40,000 homes damaged and some are calling on president obama to break away from his family vacation to visit the state. we do hear from the president has been br briefed about the situation and has approved federal disaster assistance for the area, but the flooding is not just taking a toll on people, but on al mal today a number of dogs arrived in florida from louisiana and they were not lost dogs but were moving from shelters there to shelters in florida so shelters in louisiana would take in the thousands of dogs that are displaced. >> i'm a big believer in helping your neighbors whether they are across country lines or out of state.

and now they are here, mainly puppies and small-breed dogs. and right now they are getting spayed and neuters and micro chips and louisiana has some really interesting dogs up there, they have a i think it's called a c catahoula and mixed breed dogs with spots. >> katrina. >> and thank goodness there are shelters that can make room for them. >> still dealing with the left-over rain, there will be more showers in louisiana this weekend but of course nothing like they just witnessed. we are taking about looking ahead to a height at the end of the tunnel, 23 days to go until our average high drops to 89. it's not much and you remember

being hit by rain now and that extends up 75. electricthere is a storm popping up on the charlotte sarasota line. this rain will probably get over north port and the rain in arcadia will slide to the west. so there's a couple more showers to deal with in our southern counties. beside that, if you've been outside, it's night. the rain went by and cooled off and then we went to the east as the full ster sturgeon moon is overhead, seems like every single day we are a degree or two away from 92, except for a couple of days ago. the seabreeze today was pinned right along the coast, and the

collapses and the storms move away. right now 70's and low 80's and the future cast shows the beginning of a weather pattern change. the east wind givingway to a bit more in the way of a sea breeze. >> a definite stronger sea breeze tomorrow and that should continue over the weekend. we have not seen a lot of west wind this summer. we can get into a pattern -- the ridge axis is goes to slide to the south and that means especially over the weekend, here is tropical storm had fiona. this wave bears watching. that could move west in the caribbean in about five to seven days.

one could be interesting. slow-moving storms could drift inland during the day, and the forecast for saturday is partly cloudy with storms moving inland and we are back up near 90. your seven-day is 90's for a high and 70 to 80 for lows. >> we a proud to bring you this story, an emotional months in the making. >> look at that, these parents greeting their children after two years. years. >> we have some very interesting changes on the election math and
