhead from charlotte county. remember this is just south of sarasota. see that.

we were watching strong rotation on the radar. and the national weather service is on their way right now and they'll be surveying the damage to determine what category tornado this was and confirming that it was in fact a tornado. it moved through just a few hours ago. we were watching this line of storms since this morning. and you can see the damage there, already some tarps up. and thankfully with any roof damage, we are looking at dry conditions expected the next couple days. but we just really hate to see things like that. and if you are wondering why we are on the air, it's because we want to keep people safe because tornadoes can do a lot of damage very, very quickly. for the rest of the evening for u just a slim chance of a few showers in the southeastern areas still lingering but what you will really notice is temperatures dropping quickly tonight. it's going to be breezy all night long. and temperatures back down into the mid-50s. so after a warm stretch, it's going to be chilly tomorrow "cbs this morning" with temperatures in the mid-50s.

right now, still tracking lingering showers in southeastern highlands county and sprinkles left in polk as well. but things starting to wrap up. just lingering cloud cover around. and here's a loop over the last 12 hours and you can see the line of storms roll through and really intensify into southern sarasota and charlotte county. that's where we had the multiple tornado warnings there earlier this afternoon. but thankfully this has cleared out now. and we didn't even have a -- and we did have a local storm report in northeastern manatee county as well. right now, temperatures fairly mild but the cooler air around the corner. 75 in lakeland and bartow. it's 68 in weeki wachee. and 39 in nashville. and 48 in atlanta. and yes, that cold air is headed our way. there's the culprit, this was

earlier today but it's pushing out. as the front moves away, the rain chances come to an end and we will be dealing with strong winds. and tomorrow morning, breezy northwest wind, a few clouds around, a lot of sunshine by the afternoon. but it's going to stay breezy and chilly with highs only into the mid-60s. a big change from what we have been seeing. waking up friday morning, even coldert. going to be chilly, temperatures in the 40s. -- colder. it's going to be chilly, temperatures in the 40s. and then by friday afternoon, still dealing with slightly breezy northwest winds and temperatures well below average in the low 60s. and saturday morning, it will actually be the coldest morning for us because as winds lighten up, that allows temperatures to saturday morning. temperatures definitely turning cooler again. we are below average for the 74. temperatures in the 60s all the way through this weekend. for the rest of the evening, a cool breeze develops but

storms is overwith for us now. so rest easy for tonight. it's going to be a quiet night for us. and tomorrow, not bad, just windy. so not a good day to be on the water but we aren't expecting storms and then temperatures cool through the weekend but at least some sunshine for the weekend as well. guys -- >> thank you, julie. while we are on the subject of your health, 8 on your side has some answers and wants to remind you that flu season in florida is well underway. if you don't already know someone has had it, chances are you will soon. it's already in several schools. health officials are urging people to get vaccinated. >> there's a lot of other things that we can do, get a good night's sleep, eat well, get exercise. when you're feeling bad, stay at home. keep flu at home.

40% will develop an illfulness the flu every year. about 36,000 people per year die from flu. and we have an update right now on that breaking news we just brought you out of clearwater about a missing 3- year-old. good news, the missing child has now been located. clearwater police were searching for the child after his mother's car was stolen but it turns out the child was never in the car. he was at a nearby day care. the person who stole the car and crashed it is in custody. again, that child has been found safe according to police. he was never in any danger but the mother is now facing charges. and coming up on first at 4:00, we're going to get a closer look at cooler weather moving in. and then this -- >> reporter: more than 90,000 babies later and a brandon regional hospital director is ready to retire. i will show you some of the work she has done over the last 35 years. also ahead, the nfl draft

now let's check on your here's dan lucas. >> nfl boys and girls. felt like. >> last year was a ton of fun. marcus, not quite as sexy of a draft pick this year but the bucs have some holes on the team to fill in the ninth pick so we're going to learn a bunch of names over the next few weeks. football fan, nfl draft junkie, they're going to get their fix because the nfl scouting combine is underway in indianapolis. and now the 40-yard dashes and other onfield activities have

already hard at work. dirk koetter and the general manager were asked about not only the state of the bucs with the coaching change but what the team can do to improve. and now he is a big fan of the combine, not so much for the physical skills and testing, he is more interested in meeting the prospects and beginning to establish a relationship of trust. >> maybe the number one thing from a coaching standpoint that we get out of the combine is a chance to talk to the players one on one. i think that's real important. jameis winston is a great example of. that we weren't the only team doing our homework on him. and it's great to get them not only at the train station with the coaches one on one but with the formal interviews with all the people from your club in there. >> all right. the lightning hit the ice this afternoon. owners of a four-game winning

in charlotte county. again, this system moved onshore and was reported to have done damage in both harper heights and murdock. again, this is northern charlotte county. here's' a look at the storm. a rotating storm with a possible water spot. you can see that on the scan, the oranges and the reds, that shows the rotation when you get a couplet like that. so it moved onshore in southern sarasota county. possibly some wind damage here but we really think there was actually a tornado that touched down in northern charlotte county. and then it dissolved as it likely. that's generally how things worked earlier today and now things quieting down but winds are picking up between 15 to 20 miles per hour. and we will talk about the strong winds and cooler air that's moving in your full forecast coming up. most everybody knows about system just floating around information.

make a difference. >> yeah. what a lady. and join us now, julie. and we had a busy day in the weather center today. yesterday we were talking about the potential for severe weather. >> and we got it. >> we sure did. everyone at least saw some rain and maybe some gusty winds but some places we did have multiple warnings earlier today. and actually, believe it or not, part of severe weather awareness today. >> fitting, yeah. >> today we are focusing on tornado. not hard to find videos of that this week. yesterday we had videos from pensacola. you can see some nasty weather there. and also a lot of damage coming out of louisiana from yesterday's tornadoes. this is part of the same system that brought the bad weather here today. and you can see the winds whipping there. the rain coming down. the southeast hit hard. and this has been a very active winter for us this the way of severe storms and tornadoes because, well, we're in the el nio year as well. so a look outside right now, clearwater beach, .50 of rain.

awareness week, this is fitting for us because only texas, kansas and oklahoma have more tornadoes than we do. florida ranks fourth in damage. we can see a lot of small spin- ups in the summertime months but in the wintertime months, we have to watch carefully. for us tonight, we can rest easy. the front is moving south of us and our storm chances are over with but we are concerned about strong winds. winds could gust over 25 miles per hour. not due to storms but just the air system moving in. the cooler air is going to be keeping temperatures in the 60s for the next several days for us. so for this evening, we're in the mid-60s, temperatures quickly dropping back today. and winds will be picking up this evening. and then as you wake up tomorrow morning, we're in the mid-50s which isn't too bad but when you factor in the stronger wind, you will want a jacket because we're not going to warm up through the day. beautiful sunshine by the afternoon hours but we will only make it into the mid-60s so still below average and it

tracking. this is what brought the severe weather to the southeast yesterday. for us, the severe storms earlier today. and thankfully this has moved through. and now behind it, the northwest winds picking up overnight tonight into tomorrow morning. so breezy and chilly to start off the day. a few clouds around. but by the afternoon hour, clouds clear out, sunshine in the mid-60s and then friday morning, it's going to be chilly. emoji man is getting ready with temperatures back in the 40s. you will need jackets back out and into friday afternoon, looking at highs 10 to 15 degrees below average. only into the low 60s in the afternoon hours. and it will still be breezy on friday as well. saturday morning, the coldest start to the day. that's because winds will be lighter and we have lighter winds and we can see colder temperatures and starting off the day in the low 40s. and 30s possible on the map. the next several days, looking

next week, we warm back up into the 70s. barely a chance of rain in the extended forecast. it's looking dry and sunny into much of next week. we will bring in the slim rain chances into the middle to end of next week. guys -- >> thank you. well, le navy yard owe -- well, he has a plus-size twin. >> and he has his own reality show. and do you see leo and him? >> reporter: hold your horses l oh,o. a 33-year-old russian security guard is living large as you. he is definitely a more portly version. nothing mini-me about him. >> he's leo's mega me. >> reporter: but his heart belongs to leo. the resemblance exploded on social media last month.

friday night, saturday morning. perez hilton captioned the real leo saying, i don't see it. and the twin replays, i do. and now the show called "remans." the tv show is a modified make- over. the look-alike does things like take voice lessons and consult with a dietitian. he hits the treadmill and undergoes cosmetic procedures to look more like leo. and his twin is crawling his way to fame. the producers even built a mock- titanic at a russian shopping mall. young women took turns posing with the pretend leo though the couples didn't get quite as swept away.
