north carolina showing the flooding has just not let up, nearly one week after hurricane matthew hit, this is princeville you can see house after house surrounded by water at least 24 people have now died because of the hurricane and more rivers are expected to crest today at record levels, it is the worst flooding in north carolina going back to hurricane floyd in 1999. you might be a victim and not even know it if you're in the market for a used car. you have seen flooded cars in and around the places flooded out by hurricane matthew, many just hours away from tampa bay, they might end up in the hands of a secondhand dealer by the end of the year and once an engine is flooded it is never the same. a couple of things you need to look for, check out the car's

red flag. check the seatbelt buckles for signs of mold it is hard to clean the car once it has been flooded out and signs of corrosion under the hood. also check the trunk specifically if there is a spare tire, people forget about dumping water and cleaning up damage there. shark cages are supposed to keep you safe from sharks when you are in the water, but what happens when one makes it through? we will show

check this out, it is unbelievable, you know the cages divers used -- used to view sharks? look what happens when a great white shark gets in the cage, the people in the boat try to lift it up the shark manages to leap out. the blood you see is from the shark cage able to climb out. there he is, just fine. i have seen that movie jaws. i don't like how the movie ends. there you go. we have been watching this video all week from lumberton, north carolina, underwater because of the hurricane. >> the pictures tell the story, now we will show you a different view from a 360

devastation. the storm i know they kept telling us to prepare and we did prepare but when the levees broke in lumberton, it came up so fast. when we pulled up on the boat, i was just praying the water had not gone all the way through the house. walking out in the garage, it is but, i am grateful, i'm grateful that we are okay, these are all things, but you have worked really hard to get them, now they are ruined. just by a couple of hours.

same pain of all of our loss, and all of the damage that is done and the hard work that is in front of us to fill it back up, we are so blessed compared to some people who it is up to the windows on their home, they have lost everything, the fact that my husband and i are life and my mother and we got out of here before it got this bad so that we could get out, i think god for it. >> we can only show some of how the camera works on tv. you can actually control the video with the arrows on your computer with a keyboard your mouse or finger to see everything the camera captures, to get the full experience you can find the link on twitter. >> i sure feel for those folks. an update to the carjacking

a voice that people are hearing people are listening to, it is beyond the rhetoric. this is a motion and true. >> as trump's poll numbers continue to sink people believe the first lady's words have provided a motion for clinton's campaign. >> remember this, when they go low, we go high. >> for the now, i'm talking walking. turning our focus me when i tell you dealing with a child when they have not had enough sleep with meltdowns following it is not fun.>> i am the same way, research suggests there is another impact, they found children eat and drink more than normal when they don't get enough sleep. >> researchers say they had three and four-year-olds skip their afternoon naps and stay up two hours passed their normal bedtime, they are brave

>> the next day the kids had 20% more calories, 25% more sugar and 26 more carbs. >> researchers believe this is the first published study to test how we lack of sleep impacts such young children. they say it speaks to the problem of childhood obesity. the latest estimates show 23% of children under the age of five are underweight -- overweight. that is not to mention the impact on self-esteem and increased risk of type ii diabetes. the national sleep foundation estimates 30% of preschool age children do not get enough sleep. >> it recommends children 3 to 5 get between 11 and 13 hours of sleep each night. >> it also helps adults. >> i would like to take a nap,

camera. shay, we should have taken the day off. >> we could have taken a nap on the beach. that would be awesome. take a look at the radar, if you want to go for an evening walk or a jog or bike ride, or have dinner outside the weather is going to be working in your favor. anyhow, take a look at what is in northeasterly wind pattern bringing the moisture off the atlantic, we could see a sprinkle for nothing more than that, a light breeze, partly cloudy skies things looking fantastic into the weekend. rain chances have gone up from what i said yesterday possibly from this morning, a slight chance for a brief shower in the afternoon saturday, the morning looking nice and dry, the pattern tomorrow looking

greater chance for the afternoon shower. on sunday we will have isolated storms in the mix and rain chances will begin in the late morning, the first part of the day as the sun comes up that will be the best time to assure yourself it will be dry and then toward 10:00 in the morning we will start to see showers and even an isolated storm bubbling up, with 30% to 40% coverage returning almost to a summertime pattern, not washout but definitely higher chances for rain than what i was telling you about yesterday. if you plan to go to the beach or coachman park for the jazz holiday, i will have the forecast with more on the timing specifically closer to the beaches coming up. there is a secret to saving even more money at stores like costco and sam's club what to

so they are dumping it out, from january to august, 43 million gallons. enough to fill about 66 olympic sized swimming pools. we checked and one gallon of milk will cost between two dollars to as much as four dollars if you do the math it looks like 43 million gallons, three dollars per gallon, $129 million. it is a waste what they gets dumped, a marketing firm working with restaurants to put milk products on their restaurant menus. taco bell has a new menu item smothered in cheese. >> did you know insulin pumps and other medical devices can be hacked? the risk and what it can mean

state that is why this is prominent. >> the nba and ncaa have relocated events despite the backlash the bill has served as a rallying cry for other voters. >> that might make people mad. >> on the lawn of the state capital the son of billy graham encouraged voters to cast ballots. >> i think it will galvanize a lot of people. >> dan martin believ t and conservative voters. on this swing state whether more democrats or republicans show up could determine the next president. >> it will depend on voter turnout, it is crucial, north carolina will be a big player and the election will be close. >> a state issue with nationwide impact. for the now, back to you.

sunday, we are only looking at a few hit or miss showers even an isolated storm sunday, where saturday would be a brief passing shower, overall have got a lot of good dry hours and beautiful weather to be heading out there, or if you're going to be at pops in the park this is for saturday, i highlighted around the park, take a look through tonight and into tomorrow, we see those will work their way to the ground earlier in the afternoon, but all the way through the late afternoon and evening on saturday, we are going to see a slight chance for a brief passing shower, nothing really moving over tampa bay or pinellas county and to the north may be a heavier shower possible, again we are really looking at minimal chances for rain, whatever you have in mind this weekend you are probably going to turn out just fine. sunday would be the greater concern for an isolated storm

little bit, into early next week the rain chances go down remember i was telling you about the next bigger front, i will have more on that coming up at 5:00. it is a good thing it will be nice this weekend because there is free parking that is what usf is offering to the first 300 vehicles at the game versus uconn.'s the idea is to get more people to the games. last week the 20 year homecoming history, you have to have at least four students in the car, kickoff is at 7:00 saturday night. shrek hp incorporated cutting more jobs, another 3000 over the next three years, they don't have specifics yet but right now hewlett-packard employs about 50,000 people worldwide. it says the cuts will reduce
