scenes like this awaited them. it didn't look like anyone could have survived, man inside when this house was inside, made it out. first responders had to find him. >> he was parked behind the car. >> reporter: everyone made it out of this house, too, inspite the wizard of oz experience after having the home lifted. it was surreal to the homeowner and first responders. >> i've been able to go out and talk to some of the residents and everybody is traumatized but everybody is happy and blessed that there were no fatalities. >> the rain was coming so hard and the wind was blowing very hard. my son was freaking out because the tree, you could hear the tree hitting the roof. >> reporter: ironically she said the tree came down as the roof was lifting up and kept it in place. hope, nonetheless. >> it was one of those things where it seems like it's always going to happen somewhere else, but it did happen here. this is a very resilient community. they can recover very kl

guess, to where we were today. so i'm going to take back my first statement, after the weekend, then we'll be waiting for more comfortable days. currently, temperatures are in the 70s and 80s. 77 out in leesburg. just a spectacular evening and a gorgeous start tomorrow morning on your wednesday. 7:00 a.m. we're at 70 degrees. we'll have partly to mostly cloudy skies and early afternoon hours definitely in the upper 70s, high tomorrow of 83. pretty much exactly what we saw today, not too humid and tomorrow like looking great, 80 degrees at 7:00 p.m. nationals game tonight will be perfect winter weather and tomorrow night will be the same forecast. take a look at the humidity levels, maybe a little bit humid feeling out there tomorrow on your wednesday, still closer to comfortable than impressive by far. thursday and friday we start to feel a little bit on the muggy side. but then for the weekend, humidity levels really come down, low humidity in the fore b

as sunday. so this is perfect weather to eat outdoors tonight, tomorrow night, thursday, though, with thunderstorms in the forecast, maybe consider eating outdoors but definitely have a plan b, backup plan to be able to move indoors or quickly change those plans. with all the rain we've had lately. they're coming in moderate, thankfully everything else, trees, grasses an weeds are coming in low. take a look at your ten day forecast. wednesday, again, tomorrow, comfortable, once again. 83 for a high. thursday humid, 90 for a high on thursday, there's the 30% chance for late day thunderstorms on thursday, a bit of a better chance for thunderstorms on friday, any storms thursday or friday could be on the strong to severe side with really heavy rain that's slow moving leader to flash flooding. but then, doreen, 77 saturday, 84 sunday and low humidity both days. >> and nice timing for the weekend. >> perfect timing. >> sounds great, thank you amelia. >> a surprise house guest, still

not have gps, so it won't track workers when they aren't at the office or maybe hiding at the work space. about 50 employees have volunteered for the program. so far, so what do you think? well according to our flash survey tonight, most of you would not be on that volunteered list and overwhelming zwromajor say they don't want a micro chip embedded in their skin no matter who it's from. >> you won't have to worry about carrying your id card around. >> that's where we've gotten. >> no possible way for me. wow. still ahead, more tributes to our colleague, jim vance, as players and fans prepare to honor him at nats park tonight. >> it was his last interview and a story vance was so excited to tell, the visionary behind the national museum

culture shares his memor

remembering our colleague jim vance, we realize we're aren't the only one that held him in such high regard. >> we've heard from people all over the country, not just our region, who knew him or knew of his work. now we learn vance will have a spot in smithsonian's national muse museum of african-american

>> jim had a chance to visit the museum not too long when he interviewed director, having seen so much of it through the eyes of those of us who had reported on its beginnings from the ground breaking all the way through its opening last year. jim was thrilled to see it with his own eyes. we're glad his trip included a tv camera that captured prosperity, his excitement and his many questions as he got to see history unfold before his eyes. >> when jim vance, behind a camera, recorded the last interview of his career as a journalist, no one knew it would be the last after 45 years on the job. but lonnie bunch, a young student studying history at howard university, some 30 years ago, knew the first time he saw this journalist in front of a camera, but he was making history. >> jim vance was my generation. there was a sense that he was somebody who was cool, who understood the importance of hard work, but who was committed to making

black washington, but washington better. what jim vance really did is he symbolized possibility. he symbolized that it was really important that america was changing and his presence was a symbol of that change. >> and what would he want to display in the museum to tell the story of jim vance. >> one of the things that's real clear to me, is that first of all, jim vance did his homework, so it would be really nice to have, maybe, some of the pads that he wrote his questions on, you know the ones that he used to interview me, i think it would be important to help people understand how he did the work he did. and then i think, because this is television, we really want his images of vance in action. >> here at the museum of african-american history and culture, the visitor numbers have far exceeded expectations, with upwards of 8,000 visitors a day since it opened in september. many visitors will one day come to learn

was. >> you want people to be able to see how he moved, how he thought, how he engaged the camera, how he engaged the public and how he left. so in many ways the key would be, what would allow us to understand who jim vance was, what kind of person he was, what he believed in, and how did his commitment to his craft how he had a commitment to making his city better there's no doubt he loved his craft and he loved his city. >> history will record how a city of income, background, race and politics, would come to invest so much trust in this journalist. >> people trusted jim vance and they trusted him in a way that they knew that he would be true, that he would be candid, that he would be professional, but that more importantly, he would be human. he alw

was a guy on the corner that you could talk to. >> and he was. i think jim vance would never have thought his name would be one day in a smithsonian museum here in washington. he saw himself as a seeker of truth and his job was to tell it like it was. and he did that and we all trusted him and so did so many of you who watched him for those 45 year that is he was here at nbc 4. >> we know excited he was to have his picture on the wall at the chili bowl. i think this would just take his breath away. >> i think maybe his -- some kind of mistake or something, that's right. thank you, barbara. >> thank you. serving her 14th term in congress, her work on behalf of dc residents earned her a place on the mural at ben's chili bowl. her image is right beside jim vance. last night she read a tribute to vance on the house floor. sh

anchor desk at a time of tremendous racial economic and political upheaval in the district. >> jim vance took the dare and told our ever daring changing story straight. he made us see ourselves from a city with too much crime to today's dc crime in a big surplus, only a combination of consummate professionalism and during after fir mablt could recover so much quick moving news without ever missing a beat. jim vance brilliantly told our story throughout our first era of it. these years also encapsulated his service and now drawing his legacy with the own history. >> and another big vance tonight. this time by the washington

when you get out of a history, then everybody gets a little uni larmed. he's not alarmed. he didn't look alarmed. he actually experienced, maybe using -- maybe he was at peace, actually. >> tonight the first home game since july 9th, meaning first home game for new relievers ryan and sean do little. do little joining the nats, means he's coming home in a way. do little played his college ball at the university of virginia and one season with that so long ago i was playing first base. hit gs behind him. i got a ton of good pitches to
