technology has improved our lives, in small ways. in big ways. but what about this? couldn't this be better too? at redfin we asked ourselves the same question. which led us to create new ways to take you inside a home or instantly schedule a tour. but we paired that with our own agents who aren't paid on commission but on your happiness. and that's what makes it all work

11:16 pm
near-death experiences or ndes typically occur during times of crisis including near-drownings surgery or severe illness, but no matter the circumstances, some of the same elements are usually present. things like having a sense of being lifted out of your body feeling at peace and seeing deceased relatives. >> we know that all people have them all ages all genders, about half and half all religions, even those religions that don't believe in an after life. >> reporter: corcoran works with researchers like robert mays who collect people's near-death experiences to analyze them. he believes that ndes occur when a person's consciousness or awareness separates from their physical body. >> the experience is so intense, so hyperreal that we speculate that that is because when you're in your body the physical body and the brain kind of damp down
11:17 pm
your consciousness. and when you're suddenly free of your physical body then there is this freedom and hyper-real perceptions, clarity of thought. >> the freedom that came from really letting go was amazing, was indescribable. now, it's really hard being back in life. >> reporter: how has this whole experience affected or changed your life? >> a sense of awareness that i want to do the right thing here. i don't want to -- because i saw where i might be able to go and i don't know. >> reporter: you don't want to mess it up. >> i don't want to mess that up. >> reporter: researchers also tell us that people who have near-death experiences often have after-effects. they may become more priorities can change dramatically. there can also be physiological effects, too. things like allergies and new sensetyies to light and noise. >> that's fascinating. there is new video tonight. an attempt to stay warm cost a
11:18 pm
guy his truck and his house. the guy started his truck with that remote control unit the kind most of us have. doug has one. >> yep. >> it happened in san angelo texas, this morning. about ten minutes later the truck caught fire and then it spread to his house. it burned down. down in mexico there's a plume of smoke erupting from what they call down there the volcano of fire today. that volcano is one of mexico's most active. just a few months ago it was spewing ash that covered the towns down below. look at that. that's amazing. >> it is. i saw one the other day that had a beautiful pyroclastic flow that came down the side of it. that's the hot ash. it came right down that mountain. that camera that you see there fixed and shows it all the time. >> when that stuff comes down it comes down 250 miles per hour. >> and a thousand degrees.
11:19 pm
you're in that, you're toast. >> only want to see that from a distance or on video. >> we just did that. that cold that you're seeing out there tonight, nobody wants to see that. take a look and see how cold things are. after a high of 55 yesterday, it now feels like 11 in the d.c. area. and that's at the airport. 22 degrees is the current temperature. so boy, have we fallen quite far. take a look at the winds continuing to gust across our region. upwards of 15 to 20 miles per hour. it's been a very windy day. upwards of 30-mile-an-hour winds and those contribute to the wind chill. early tomorrow morning feels like now in the single digits tomorrow morning we're right there again. around 9 in d.c. this is 7:00 a.m. on your friday. 2 in hagerstown 5 in martinsburg, 9 in annapolis. here's the good news. it won't be frigid all day. yes, even around noon we'll see those wind chills in the low to
11:20 pm
mid-20s, but once this goes through, 1:00 2:00 3:00 in the often afternoon, things start to look better. as a matter of fact look at this picture from new york all the way down towards ralei not a cloud in the sky. that will allow temperatures to continue to cool overnight. so with the day planner, you're going to start off very cold. a temperature of 19 with that wind chill in the single digits. but notice the rise 26 by 11:00. up to 38 by 4:00. 38's and less wind it's not going to feel nearly as cold as it has overnight tonight. and not nearly as cold as tomorrow. you'll leave tomorrow with the heavy coats on and come back maybe without the gloves without the hat because it will be pretty nice by 2:00 3:00 4:00 in the afternoon. 38 around the leesburg area and it gets even better. 52 on saturday. 55 again on sunday. if you've got weekend plans, the weekend's looking fantastic. now, of course we do have that system coming in on monday.
11:21 pm
it will be rain late sunday into the day on monday. could end with some snow on tuesday, yeah it's possible but i don't think we'll see anything significant from that one. just another one that wants to give boston another foot of snow. >> if your kids are like mine you'll bundle them up in the morning and they'll come with no coat. they can't find it. i don't know. wizards, what is wrong with the

11:27 pm
second win in a row for the caps. 2-1 the final. you felt good on that one earlier today. all right. so we say a pain in the butt, right, is how we describe things tiger woods prefers to say a pain in the glutes. the golfer blamed his glutes for causing back pain that forced him to exit early from the farmers insurance open. this is the heavy fog that delayed the start of tiger's round by two hours. he said he got all stiff there. he couldn't stay loose. by the 6th hole he was grabbing at that lower back. on his 10th hole there he go grabbing it again. by the time it got to the 12th hole the pain got to be too much. tiger limping to the cart. he was 2 over par at the time. here's how she explains what happened. >> i was ready to go. i had a good form the first time around. then we stood out here and i got cold. everything started deactivating again. it's frustrating that i just can't stay activated.
11:28 pm
it's just kind of the way it is. >> deactivated glutes. got to keep them warm. number five maryland women keep on rolling, 77-62 over penn state. >> i kind of deactivate too, when i get cold. >> age, age is a killer. >> but doesn't he have someone in stands to keep his buns warm?
