in florida, it used to be that if a child, a senior or one of our four legged friends was trapped in a hot car you and i were not allowed to save them unless we were willing to be sued. has government lost its mind? so i fixed the law to make sure we are all empowered to rescue those who can not rescue themselves. that is the least we can do. after all the love they give. dana young for the florida senate.

blowing. trees snapping and everything. >> reporter: the men dug their own ditch at the end of florida avenue and basil lane. he blames this, a fancy retention pond to keep water out of a new home subdivision. >> when they built that place right there, they dug that retention area out and all the water goes in there from our road and there's gates under there. you can't see them. so when it fills up, the gates shut out. now all the water is done. >> they complain to county employees for years and get nowhere. >> they won't bring us a pump. so i don't know what else to do. >> reporter: well i know what to do. track down county officials. >> they say they have been doing this for years. >> reporter: i found pasco county administrator michelle baker and katherine starkey.

being impacted by decisions made in the city of new port richey. the retention pond was approved by the city. but these county leaders admit it is up to them to get answers for their county residents. >> we did not permit this project nor was i aware of it until now. we will follow up and see if there is something we can do. >> reporter: hopefully, that is a step in the right direction. but nor now, the important thing is to make sure all of this water stays out of these houses and that this happening. i'm shannon behnken, 8 on your side. you probably don't want to think about rain chances. they are relatively high tomorrow. down to 40% sunday and monday. 60% saturday. we work some more stable drier air into the area. that will be welcome. a chance to dry out for some. showers continue to fall across the sections of pasco county as we showed you adding up to five inches of rain here since midnight. so, the showers at least at the

continue. some lingering rain as you saw on the radar. 77 degrees at 7:00 a.m. 87 degrees for tomorrow. some clouds, mostly and a little bit of sunshine. 81 degrees. current temperature, pinellas park. upper 70s at odessa. 81 degrees at river view. silt 0 in frost proof. and the wind speed continues to be an issue primarily in coastal areas because we are still seeing strong gusts on the way southern side of tropical storm hermine. although lesser amounts now. 28 miles an hour gusts in clearwater. 22 in saint pete. and, way offshore at 24 miles an hour. we will see the winds come down much, much more tomorrow. and especially on sunday. but the flow will still be on shore. there is hermine, a tropical storm. look how far it is trailing back into the gulf of mexico. and this line just tends to feed off the instability over the gulf. create more showers. move them on shore. and the train track as we were talking about.

over pasco county at the moment. so this evening scattered storms are still possible. winds will ease up a little bit. the flow will continue from the shorterm to the southwest. certainly saturday. there is enough moisture in the atmosphere to create a few more showers and thunderstorms. keep your plans at higher than normal rain chance. a few morning showers possible. but generally kind of a more typical pattern. it will transition the more of a morning sun afternoon and evening shower and tomorrow routine. 90 for a high on sunday. the rain chances running 40% as we go long term. as you saw earlier. the rain chances will fall off a little bit to 30%. as we get to tuesday, wednesday, and by thursday, below normal rain chances. so, let's hope we get a chance to take a break from all this tropical weather. it was a category 1 hurricane. that was 100 miles offshore. so we get the idea that we had some effects certainly. we were on the wet side of this. but gosh, it could have been a lot worse. i'm sure it is hard to explain that to people who have seen a

reminder of the dangers of tropical weather. >> you never know what year will be the one. >> that's right. >> why not be prepared all the time? >> thank you. we'll be right back. stay with us. >> plus, here is what you will see monday morning on newschannel8 today. >> apartments are concerned about all the chemicals it takes to fight zika. i'm gayle guyardo and i will show you what doctors say might work as an alternative. >> and don't forget to wake up with weather and traffic on the 8s on newschannel8 today.

but how did we end up here? his mom thought he had the flu and that he was covered by the meningococcal meningitis vaccine he had received. until 2014 there were no vaccines for meningitis b in the u.s. now there are. while uncommon, meningitis b can lead to death within 24 hours. trumenba is a vaccine for 10 through 25 year olds to help prevent group b meningococcal disease. trumenba should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. injection-site pain, fatigue... headache, muscle pain, and chills. ask your doctor or pharmacist about all the risks and benefits of trumenba and tell them if you've received any other meningitis b vaccines. meningitis 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.
