and siblings from outbursts, that's not what kimberly kuizon was told. how did they find out what was going on. explain that. >> reporter: the girl happened to break free. she ran to a neighbor's house but she needed help and they called 911. detectives believe this had been going on for several months. the's parents would zip tie her hands and ankles and restrain her in the play house. she would be left there for so long she would soil herself. and their daughter is a special needs child. there have eight children all together. now even if they could not handle their daughter, detectives say this behavior was inexcusable; she would wear zip ties around her wrist and ankle ankles, it would be constant. they leave them on her so they

she described some situations they would connect her wrists to her ankles. >> and now, he is a radiologist and she is a lawyer. they appeared to believe what they did was okay. their lawyer hinted the child was too much to handle. it was with abuse and held on a $5000 bond. dcf has custody of all the children. there could be a hearing to determine what will happen to the rest of them. plans for a high speed ferry in the works. they announced this. they're talking about it. the mayor hoping to negotiate a project with the ferry line. he asked for a commitment here and the aaron mesmer was there. what happened. >> this will cost $1.3 million,

>> this is a viable transportation meths odd. it could be a win-win. >> but he cautioned the commissioners that the cities and counties could lose money. >> the reality is that transportation infrequently is a profit making venture. bet there is a payoff. >> it is about quality of life and payoff. stacy white said at the time concerns funding and the only commissioner to vote know. >> i don't know how i go to a constituent and justify i voted in favor of an even split. >> and the trip will take 40 minutes. the council has agreed to earmark $350,000. he is hoping for that same commitment from the tampa city council this month. the program would start in october and run through match. >> thank you. there are few traditions in

3 3 ((mark--vo-)) this time last week, we were pining over the 300 million dollar powerball jackpot. that's chump change! the pot is now up to 500 million smackers!! fox13's chris cato is in tampa where wannabe winners are lining up! 3 ((chris)). roll cue for vo: "the jackpot has been building since november 4th..." 3 ((chris--vo-)) the whipping numbers, i don't like these. these are not winning numbers.

ky not get my money back. it is yours when you bought it. this powerball has people coming in here and playing for the first time. this the current jack jackpot has been rolling over. and it is now the 6th largest prize in the history of lottery operations. estimated 500 million. sales will drive that number up throughout the night. a florida woman won the largest powerball 590 and a half million back in 2013. we have not heard from her since. a lot of people haven't. we have been seeing people coming in all day here at this store again as i mentioned earlier a lot of them said this is the first time they played powerball. some said they don't play often. maybe only when the jackpot is above 300 million. what good is a 250 million. what can you do with that.

to answer when they are dreaming is if you were that one in 292 million person who wins what do you do with all that money? >> here are two answers. >> first mom need as mansion. >> and a yacht. >> a submarine to attach to the yacht. >> a submarine and yacht? >> yes. >> do you need a submarine. >> i don't need one. tell me what you would do with the millions. >> i would build houses for the homeless. >> you would do that? >> yes, i would. >> i would hold that to you. i'll find you see how many houses we can build. >> yes. >> we're going to follow up on that for you. and so we all know the truth is the winner does against $500 million. it looks pretty but this is what it boils down to. if you take the cash option you

after hankle sam and other entities get the taxes 185 million is what that boils down to. no it's not a half a billion can you scrape by. if you took the annuity option that spread out over payments over a period of 30 years the first payment would start at $10.2 million. it will go up from there. i'll take that. the odds of winning one in 292 million. not great. but you know if you have a ticket you have a chance. probably better odds than winning idol which i'm not on. that's on fox tonight. >> it is. >> we'll hold our tickets. if you win it is 100%. >> seeing the numbers i like the annuity option. talk about the taxes. we can dream, right. >> and there is a better chance of snow tomorrow than us

i guess it could snow. good luck. how about this. we had some rain today but you want to see rain. boy, you know we you are sick of hearing about it. it is what it is. >> this is el nino. in the pacific the changes. configuration and low pressure after low pressure rolling into california. that's a forecast that you know when you see it coming t always works out. that street flooding in la. raining right now. i want to show you some live radar on sky tower. the rain in california is incredible. and check this out. a warning in san diego happened a while ago. that is the first one in san diego in three years. in that southern california area. that's heavy rain. this is like the kind of rain

that's hitting san diego up to la and it goes up the valley to fresno and continues just pound areas north and west. for us all we have is areas of light rain coming in from the atlantic. did not add up to all that much. a cloudy afternoon and cool. temperatures in the 60s. one more look. bouncing around on the sky tower. more rain up continues to come in. san francisco and some of this is snow in the higher terrain. temperatures were held in check because low clouds and that spotty rain which is moving in from the atlantic. 62 in tampa orlando. low 70s areas south. not as strong as they were. but still it is pretty busy running 12 in tampa. 12 in st. pete. 15 miles an hour in brooksville and higher wind speeds. we're 62.

winds are northeast at 12. and around the country low pressure south that will move by. we dry up for a bit. because of the fast jet stream along the southern states. more energy moving our way friday into saturday. this is a low that will ride along the jet. here is another. snow in blue in the mountains t is a mess. cold air rapid city is 22. minneapolis is 31. speaking of minneapolis. they have a playoff game. it is sunday against the seahawks. it will be one of the top ten coldest nfl games on record going zero at kickoff with wind chills -- wind chill at minus 20.

played dallas in the 1960s. 15 below. 34 in chicago now. 35 in columbus and new york. we stay in the 50s tonight under mostly cloudy skies. any rain ends tomorrow as low pressure moves away we should see some sun and because of that. milder with the mercury in the low to mid70s. low pressure goes away. that's that. mainly rain free and behind that low here we go. low pressure across the gulf. rain. rape saturday night sunday. another system heads our way. it is busy. this is what we get during the el nino winters. once in a while those lows can be strong and they can produce severe weather. don't see that happening yet. patchy clouds, mild. 57. cloudy.

rain should be arriving at some point. friday night for late in the day. 75 for high. another batch of rain. saturday into sunday. that goes by and there could be colder weather arriving during the second half of next week. kind of busy. what you have got, chip? >> jon cooper tells us what the lightning needs. it is more than a win.

player in college well the lightning lose to calgary the story is this the lightning should never have lost. they are on a four game road trip they should win all four games. that's not just my opinion that's what the locker room is thinking. the bolts were outplayed in calgary. they were not a factor. and when the lightning looked like this and using speed and skill they're below average. stamkos was not mincing words. jon cooper puts at this time a different way. he know was they need. it is more than one win. , we have to get out of this, win one, lose one, we have to

every team around us goes on a run, we have not been on that run yet. the longest win streak has been three games, we have done it twice this year. we have to go on this run. the problem is that we're not scoring. when you put all that pressure on the goaltender is tough. we have to help them out. >> and they are going to be in the all-star game that's on the wild side for bishop. instead of one game they break it down to three 20 minute games and three on three hockey. the goalies will see a lot of shots. i'll tell you what else. that means exciting. and exhausting for the players. >> usf plays ucft is the bull's first chance to go up against taco fall. he is 7'6". he is just a freshman. but.

why keep a 7'6" freshman on the bench. he is from senegal and averaging 5 rebounds. that's not a number from someone with that height. he is having trouble adjusting to the speed of the game not the sizepeed. but blocking a lot of shots. how do you get around the player who is 7'6". >> you have to move him and see how you can challenge him on the court and let him get comfortable. you have to be physical. >> he is a big boy. >> yes, he is. a guy that want their picture take within. he is famous for a freshman. this is a cheerleader next to him. [ laughter ] >> so, she is standing. >> she is really standing. she is not that tall but he is that tall. >> he is that tall.
