outrage. >> you didn't report to the parents. you didn't let anybody know that in june or july, you didn't let nobody know that you were going to do repairs? >> the extreme measures parents are now taking to protect their children from a dangerous situation here in the bay area. good evening. i'm jennifer leigh. >> i'm keith cate. thanks for joining us tonight. we'll begin with the latest track on a tropical disturbance that could impact florida. it's called invest 99 and our storm team 8 track on it. >> we can follow a model trend that likely continues to be more westerly today. it's hard to put a forecast track on something that's kind of nebulous in terms of trying to nail the center of an actual rotation of a low level circulation. still have gaston as a tropical storm, down to a 50% chance of developing over five days. there's more thunderstorm activity closer to the center,

left around here, wind sheer as well limited the growth from this system. as you see on the water vapor imagery that red color around and south of nassau is dry air high above in the atmosphere. i think that's gotten into the storm especially into the western side helping to keep it fairly weak with wind sheer. 30 mile-per-hour winds says the gusts we've been seeing from the system and you can see that forecast from the spaghetti models moves it directly west. that's been the trend throughout the day. it will likely be very slow to it may help spread some rain our way possibly into the early part of next week. >> we'll check back in with you in a little bit. meantime stormy weather in sarasota county killed a woman. lightning struck her in a park inside a gazebo at mlk park on coconut avenue. the woman was homeless and a familiar face in this park and will be missed by those around there. we're still checking with

some breaking news, a bad crash in st. petersburg has traffic on mlk street and 40th avenue at a standstill. we're told the car flipped over knocking down a power pole. that pole caught a nearby palm tree on fire. the driver got out, but the passenger was trapped a while. once the electricity was cut she was able to safely climb out and everyone is expected to be okay. new tonight some bay area parents are outraged. they believe the man who runs plato academy in largo is lying to them about a issue in several middle school classrooms. tonight they let him have it during a verbal throwdown in the school cafeteria. 8 on your side first reported about mold concerns at the charter school and many parents believe the ceo is behind a large scale coverup. peter bernard is live in largo and you watched as parents really skewered this guy. >> reporter: heated, it was

any semblance of any civility today. tonight was a knockdown drag out throwdown as you said of the ceo here chris chris christopoulos. >> we're now spreading the mold by bringing all those mold spores into this room. >> reporter: mad about mold, dozens of parents grilled the ceo of the parent company about sick pointing the finger at steve christopoulos. >> it's not about you. it's not about the school. it's about the kids! right, it's about the kids. >> and the teachers that teach our kids. >> reporter: before the meeting several parents showed me the middle school classrooms and pointed out what they believe is mold near a vent, wet floors where tiles are coming up and places where they claim quick clean-up and paint is hiding the lurking menace.

he's hiding behind the word it's not mold, so he doesn't have to come out and do anything and do it all in secret. >> reporter: several parents aren't taking any chances. you're so concerned you're keeping her out. >> i'm keeping her out. >> reporter: and here's why. >> when i come to l so, all i do is cough -- come to school, all i do is cough. in my 1st period class, all i'm doing is coughing. >> reporter: tempers flared as it was said five tests showed there was no mold in the classrooms. later the ceo offered a pledge. >> i'll donate the funds for you to go out and get your own report with a company of your choosing independent and i will pay for it personally. >> reporter: you heard it. christopoulos insists there is no mold, no quick paint jobs, only cleaning and no coverup of any problems. the pinellas held of charter schools -- head of charter schools wants a certified mold inspection out here as soon as

jeopardy. >> this sounds like an old- fashioned impasse. the ceo says there is no mold. parents don't believe him. so what happens now? >> reporter: next thing that's going to happen is there's going to being an emergency meeting monday night at 6:00 here at -- to be an emergency meeting monday night at 6:00 here at the school. parents have said they will attend and the free inspection by the ceo still stands. >> interesting. peter bernard live in pinellas county tonight, thank you. now zika in your backyard. >> efforts to combat the spread of zika intensifies, today the food and drug administration began ordering all u.s. blood banks to screen for zika. up until now only blood banks in puerto rico and two south florida counties were required to test for this virus, but this new fda advisory includes every single blood bank in the country. paul mueller is live at the one blood donation center in tampa

>> reporter: well, the folks here at one blood had already been screening for zika, so really this is nothing new for them, all this as officials want to make sure there's enough safe blood on hand for all those who need a transfusion. they already test for hiv, hepatitis, west nile and now zika. >> these are very proactive precautionary measures put in place. >> reporter: dr. rita reich of one blood wasn't ri the announcement. blood centers in miami and ft. lauderdale were told to stop accepting donations till screenings could begin. now there's at least 42 homegrown zika cases in three counties. friday in miami a new mother who contracted the zika virus while pregnant with her 2-month- old baby girl, no signs of zika, at least not yet. >> she's changing the paradigm of the way we think about the disease. >> reporter: governor scott said he'll travel to washington

back from recess to push them to approve money to help fight the virus. >> we're the tip of the spear of what's going on. this is an issue our whole country will deal with. >> reporter: most folks in the bay area support the move. >> i think it's a good idea. >> absolutely because now we're talking about future birth defects. >> reporter: but not everyone. >> yeah. i would think it's just go to people with the symptoms. >> reporter: dr. reich said the public should not be alarmed about transfusions. >> i think yo that the blood supply is quite safe. >> reporter: today the cdc reported the first sexually transmitted case where the infected person showed no symptoms of zika. >> thank you, paul mueller. as the zika virus creeps closer to our backyard, the city of tampa is declaring war. cold enforcement officers are targeting areas where mosquitoes thrive. any location where water is allowed to stand for extended

concern. if you see a property that has issues, you are urged to give the city a call. you can remain anonymous. in central italy more than 900 aftershocks are making the work of finding survivors of a devastating earthquake even more difficult. one of those strong aftershocks damaged two key access roads into quake stricken amatrice threatening to isolate the small hilltop time. they keep digging even though the chances survivors are alive. 267 people are confirmed dead. ryan lochte scored a forgiving endorsement with cough drop company pine brothers after losing several high profile deals in the wake of his rio robbery scandal. lochte responded to the endorsement on twitter thanking them for the confidence saying he's looking forward to making pine brothers proud. we are less than 10 minutes away from the friday night

a nice weekend lady, very classic for this time of year -- ahead, very classic for this time of year, 40% rain chances ahead. we'll see showers and thunderstorms especially southern areas of rain chances grow sunday to 50%, high temperatures in the low 90s, could be some warmer spots. 92, 91, you get the idea, perhaps a little bit lower because potentially tuesday and wednesday increased moisture could lead to higher rain chances roughly associated with

could be in the gulf of mexico, crazy. 60% chance of showers here monday, tuesday, 50% chance on wednesday. we'll give a nod to that potential area of low pressure. this strike detected that unfortunate death in sarasota was around 5:25. the actual line of thunderstorms had pushed back to the west, but this one kind of struck after the line had past which just is a reminder that lightning can be very infrequent and unpredictable during the su a few lightning strikes in manatee county, north port got some good rains today. generally things should quiet, still some good storms farther to our west on the radar. forecast at 8 a.m. 79 degrees, 88 degrees at noon, 92 degrees at 4 p.m., another warm day. 80 right now, current temp in temple terrace, river view 82, clearwater beach, palm harbor, 78 treasure island, 80 lutz and

lakeland. across the southeast high pressure generally dominating, but deep atmospheric moisture builds in from the south. combined with heating we'll probably see better rain chances and still some rain this hour port charlotte to ft. myers. this is the moisture forecast, mid-and upper levels of the atmosphere, the bright green color indicating higher moisture levels building from the tropics. monday and tuesday is why we're starting to raise these rain chances combined with the that's 99l, an area of investigation. invest is what they call it. the center of circulation is probably right about there if you can detect it. the thunderstorms are generally on the eastern side indicating wind sheer and dry air. we looked at this a couple minutes ago. the trend on the spaghetti models was farther west today which is why we kind of speculate if this gets into the gulf of mexico under lower wind sheer, warmer sea surface temperatures, we could

days away. so it's just something we'll have to watch potentially for the next week or so. sorry, get used to hearing about it. it's a good idea to think about hurricane see as we're headed toward the historical peak september 10th. saturday morning sun and cloud mix, can't rule out a shower mostly in the afternoon hours, about a 40% chance into the evening. same routine for sunday although a few extra clouds. 40% chance saturday, 50% chance in the forecast nd about 60% into tuesday. those rain chances are higher for those days with the additional moisture in the atmosphere. wednesday and thursday the rain chances are about 40 to 50% as we ease back into a typical pattern and i want to apologize for talking about this tropical weather. it seems very nebulous. it is. >> no need to apologize. i think everybody is interested to know what's going on. >> but i'm talking about

developed into anything. so it's very difficult to forecast and very difficult to talk about. we just have to give you the best information we can. just stay tuned probably another week or so. >> you told me today because the center is not defined that makes those spaghetti models harder to draw. >> they have to start from a spot and there's really no spot. >> we understand. thank you, sir. with that it's time for the friday night blitz. >> dan lucas and paul ryan will have all of your high school

ryan back from the rio get- away. this is a fun time of year. >> this is not the olympics, but in some ways it's better. tonight we have a backyard rivalry in hillsborough county for our game of the week, but our game in tampa, let's go with hillsborough durant first. red dog, that reminds me of college. a pump fake gets everyone to bite. he eats a huge hit, but look who is open, brandon myers. durant is in si really. the cougars don't score. fast forward to the 2nd. potter picked by sherman. not richard sherman, also a different dude. terriers take over inside the 20 and they cash in. duran bell untouched from 7 yards out. 10-7 hillsborough at the half. terriers win 17-7. >> let's jump in the old time

thursday night, malik davis, say hi to malik. say good-bye. 65-yard touchdown there got the tigers going 7 -0. jesuit not perfect at least on this play. mustangs cash in on a bad snap. all they could do is muster a field goal. they needed to punch that one in. 2nd quarter because it's all davis from here. short easy run for him. that was the shortest run of the night, 2 yards, 14-3. 2nd quarter, my favorite play of tackle. no one is near him. jesuit a winner on opening night 39-3. >> jesuit needs that big board so he can do the usain bolt and look back, nobody there. >> he can probably see the one of raymond james in his sights. alonzo of sickles high separated just a few miles on the football field a bit of a talent gap lately.

the latter has been to the playoffs three years running. >> you belong to the neighborhood watch? >> i am not, but i know the bus stops. >> a while back the powers that be set up the schedule so the ravens and griffins meet the first game every year. let's go to alonzo high school for our friday night blitz game of the week. >> shake hands one more time, gentlemen. let's have a great game, all right? >> last out alonzo 16 high pressure 0. 1st quarter of a scoreless game, check out the full extension. that's a catch no matter what sport you're playing. later in the drive no dive necessary, wide open in for 6. the the griffens get on the board first. oh, he hits john trey hunter

sticks, but this possession ends like many of dan's pursuits of females, fruitless. they go back to punt or not. check this out, a real barrel roll. malik johnson. >> no, he's not, he is not. >> did that just happen? look at the bench. he must have been watching the olympics because johnson sticks the landing. take another look. >> that's a 10 right there. >> sports center retweeted that. unfortunately for alonzo they drive and sickles goes back to the well. alonzo wins the battle for sports center top 10 sumpremacy, sickles wins the war, 26-0 the final. >> that's back to back shutouts. >> yeah. back to last year. the chopoff is coming up next. we're going to the skies next on the friday night blitz. >> friday night blitz coverage

friday night blitz coverage brought to you by banco overhead doors. >> welcome back to friday night blitz. it is time to hit the friendly skies and buzz a couple of football games in a segment that was pretty popular last year. >> i didn't buy an overhead door from banco, but they make me think about it every time we do this. i hope he doesn't have to pump the gas. >> or pay for blitz skylights. let's go, paul. >> reporter: it's time to take off eagle 8 hd for some football. it's been a while. first stop land o'lakes where the gators host the wildcats and it's a little wild off the top, the quarterback sack, a fumble. he's down. land o'lakes childress drops, throws, blocked, now drops, looks, sacked.

shows who is tough bouncing off wildcats, big gain. jude may hits darrius smith for a good gain. now watch this hit. jude may scrambles, goes down and boom, big hit. a field goal attempt and we know they're tough. it's blocked. so onward has some bulk to gaither and the cowboys hosting the steinbrenner deonte waldron, big game. this time byrd keeps it himself and takes it out of bounds. steinbrenner moving, byrd throwing, out wide and too tall right to trenton jackson who makes a fancy catch and he's going, going, gone, 85 yards, touchdown gaither. luke bower says jackson can play. here he is wide open.

hd sky lights, news channel 8. >> congrats to both gaither and wesley chapel for wins tonight. dixie hollins on the road at countryside rebounds striking early. to the coach, wait a minute. a player is on the other side, catches a touchdown. cougars on offense now, derek jenkins the quarterback, threw everyone f country ofside on top 7-6. late in the 1st ernie admenlong, jr. tries. it's a good touchdown, but countryside the winner at home tonight 35-18. next up the old scottish rivalry northeast and dunedin. we pick it up in the 2nd half

ningitis b can be spread by typical sharing like... a drink... a spoon... a kiss. it all started here... it might have been prevented with trumenba. ask your doctor or pharmacist about trumenba. welcome back to the blitz, paul ryan, dan lucas. we got more football, not the high school variety. >> this is the professional.
