it. thank you, dave. >> lisa: our other big story right now, a wild day in the weather. this time lapse video shows how quickly the rain moved in to downtown orlando earlier today and then just like that, the sun was back out. and now it's all about the big cool-down. we'll start with what's next for us with chief meteorologist tom sorrells. so, tom, apparently it is time to start bundling up. >> tom: it's relaxing, isn't it? big storms are over, don't you love that? >> julie: for you. >> tom: for everybody. no watches or warnings. maybe we will launch a rocket later into the evening. you can see what's happening right now down south where the remnant showers are from orlando to the north, you're done. ocala, the villages, daytona beach even, i really believe you're done. future radar shows that the big action down south does continue into the evening here for the

surfing and all that fun stuff. they say they just love it. >> well, yeah, for us anytime you see whitecaps, a lot of whitecaps like that, that's good. today it's very gusty. it's kind of up and down for the moment. we're hoping the sun stays out. the wind -- well, you're the meteorologist. we know the microclimate here, the odds are it will smooth out and be more fun. >> reporter: they're going to see plenty of wind. it looks like temperatures are going to be cooling down. he'll really need the wet suit throughout the next couple of days. again, finishing off the pinpoint forecast for titusville, it will be cool. nice clear skies heading into thursday night. overall, looking very nice for folks in titusville starting out later on this evening. >> julie: we're keeping a live look on the roadways. this is the 408 ramp. traffic is stop and go through the downtown area this afternoon as more drivers are hitting the roads. give yourself extra time if you're about to head out on i-4 eastbound.

>> joaquin watson is the prime suspect for the man killed on mother's day over the oak ridge bridge. >> lisa: that was loren korn reporting. now to a bear sighting in apopka, this one caught on camera. matt austin is here joining us. it's not something you see every day. >> matt: you don't want to see it every day, right? talk about a bear scare. having this guy around, roaming, it's a big fellow on your driveway, searching for food. that's exactly what happened at a home in apopka this week. these pictures from a homeowner there who lives just north of kelly park. you see the bear in front of the cars. i mean, he's about as tall as a human being there when he stands up. the homeowner says he used bungee cords across the lid of the garbage can so the bears or any other critters couldn't get inside. you see the bear knocked the can over, but still could not crack the code. homeowner says the bungee cord

keeping the guy out of his trash, at least for now. i do the bungee cord things on the trash cans for raccoons and i can see claw marks all over the lid. >> ginger: one day the bear is it going to figure it out or they're going to snap it because they're very strong. >> matt: we've seen them in a hammock. who knows what a bear is capable of. >> lisa: tonight in volusia county, crews are monitoring hot spots following this huge fire. we brought you this story live from sky 6 yesterday at 4:00. at first we were told the fire was connected to a controlled burn, but now florida forest service crews say they do not know how this started and they are investigating. no homes or businesses were damaged. >> julie: near sarasota, the flu sends a record number of people to the emergency room at manatee memorial hospital. yesterday broke the all-time single day record for visits with 310 patients.

year, it's about 220. it comes after health experts issued a statewide alert about the flu, reminding everyone it's not too late to get the shot. in fact, despite the flu season even starting early, the health department says they're just now seeing increased influenza activity in the state and across the nation, especially in children. >> lisa: well a chance for you to get results for some of our most vulnerable central floridians. >> ginger: this saturday night, you can help our homelessness with a tweet or facebook posting. >> julie: we'll broadcast the game live at the amway center. news 6's erik von ancken is here with how all of this works. this is exciting. >> reporter: it is very exciting. i'm sure you all remember this last year. the hashtag was rethink homelessness.

facebook it or instagram it, snapchating it, the solar bears will donate a dollar for every posting or reposting. there's 2100 people chronically homeless, people on the street for more than a year in orange, osceola or seminole county. 300 of those are in permanent homes thanks to agencies using something called the "housing first" model. faith price is putting together a food kit and a medical kit and a toiletry kit to get her clients through the first few months in their new place. >> it lasts them up to 90 days. one of the items that we have is toilet paper. sometimes we don't think about this in our own home that toilet paper is essential to moving someone into a new property. >> reporter: faith, a housing specialist at the healthcare center for the homeless in downtown orlando, is the prep person. she makes sure a new house is a home.

who used to be homeless. >> i had a sister that had a mental illness and she was homeless for some time. so i treated every one of the clients as if it's my sister because i want them to know they're not alone. and they're loved and they're cared about. >> reporter: faith is making all the difference in the housing first model that agencies like the healthcare center are using to get homeless off the streets in central florida. people like david lunsford, he spent seven years in a tent in the woods in seminole county, passing up other programs that would require him to get clean and sober first before he could move in and get a roof over his head. >> it would be so ludicrous, crazy if i messed it up and i don't. there's no way i'm going to.

the best thing that's ever happened to me. >> reporter: i believe him. he was sincere. the reason they call it faith and family night is because churches are partnering with us, buying tickets and purchasing them for families who have never seen hockey. we're expecting a record crowd, upwards of 10,000 people. we're going to broadcast it live here on news 6. last year, the #rethink homelessness went viral. twitter. that's a lot of loot. >> ginger: it helps to put a face with homelessness as well. >> lisa: it's so easy and something we can all do this weekend. >> ginger: thank you, eric. >> julie: coming up, when you might see this chair on your next flight. >> lisa: we're staying on top of breaking news. sky 6 is live over a major crash in volusia county on i-4. we'll have an update for you in three minutes.

>> lisa: a man is recovering from second-degree burns he got

>> ginger: it happened in his pocket. >> julie: you can see the man waiting to be checked out and the battery exploded. he went past the employee and out the door and struggled to take off his burning pants. the employee behind the counter grabbed a fire extinguisher and he's now being treated at the hospital for second-degree burns on his legs. >> lisa: it's good he was not by gas pumps or something. >> julie: oh, my. >> lisa: and a pair of london designers -- >> matt: way more comfortable than having an e-cigarette in your pants. i can guarantee you that. it doesn't look that great. before you pass judgment,

exo skeleton you can call it. it's like a spinal cord with a rib cage that moves with every movement there. it will be covered. the end result, the director of factory design says it will adjust to your body, making it more comfortable or even stretch for long periods of time. >> four or five hours in the twisting. >> matt: several airlines have shown interest, we're told, in the twister, which takes no more space than a typical economy seat. that's a big selling point, too, because airlines are trying to smash as many of us on board tose flights as possible. two years, they tell us, is the goal for this. and it has a button. you lean back and it fits to you and you click the button and it stays that way. >> julie: it's like the memory beds. >> matt: sort of like memory foam-ish and it stays there and you click it again and it goes back. >> ginger: it's all good until

it just holds you there. >> matt: then you're stuck on the airplane for good. >> lisa: how comfortable can you be with this much leg room. >> matt: they're not solving world peace. one thing at a time here. >> ginger: chief meteorologist tom sorrells is joining us now. it's starting to get a lot better. >> tom: it's going our way. you want the opportunity to wear your winter boots. >> ginger: one more time at least. >> tom: i'm not sure how many more cool days we're going to have, but if you're a cold weather lover, i think you'll like the extended forecast for the next four or five days. rain tonight, we're finally about to shut her down for the evening. rain showers have been here off and on since 8:30 in the morning, depending on where you are in marion county, it started even earlier than that. oak hill to titusville, the rain is just about done. you can see it pushing on through, past merritt island.
