forecast. earlier today it had it right over cape canaveral during the day tomorrow but now that red line is a little farther east. that's great news because the core of the strongest winds, the 130-mile-per-hour winds stay tied to that that red line and so they're not as far inland as once perhaps thought. so in any event it does continue to parallel the georgia south carolina coastline tomorrow night and saturday and loops all the way around back into the bahamas by tuesday of next week, but much weaker, a tropical storm at th now, here you go. here is the doppler radar out of miami showing essentially two eye walls, the outer eye wall is right here fort pierce toward west palm beach where winds are gusting 60 miles per hour, but in terms of the most intense twhainsd found right at the inner eye wall which is right here, and it look like looking at some new information as well as the hurricane center's new forecast track, that inner eye wall, that intense eye wall may parallel and stay just offshore late tonight and tomorrow morning. that would be good news for the

late tonight and through the day tomorrow as well as very heavy rain and a storm surge approaching seven to 11 feet. north florida, georgia and south carolina. >> kim: crews in haiti surveying the damage now after matthew ravaged that country. the impoverished nation left to pick up the pieces and deal with a lot of death. the bahamas also dealing with damage. and from florida to the carolinas they're still bracing for what's to come. the is here with the impact the storm will have on the sunshine state. >> reporter: more than 60,000 people are without power as the wind picks and up the surf rises. emergency lecialg laitionz have been issued -- decialg laigz. and across the caribbean matthew has been deadly and officials say those who haven't heeded evacuation orders in the u.s. are rings theirs lives. hurricane matthew has cut a path of destruction through this

the wheel of this car in a clown mask is now facing criminal charges. >> it's not as funny. it's not fun. it's not funny. whether it's halloween or not. >> reporter: police say the man followed a school bus and students from a bus stop, scaring the kids so much they hid under a nearby backyard deck to avoid him. officers say it turns out the man was a parent of one of the kids on the bus. >> the fact that you're driving were a mask on -- you know what i mean? --eh yourself and following a school bus of all things, just put the elements together. it's scary without even looking at the mask. add the mask to it it's note an appropriate thing. >> reporter: dorothy cook's son goes to auburn middle school and was show so upset he didn't to go school yesterday. >> i was really freaked out. light of my friends are really freaked out now. two days ago everyone was talking, scary clowns, they're going to come.

incident. >> being at the bus stop is one thing but from the way know he's following the bus and that would give the kids a little different perspective or a little different fear. >> reporter: and at this point it's still not clear why the man put on the clown mask in the first place. >> i don't know what this dad was thinking, unfortunately. >> reporter: parents tell me they also wish that someone from the school would have notified them about this incident since it happened two days ago. we have learned that b public schools has sent out an email to all parents warning them about this clown threat and social media. for now we're live in auburn, i'm amaka u back a. >> ryan: we continue to track hurricane matthew. west palm beach. you can see matthew starting to move up along the coast. the trees blowing pretty good in this live video. >> kim: it looks quiet. people are heeding the twawrntion to stay undoors. let's go to jr. who is in and who's out right now? >> meteorologist: good

tower camera there. that's on the outer flank of the storm here. and then as you take a closer look here that's where we have the eye wall. that's where when you talk about maximum sustained winds 130 miles per hour, it's confined to that inner eye wall. sometimes in these storms you have a secondary eye wall. that's what this is right here still offshore. and that is continues to marsh north toward fort pierce and melbourne, the windsrama in excess of 70 miles per hour. west palm beach, again seen winds that high. i have seen winds socationly gusting 35, 40 miles per hour but nothing at catastrophic as what we saw move over freeport and the bahamas earlier today. so there you go. the inner eye wall, that's the most dangerous portion of the storm but then you have the outer portion approaching the florida coastline overnight tonight and through the day tomorrow. the latest thinking from the hurricane center may not actually have the eye wall itself make landfall but even with that said, even if this eye

still going to have at least 74-mile-per-hour winds grazing the coastline. looks like from melbourne up toward palm coast that's going to be your areay when you have the strongest winds ins and of 75 miles per hour for the longest time. so it will be in that window where we're talking about the possibility of extreme wind damage, as well as very heavy rain, and then just inland from there we're talking from the to 60 miles per hour twhintdz area shaded in the yellow and the orange. on the other coast back toward and naples nothing. just a northerly breeze overnight and through the day tomorrow. then the storm continues the list northeast and weaken further, but still powerful. so the storm srnlg a concern not so much for miami, fort lauderdale, but as you get up toward fort pierce and more so melbourne and daytona beach and north of there, that's where we have the storm itself is shoving all this water toward the coastline, and the shape of the coastline is set up like this, and so as that water comes in,

it traps the water in there and it lead to that storm surge of 7 to 11 feet. something similar to this happened with hurricane bob where we had the water coming up into nair ganset bay and buzzards bay several years ago. a tough night for the folks in florida. meanwhile, closer to home high pressure is in new england tonight, and it's not moving enough fort next several days. fantastic tomorrow. lots of sunshine. mild. temperatures 71 to 76. your holiday weekend. one little blip is the cool front that new england saturday night with clouds, perhaps a few sprinkles, but i think that's it, and then we are back into the dry conditions for the remainder of the holiday weekend. the front frontal end of it is warm. behind the cool front sunday and monday temperatures upper 50s to around 60. >> ryan: a local homeowner getting a solar shock when the company leaves his roof a mess. >> kim: and when the company wouldn't pay up, he hit the roof

chris anderson. >> reporter: they're not quite sun worshippers but ray mondays and his wife loved getting outside to soak in the golden ray ps in fact, sunshine is a big reason why they built their dream home in scuton. >> when we saw this lot, we saw the potential because it gets sun all day long. >> reporter: lots of sun can translate into lots of money saved on back to you electricity, so back in february ray decide it was time to go solar. he contacted solar city, a company b hoping they could shed some light on his potential savings. >> got back to me and said, yep, you're certainly a potential solar customer. that's why we picked the spot. >> reporter: ray says solar city sent two men over to his house who climbed on his roof to measure and it figure out how many panels would fit but they were using something that got ray's attention. >> some sort of belt. >> reporter: with a long strap that rayy says was somehow attached a. attached to his

finishing off trim work and noticed seferlt shingles that had caulking in it. >> reporter: he said the men from solar city nailed their safety harness right into the shingles but instead of replacing them, they used caulking to pluck u. plupg they holes. ray called solar city several times over next few weeks and said the representatives kept promising that someone would call help back. but his feelings of hope on the horizon were eventually eclipse pped when he said no one returned his call. >> and >> reporter: we took this case to our legal expert. >> is this repair sufficient? >> there is a law that says everything has to be any a workman type manner and to leave holes and destroyed roof shingles isn't in any way determined a workman-like manner. >> reporter: hoping to pedroia ray & with a rave hope we contacted solar city and sent pictures of the damages along with a repair estimate from raise repair contractor. after some back-and-forth

that ray had been waiting for. >> they did agree to send me the check for repairs to my roof. >> reporter: ray got his roof fixed, and solar city sent him this check to cover the cost. >> i want to thank you guys from the bottom of the my heart for, you know, all the work you did. >> reporter: a solar solution for ray's stressful shingle situation. and if there's a problem you need help with, give as call or you can send us an email to solve it 70 at in the newsroom, chris anderson 7news. >> kim: all right. time to talk sports. >> we do know that tom brady is back but there's still some concern, right? >> you got that right. julian edelman limited a frac. we'll tell you what's going on

? why do banks treat you and your money like this?

they've reimagined banking, and built a checking account that's free of all that nonsense. no fees. no minimums. no gotchas. at capital one, your money stays your money. what's in your wallet? special interests that oppose question 2 claim district schools lose money to charter schools.

charter schools "don't siphon off state dollars" from traditional schools, says the boston globe. in fact, public schools get more money. the truth is question 2 will give parents more choices and result in more funding for public education. please vote yes on question 2. for stronger public schools. >> joe: with tom brady back in business, the patriots are 10-1/2 point favorites over the winless browns this sunday but question marks do remain. rob gronkowski limited at practice with the hamstring issue. and today another concern. this time with the patriots top wide receiver, julian edelman listed as limited in today's practice as well with a foot injury, not a good sign here considering he's coming off not one but two foot surgeries. the patriots 9-0 with edelman

stretch quowt without brady's favorite target. as for brady and whether his suspension add to the chip on his shoulder, here's martellus bennett >> to play this game you got to have a chip and everybody's chip is a little bit different. it's like lay's, i guess. you may be a barbecue guy, may be sour cream and onion guy but as long as you have your chip that's what gets you through the game. >> so you think the league and goodell may have given some players an extra chip? >> naw, goodell looks like a pringle guy. i don't co >> joe: well put by martellus bennett. and right now in cleveland game one of the alds, the red sox trailing 5-4 into the top of the ninth inning.
