investors took their cue from the oil market. prices slumped below $30 a barrel today, the lowest level in 12 years. the dow is below 16,000 with the dow losing more than a thousand points since the beginning of the year. the market is on track for its meltdown in 2009. weather. here's a live look outside in downtown orlando. look at that gorgeous blue sky. can you believe how nice it looks? if you stepped outside for lunch, you definitely were dealing with heavy rain and storms. >> it turned roads into rivers and our parking lot as well and knocked out power to thousands of people. >> we have team coverage for you on the downright nasty day of weather and some of the damage it left behind. we'll get to the outages and traffic problems like this one in just a minute. but first, chief meteorologist tom sorrells has been here all day, pinpointing the storms for us and what lies ahead. >> oh, things have totally gone the other way.

look over my shoulder. here's the big low. we were talking about this last night at 11:00. it was going to shoot the gap between atlanta and jacksonville. there it goes, up to the north, dragging the cold front through. we have hit the dry slot. going into the night tonight, no more rain showers out there. all the rain is somewhere else. temperature readings rebounded nicely into the afternoon. we hit a high of at least 75. we dropped 1 degree in the last hour. you see the way the clouds and radar together pushed all the way down, pushing all the scattered showers and the dangerous stuff out of our zone, all the way down to miami. i'll be back to talk about the weekend. right now, we want to talk about the damage the storms did do. a lot of folks lost power. standing by is candace campos. >> earlier today we had about five to up to 8,000 customers without power. we're looking better. just like the weather, it was looking bad this morning and

we'll continue to see a bunch of these little blue dots start popping up around town, indicating the power outages. we had crews out and about all around town today. you can see we're still seeing plenty of workers out there trying to get that power back up. they did a great job today. because, again, this is more of a wind maker rather than a rainmaker and some of that win brought debris on some of those power lines. when we spoke to some people and the crews, they said that was a big concern. we spoke to someone, an owner of 7-eleven, who say it really dampened his business today. >> so far, we were out of power for an hour and a half and i lost a lot of business. hopefully the power is coming back. >> again, we have about 1800 more customers that are still without power but hopefully they will all be back up and running later on today. >> thank you, candace. all the dry weather we're dealing with right now, a relief for drivers heading home.

along i-4. traffic is moving nicely. no issues with the drive times. lake mary boulevard to colonial, 19 minutes. i-4 eastbound is beginning to slow. earlier today, we were talking about a parking lot right here along i-4 at parr as heavy rain. this morning, it really meant big traffic trouble, especially right in that area. this is how it looked for you around 11:00 this morning. that is when a tractor-trailer jackknifed on i-4 eastbound at princeton and that did cause some delays. a couple of minutes later, you couldn't even see the crash. the crash was cleared pretty quickly. the rain came down so hard. once the crash moved, crews cleared the scene only to find another mess. you can see all the standing water in the eastbound lanes. all the water didn't have anywhere to properly drain. we spoke to i-4 ultimate project spokesperson david parks about this earlier today. >> a heavy volume of water was dropped on the road and it

wasn't able to make its way to the drainage until we brought an excavator in and cleared it up so the water could funnel off the roadway and function as it's intended to. so now we're aware that's an issue and we can look at other areas along the 21 miles so we can make some improvements. >> things are looking a lot better out there right now. coming up on news 6 at 6:00, we'll take a closer look at construction through the area and tell you what's coming up in the next few months. >> thank you, julie. >> don't forget, you can get breaking weather alerts and live radar anytime on our free news 6 pinpoint weather app. just search wkmg in your app store. >> we will check back in with tom with more on the big weather changes coming this weekend in less than 15 minutes. >> a crime tracker alert to tell you about this afternoon. a burglar is caught not only breaking into an apartment but those who lived in the apartment he was breaking into attacked, stabbed and killed him this morning around 6:00 this morning

get tornadoes. knock on wood. just south of us, they did. as soon as the squall line got past our viewing area, tornado warnings started flying. so it was messy. take a look at how we turned out now. i want to start out the weather story tonight with post-tropical storm alex. it made it past the azores today. it weakened a little bit before it rolled through there. tonight it's post-tropical and no advisories will be issued with it. we're done with that and now it's time to move on and talk about us, talk about me, talk here we go. squall line past miami tonight to the islands of the bahamas. big tornado warnings started to get issue in st. lucie and those spots but not for us. none of that happened here. we lucked out. we really did. a few severe thunderstorm warnings and a little bit of damage but no tornadoes. we got past the first one. right now, temperature readings down to the 70's in most spots. 72 in ocala, 73 in the villages

orlando and 75 right now in melbourne. wind speeds tonight has really dialed it back down. we have a very brisk 20-mile-an-hour wind right now in sanford, 17 in orlando. but we don't have winds of 25 gusting up to 40 like we had about 9:00 this morning that went past 60 miles per hour with our warnings. that's done. by tomorrow morning, the wind speeds will be down to like 5, 10, maybe 4 or 5 miles per hour. it's all going our way in the next 24 hours. 7:00 tomorrow morning, we're going to cool down enough with all the moisture we picked up today, we picked up more than an inch and a half in some spots. with all that moisture in the bucket, there's going to be patchy fog. overnight low tonight, about 57. we'll start out with a touch of cloud cover but as the day wears on, i really think most of this rain here is oversold. i think tomorrow is going to be perfect. we had a good day today after the storms got through. sunday looks to be kind of similar. here we go, sunday, 4 a.m.,

this may be a little bit oversold. hopefully it is. here's sunday at 9 a.m. from sanford to orlando to kissimmee. big rain. by 10 a.m., it's gone. and then colder air really takes over. this cold front is coming almost straight due north to south and it's going to bring in a really cold punch. tonight, there's no cold punch here. temperatures in the low to mid-50's across the area. some of us in the upper 50's. 56 to 57 for the overnight low. here's tomorrow. >> patchy fog early on tomorrow and becoming mostly sunny. i don't think you're going to see too much in the way of rain although we might eke out a spritz or two. really warm. that's the bottom line. our daytime high tomorrow is 77 degrees. so 77 tomorrow. then on sunday, wowza, a high of only 67. and martin luther king, jr. celebration day on monday, a high of 69. look at the low monday night

back into the upper 30's, which would mean those of you up north like marion county and northern lake county, western volusia, that would be a freeze frost problem for you again. but that's monday. enjoy your weekend. >> thank you, tom. >> don't forget, you can get breaking weather alerts and live radar anytime on our free news 6 pinpoint weather app. just search wkmg in your app store. >> ahead, starting school later comes with a price tag. just how much is orange county willing to pay? >> then actor sean penn sets the record straight about his secret meeting with el chapo. why he calls it a fail. >> and first, a rejection letter from a 6-year-old. why it has one dad in the spotlight. >> you're watching news 6 at 4:00, getting results for central florida.

>> who better to tell this viral story than father of three matt austin. >> do you ever feel like a bank to your kids? a st. louis father certainly did. he came up with a creative way to say no to his 6-year-old son's request for cash. turns outs the boy wanted a $20 advance on his allowance for a new toy, just like a bank might deny someone a loan, though, so did dad. to make sure he got the notice, he sent it from his formal rejection letter from his dad's account. he said he found an insufficient funds and history of not doing chores. >> my favorite is the subheadline because it says apparently i look like i'm made of money. no word yet on whether or not his son got the hint. the internet certainly did and loved it.

melbourne, new record as of today. we broke the record of 1.51 in 1970 by picking up 2 and almost a quarter inch of rain in the rain gauges today. daytona beach a little less than an inch, the record way out of touch there as 2.5 inches. the temperature readings are on the way down. we hit a high of 75 and we dropped back to 74 in orlando and 73 at the cape and 72 in ocala. if you have outdoor plans tonight, clearing, mild, dry. it is still breezy but the wind will calm down as well. by 7 p.m., we're down to 70. standing by now with more information about all the mess we had this morning is candace campos. >> it looks like we had a before and after picture because you saw all the clouds and i was out there and it just turned dark on a dime and then, now, i'm looking outside the window outside of the news 6 studios and it's a beautiful afternoon. we had crews all around town today and as we zoom in to our

we were out there between 9 and 10:00 this morning. as we pull this graphic for you, you can see there was plenty of wind and rain as tom was talking about. we had wind gusts clocking up to 25, 35 miles per hour as that front tracked quickly. about 45 miles per hour across the area. again, we had plenty of heavy rain as well as those wind gusts you saw earlier. the flag waving in the wind. the good news about it is things finally started to calm down pretty quickly as well. live out here in the newsroom, it's all now in the past. right now, temperatures in wildwood, about 72 degrees with plenty of sunshine. as you heard tom say, the weather is looking spectacular later on tonight. >> thank you, candace. >> don't forget, you can get breaking weather alerts and live radar anytime on our free news 6 pinpoint weather app. just search wkmg in your app store. >> we have an update now to breaking news we told you about at the top of the hour.

floating in the st. johns river in volusia county has been pulled ashore and identified as a male. the body was floating in this marina in de bary. deputies tell us a man on a fishing dock at a nearby mobile home reported the discovery. we're still learning more about this and we'll have the latest as we get more in. >> also breaking right now, a historic spacewalk is cut short this afternoon. >> yeah. just over four hours in, an american astronaut had trouble with his helmet. nasa says it was taking a very conservative approach when the walk was terminated. >> indeed they were. american astronaut and the british astronaut had already accomplished quite a bit on this walk. they were replacing a voltage regulator that failed two months ago, but when the american astronaut reported a water bubble in his helmet, the planned six-hour walk was terminated and nasa was quick to react. >> we know it's a small amount of water, and i can read you the steps right now, tim.

if there's any way to get a temperature of the water, i don't know if you can move it around to get to that or to try to drink it and note the taste. >> a similar scare happened during a spacewalk in 2013 and an astronaut nearly drowned when water got into his helmet. nasa says the astronauts today were never in any danger. here's how it was described as it was happening. >> under very conservative flight rules, and with the major accomplishment of this spacewalk having been successfully tackled, that being the replacement of a failed voltage regulator on the star board trust of the station, the decision was made to bring the crew back inside and in an orderly fashion. the crew is not in any danger whatsoever. >> this is a very big moment for

property and shot both of them at separate times. >> he says they first found their neighbor's cat on their lawn, shot dead. six hours later -- >> we noticed the duck is laying on its side and it had a 22 bullet into the side of that. >> two hours after that, they found their pet goose, seen in this picture, also shot dead. the family says losing the goose was the hardest. >> it's always in the last petting, feeding it, it was more thank just a regular goose. >> the family is worried about the other animals and called the sheriff's office for help. >> i want my rights to protect my property. we've got dogs and horses and donkeys and stuff outside. shot now. >> while deputies searched for the shooter, the family plans to install security cameras and say they have a message for others. >> everybody make sure to watch out for your animals a lot more and try to keep them safe. they're a part of the family.

>> in lake helen, loren korn, news 6. >> a woman in deleon springs also tells news 6 she found her dog fatally shot on the same day. >> how much would you pay for some extra sleep? that is what orange county schools are trying to figure out. >> they are considering starting class times later but you've learned the price tag, julie, for more shut-eye is quite high. >> yeah. supporters say 7:10 is just too early. they believe making the start time later will help student performance. at a school board workshop last night, news 6 learned the plans could cost the district millions. it's all because of buses changing high school times would roll over and impact the other grade levels. the board is considering six different models that could move the start times anywhere from 7:45 to 8:15 and they're all costly. the 7:45 plan, for example, would require the district to buy 400 new buses at a cost of $44 million.

extra $29 million a year in operating costs. the board chairman is pushing a different plan, requiring moving high school plans to start at 7:50 and 8:15. the plan would require the district to negotiate with the other teachers's union to keep elementary and middle school students in class longer. they're going to get input from parents and students to decide what to do next. none of the changes would take effect until at least 2017. >> the countdown is on for the kickoff for the python challenge in the everglades. they hope to reduce the population of the invasive burmese pythons. the team that catches the most can win up to $5,000.

this was taken earlier today of the rare january atlantic storm. chief meteorologist tom sorrells has been pinpointing it for us all week and he joins us in moments with more on its projected path. good news, though, it's not expected to affect us here in central florida. >> sean penn sat down with cbs' charlie rose to talk about the actor's rolling stone interview with the wanted drug lord known as el chapo. it was a meeting that helped lead to guzman's capture. penn spoke at length for rose's sunday edition of 60 minutes. >> there is this myth about the visit that we made. >> sean penn tells 60 minutes' charlie rose he does not believe his october interview with joaquin el chapo guzman led to the drug lord's capture last week. >> as far as you know, you had nothing to do and your visit had nothing to do with his recapture? >> the mexican government, they were clearly very humiliated by the notion that someone found

well, nobody found him before they did. we're not smarter than the d.e.a. or the mexican intelligence. we had a contact upon which we were able to facilitate an invitation. >> guzman escaped a maximum security prison in july. guzman is believed to be responsible for as many as 34,000 deaths. officials say his cartel is the no. 1 supplier of heroin, cocaine and marijuana to the united states. >> do you believe the mexican government released this, in part, because they wanted to see you blamed and to put you at risk? >> yes. >> they wanted to encourage the cartel to put you in their cross-hairs? >> yes. >> are you fearful for your life? >> no. >> penn says the focus on his meeting with guzman and his recapture means his article,

attention to the war on drugs, has failed. >> and you can watch the entire interview with sean penn this sunday on 60 minutes. >> i can't wait to see that. >> it really is fascinating. and charlie rose went on to ask him if he considers himself a journalist and the back and forth exchange was really interesting because sean penn said i did exactly what a journalist would do and i got information and journalists are jealous and that's why they're criticizing him. i'd like to see a journalist pull out a card that says i'm a journalist. >> i believe in a few years there will be a movie coming out where he makes millions of dollars. >> i can't believe he's not fearful for his life, though. he was married to madonna, he fears nothing. >> moving along. the storms have moved out and it is looking absolutely perfect outside right now. i would call this a 10 on the sorrells scale. >> but you didn't factor in the first half.
