including mr. rich's residence. we are told about 350 pasco county workers and volunteers were out assessing damage in places like this, trying to deliver the kind of relief you just saw the water and so forth. and this evacuation affected as many as 2,500 people in pasco county. this is still under a mandatory evacuation. at least four to five different neighborhoods other than this one are under a recommended evacuation. all because of the rising floodwatfr the last thing they need is more rain and that is exactly what we're getting right now, josh. >> it is some familiar images and the problems they would have out there before. these poor people are dealing with it again. how much longer is this flooding expected to be a problem, mark? >> reporter: well frankly i thought that this street might be dry by the end of today, but it is clearly not done yet. and so i would just venture to say that it will be at least be overnight before these streets dry up. when you go back in there the

rescue ajenns. reporting in manatee county john rogers news channel 8. >> if you get a phone call that is suspicious about a deal that is too good to be true, scammers may be targeting you. >> what you need to watch out for. my son has meningitis b. 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

trumenba should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. most common side effects were 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.

irs will never do. if you receive one of these calls hang up. >> i've heard from several viewers just today about the facebook scheme, so be extra careful any time you get an arrest to make sure you'll check it before you accept them. >> i know, through the years that i have heard the same irs scams and the variations of it, all the time that it is scary though. what if you think you may owe them something? >> some of us do oh the irs, but they will never call you. so you can call them really want to know and believe me that they will find you. they are not going to call. >> right. they will not pay you in gift cards. >> right, they will not take gift cards in exchange for your taxes. believe me. >> all right, thanks, shannon. if you have a problem you need solving, call behnken. 1-855-behnken. thankfully for most of us a good chunk of the labor day was dry, but we have been tracking

only some isolated showers with maybe a few storms around. but a 28% chance of rain. there is a look at your forecast for tuesday. mid-80s by lunchtime. heading for the low 90s with partly cloudy skies in the afternoon. there is the drier air to the north. that red shading there is pushing on off to the south for the next couple of days, which is really going to limit our rain chances well below normal for the first half of september until the weekend, of course for that moisture that will quickly return and our rain chances will start to bump back up. 20% chance fo wednesday afternoon. just 30% chance on thursday and friday and by the weekend though unfortunately that rain chance will be back up to 40%. if you are heading out to the big game or what they are dealing with it, they've got ole miss taking on sfu. most of the rain is south of orlando now. and kickoff temperatures should be around 77 degrees. something else that we're watching, this broad area of low pressure is south of puerto rico and the national hurricane center will give them a slim 20% chance of developing over

it gets towards the yukitan peninsula, but a small chance. here is how it looks downtown tampa. 82 degrees right now with the wind out of the northeast. it is 81 in lakeland and bartow. 84 degrees in sarasota. temperatures at or just above average for the next five days heading on into the weekend. forecast for tonight, evening rain will wrap up and drier air arrives. a comfortable start to th dropping down to 74 degrees. tomorrow afternoon partly cloudy, hot, just an isolated storm chance with a high of 91 degrees. we're at 90 both wednesday and thursday. unfortunately rain chances are ramping back up over the weekend. it's the little things we notice in the -- the climatology reports there. coming up next in sports it is finally a game of the week

dan lucas has the first chat with the head coach. >> that's right. he'll talk to us about the team's opener and what it means

all right this season news channel 8 your official buc station is thrilled to continue their exclusive one-day chat with the head coach. now, they are known for getting right to the point. jones made it for the first cutters corner of the season, a big test on the road. and against the division opponent. >> every game in the nfl is as critical. but the fact that it is a division game and that you only

does it make it even extra crucial? >> yeah, it really counts as almost two. if you could get a road win within the division in the first game it is almost like getting two wins because of the fact that it is a division game. we will see it. we will sure approach it that way and i'm sure that atlanta will too. but our guys are excited, they are ready to go against somebody else and to have it count for real. >> the fact is that you can be as prepared as you can to the best of your ability. which you are not going to know though until it will place. where is it that this team is heading into their workweek now for week one of the season based on all the preparation. >> we should be well rested if nothing else. you know, the hurricane left us kind of high and dry. i know that it is a weird way to say it, but as far as practice goes, we went five days without practicing, which you know it is good and the fact that our guys should be fresh and all healed up from the pre-season. but it is also a little scary as a coach, of course, you know, that you are so anal

every rep. but each one of these games will take on their own life based on the circumstances of the game. is there a tip pass, a fumble, a big kickoff return. you know, that's what makes the nfl great that you would have to adjust and it is never over until it is over. >> bringing in coach smith to lead the defense and based on what we have seen here in the pre-season and obviously not game planning, right. but how excited are you to see this pass rush and to see this thing just really click in a real game? >> we are very exci i know that our defensive players when you talk to them that they will be really excited to go out there and to turn that into a real game. but talking about it, doing it, they will be two different things. atlanta has some tremendous skill players. they have improved on the line by bringing in alex mac as a new center and a former pro bowl center. we've got our hands full on their defense because atlanta is a very explosive offense as they started very fast on offense last year. but i'm real excited to see our defense go out there to turn

jamison into his first game. and it was a day to forget really, but kind of a day that it began add great growth process for him one year later. this is a different guy it seems to me. that it is a complete different scenario? >> well that is evidence by the fact that he was voted captain for the season by our team. as you said dan, that first game last year just as a team, it is a game to forget. you know, that i don't that they play anything like that this year and that the guys will come out and they will be ready to get after it. >> you can catch more of that interview on wfla.com. rays lose today 7-3 to the orioles. sfu, upset alert tonight. better pay attention after the weekend. >> yes. that's happening. >> don't go anywhere. nightly news is coming up next followed by news channel 8 at 7:00. >> you can join jenn holloway.
