in the car laughed at me while i was on my car and tried moving and throwing me off. i don't think it's fully sunk in how really bad that could have been. i know it is not the right decision but it was my gut instinct. >> i was going to say, yeah, that's just what she was doing at the time. she's like i got to do this. after a couple seconds though the person inside the suv jumped out left it in gear though. fortunately she was able to jump off the vehicle and get her car back. the thieves got away with her purse wallet and cell phone but she's okay. >> she's okay that's the important part but i think that's a perfect example of don't try this at home. >> yeah you. >> you've probably seen the video the moment a sea lion snatched a young girl o off the pier while she was sitting on the edge. a man was that able to jump in and rescue her. he was able to lift her to safety but we're learning the girl has to get some medical attention to prevent a rare infection called seal finger. the infection caused

bacteria found in the mouths of sea animals. if left untreated it could lead to loss of limbs. >> the el galleon a tall ship docked around 5:00 this morning at the alexandria marina. it's a replica of the 16th century spanish ships. they were cargo ships used to transport spices and livestock but they also brought slaves over to america. you can check out the replica if you wants to all weekend long. the tours will run through 7 o'clock monday evening. wow. what a sight. >> yeah. we've been talking quite a bit about the forecast out there. getting some -- checking out our fox5 weather app. we've got severe thunderstorms. look at how dark it got out here. where are we looking? this is maryland, correct. >> i think you're looking in the district, right look, toward ox -- is that the oxon hill. >> anyway it is raining heavily. >> can't deny. >> parts of the district under a severe thunderstorm warning for portions of southeastern d.c. until about 5:45. i'm going see if that clicks

but the yellow boxes you'll see behind me here and of course all that heavy rain that is moving through from southwest to northeast, the big concerns tonight gusts to 60 because of the threat with trees, hail that could be to the size of three-quarters of an inch. we've had a few reports of that. and a lot of heavy rain. i'm seeing reports of flash flooding going on toward lubbostville area. they did make an upday. let us get in here because earlier this is now just changed so we're doing weather on the fly here but the good news is you get to find out all about it firsthand so this warning was just scaled back but it does include the city of alexandria... they clicked off something else here. they just clicked all of those off so that warning was just canceled a minute ago but we continue to have this one in the yellow. this is on the eastern shore until 6:15 dorchester some somerset. gusts to

and here's what we're watching on that big areas of rain, this one from that d.c. stretching all the way down to the bay, almost to cambridge and then another big area that we see up here just about crossing interstate 70 in frederick county grazing a little bit of montgomery county. we'll see what this line does back here toward front royal. that's moving more to the east but obviously this is coming through at prime time for rush hour and it cannot be fun on the roads. did i mention there's plenty of lightning with it? as we put this in motion for the last hour, you'll be able to see the strikes very prolific especially east of the city and as i box out the area right here through d.c., over to prince george's county and through calvert county, a portion of it, that's about 509 strikes in the last 30 minutes. i'm also tracking some hail. the hail threats seems to be going way down but we tracked pretty good hail core across king george county and then through saint mary's county over to calvert. looks a lot better now and any of the hail reports that we've been seeing

kind of hit or miss. hail does not seem to be as big of a problem as it often is. but everything in motion, our big upper level low is trying to get its way out of here. because we got sunny and hot and humid this afternoon we popped into the 70's. plenty of gasoline for this storm and it fired up these storms. the worst should be over though by about 8, 9 o'clock. these are the risks. flash flooding moderate. strong winds moderate. the large hail threat not too high. tornado threat very low tonight so your evening planner looks like this as we expect a temperature of about 67 degrees at 7 o'clock. everything is rain cooled again. by 9 o'clock really winding down, just some leftover showers. by 11 o'clock only have clouds. we chase most of it out of here as you can see. friday is a much drier day. notice i said much drier. not a hundred percent dry. clouds to start in the morning. there might be a couple showers in the afternoon but by no stretch of the imagination is it going to be a repeat. unfortunately a bit more rain possible as

seven-day forecast including saturday afternoon there could be a couple of storms around, a temperature of 80. sunday scattered storms 80 and maybe the best day of the three-day holiday weekend will be memorial day with only spotty showers and storms. can't even rule them out on tuesday. so, a little bit of an unsettled stretch but not a washout. still some pool time in there. can't rule out the possibility storms as we head on into saturday, sunday. i walked off camera a second just to let you know that in triangle we have reports of a tree down near the intersection of graham park road and cabin road so keeping track of all of that in your seven-day forecast. we will that certainly continue to track strong storms and any other warnings that pop up in the course of our next hour and 15 minutes on the air. sarah and jim back to you. >> thank you sue. >> good reminder again download the fox5 weather app. all right, we've been talking about this throughout the day. party getting started here at fox5. two ballou high school senior he is getting glammed up for
